Why Is the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework important?
Sustainability and environmentally responsible operations are no longer optional for businesses. The pressure to collect and report environmental data is increasing, especially as companies must comply with strict regulations and meet internal sustainability goals. JD Edwards responds to this with a standardized solution for collecting and analyzing environmental data, enabling companies to easily track their energy consumption, fuel usage, and resulting CO2 emissions.

What can you expect from the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework?
The framework offers a standardized method for gathering and managing data from various business activities. This includes tracking data on fuel and energy usage, which is crucial for measuring environmental impact. With this integrated approach, companies can more easily comply with both mandatory and voluntary ESG reporting.
Expected features of the framework:
- Environmental data collection: Data such as energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions are recorded in a standardized way, helping businesses monitor and report emissions accurately. This allows companies to identify potential improvements and prepare for stricter regulations.
- Integration with external solutions: While the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework provides a strong foundation for collecting environmental data, companies can integrate external tools and software to calculate and report their CO2 emissions. This makes the system flexible, so it can be tailored to the specific needs of different industries and regions.

The role of ESG in business operations
More and more businesses are incorporating ESG principles into their strategies, not only to minimize environmental impact but also to increase transparency for investors and customers. The JD Edwards Sustainability Framework supports this by helping companies manage the environmental component of ESG. However, it’s important to note that the framework is still in development. Oracle has indicated that adjustments to functionalities and integrations may be made after the initial release.

A platform for the future
Although the JD Edwards Sustainability Framework does not perform carbon calculations itself, it integrates seamlessly with external tools that do, such as Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Oracle Analytics Cloud. These tools provide detailed analysis and reporting, helping businesses plan and optimize their sustainability initiatives.
Conclusion
The JD Edwards Sustainability Framework offers a promising solution for companies looking to manage and improve their environmental impact. By enabling efficient collection and reporting of environmental data, businesses can better meet the increasingly strict demands of ESG reporting. While the functionalities may evolve, it’s clear that this development is a significant step toward a more sustainable future for JD Edwards users.
