What’s new in the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework?
The JD Edwards Sustainability Framework offers several new features focused on collecting and reporting environmental data. These new capabilities allow for better structuring and integration of the data within existing business processes.
- Sustainability Activity Ledger: This central database enables companies to easily store and manage sustainability activities that impact the environment, such as stationery and mobile combustion activities. A key new feature is the flexibility to directly edit or input data into the Sustainability Activity Ledger, enhancing ease of use.
- Advanced integrations with Accounts Payable and Procurement: The framework now integrates even more deeply with systems like Voucher Match and Standard Voucher Entry, automatically capturing environmental data during invoice processing. This reduces manual entry, making the process more efficient and less prone to errors.
Flexibility and integration with carbon calculation and reporting tools
One of the most significant additions is the flexibility to integrate with external carbon calculation and reporting tools. This is crucial for organizations that need more detailed emission calculations, depending on their region, industry, or other factors. Oracle EPM, for example, offers a ready-made solution for carbon calculation and ESG reporting.
One-time setup for sustainability
A major benefit of this framework is the ability to perform a simple, one-time setup of essential sustainability data. This makes it easier for organizations to define activity types (e.g., stationary or mobile combustion), fuel types, emission types, and other critical data, resulting in more accurate and less time-consuming reporting.
Improved data management
The JD Edwards Sustainability Framework now offers a platform that not only captures data but also provides a robust data management system. It enables the Sustainability Manager to review, approve, and verify records for accuracy, adding an extra layer of oversight and data quality control.
The next step for your organization
Thanks to the latest additions to the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework, organizations can now manage and report their environmental data even more easily. The improved integrations, flexibility to connect with external tools, and enhanced user-friendliness make this an essential tool for organizations that prioritize sustainability in their business operations.
