This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1.
The 4th of the new functionality in the Sustainability management section is capture sustainability data with general journals.
Recording greenhouse gases using general journals allows businesses to track and reduce their carbon footprint and use double materiality more effectively. By integrating environmental data with financial records, companies can identify high-emission activities, make informed sustainability decisions, and enhance their corporate responsibility. The proactive approach not only meets regulatory requirements but also attracts eco-conscious customers, strengthens brand reputation, and can lead to cost savings through more efficient resource management.
