ESG Data: 2-Hour Workshop

Managing operational decision making, in the realm of ESG, is difficult. Many companies are tracking their data with manual, time-consuming spreadsheet-based processes which often creates more challenges than it solves. It is critical to create a process that is adaptable to changes in business operations and requirements so that the information is readily available, accurate, and at the right level of granularity to enable timely decision making. Utilizing our extensive knowledge of Microsoft 365, the Azure Cloud Platform, and Microsoft's Cloud for Sustainability, Slalom will help you create an automated, repeatable, and auditable process that fits your organization's needs.

Key areas that we will work with you to identify your ESG data needs include:

Corporate ESG Reporting - We will help you enable annual ESG reporting. By using natively captured Microsoft 365 data points in conjunction with key cloud resources like Azure Data Factory, and other data pipelining tools, we ensure proper data schemas and full connectivity across your Microsoft 365 based data and any additional disparate data sources. Impactful Power BI report opportunities are consistently identified and tied to business value and ESG needs.

Management and Tracking of Actions - To track the impact of ESG actions being taken across all operational areas of the business your organization needs a sophisticated monitoring system. The natively connected products across the Microsoft 365 suite for modern work will pipe directly to single endpoints for visualization and review - enabling quick and accurate snapshots of enterprise-wide action. Resources such as Azure Monitor serve as a foundation for us to build a bespoke monitoring experience for your team. Additionally, the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability will ingest all your disparate data sources and points of contact to create an auditable record for future analysis and use.

Forecasting and Scenario Modeling - The ability to forecast expected impact on your footprint of actions taken, planned, or being taken is a sign of maturity in the ESG space. Azure is a cloud leader in its ability to facilitate high-end forecasting models that utilize your entire data estate throughout Microsoft 365.

At the end of this workshop we will have a clear path towards the highest value PoC in the ESG space.
