Hi,

Where can i find information on Project ESG Lake.

Thanks

Project ESG Lake to help organizations better manage and prepare their data for holistic analysis and ultimately advance their progress toward achieving sustainability goals.
The solution offers an expansive ESG data model with more than 400 tables covering carbon, water, waste, social, governance, biodiversity, and general business areas. Using it, organizations can build a comprehensive data estate, centralizing and transforming data from across business units and supply chains into a standard schema that’s ready for advanced analytics and reporting. Greater visibility into activities across the business will help decision-makers improve ESG and business performance while boosting long-term competitiveness.
Project ESG Lake empowers organizations to bring together ESG data from various source systems and standardize it to the ESG data model to build a centralized ESG data estate.
With this solution, organizations can:

Bring calculated emissions data from Microsoft Sustainability Manager or other third-party solutions into their ESG data estate, leveraging data integration and transformation frameworks that are offered within Project ESG Lake.

Integrate their Microsoft-based emissions related to their usage of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 into their ESG data estate. The data can be transformed and standardized to the analytical ESG data model using Project ESG Lake’s transformation framework to prepare for analytics and reporting initiatives.

Further enrich their data using external datasets that are offered through Project ESG Lake across various sustainability categories, including biodiversity, climate risk, energy, and ESG.

Leverage standardized ESG data in Project ESG Lake in the new Microsoft Fabric, an end-to-end, unified analytics platform that enables developers to leverage the power of generative AI against their data and helps business users glean meaningful insights from their data. Fabric can be used to access, deploy, and compute the solutions and services offered by Project ESG Lake.

Connect aggregated and standardized ESG data in Project ESG Lake to a set of Power BI reporting templates aligned to ESG data models. These can help organizations accelerate the analysis and reporting of ESG categories and to visualize applicable metrics in Power BI. Power BI reports and visualizations can be customized to focus on specific metrics and targets for reporting initiatives.
