Environmental Accounting & Reporting

chimney-stacks

Environmental Accounting & Reporting is a purpose built module for Oracle's JD Edwards and E-Business Suite ERP that allows you to throw away the spreadsheets! Originally developed by Ndevr, Environmental Accounting & Reporting is fully embedded with your existing ERP, enabling you to capture and transform all your environmental data at the source transaction level. (Read more about the acquisition here)

Environmental Accounting & Reporting creates one extra field of data within your financial modules and enable all of the raw consumption data for emissions and energy related items to be captured by a single additional data entry field within your existing Enterprise software. So there is no duplication of AP related data in spreadsheets, no doubling handling of invoices between the finance and sustainability departments, and no more vast spreadsheets of complex formulas to complete.

Your enterprise software automatically handles the conversion of raw data into both emissions and energy equivalent, before sending all data out to the reporting tool (Oracle's Business Intelligence) allowing you to pin point emissions and enegy consumption down to the individual asset, or trace emissions sources back to the original inventory issue, invoice, or other ledger transaction.

Environmental Accounting & Reporting is able to make the acts of collecting, converting, and reporting enterprise wide environmental data a fully automated exercise - eliminating spreadsheets, freeing up your sustainability team to focus on real sustainability issues.

As the original developers of these modules, Ndevr has multiple reference sites for both the software, as well as the implementation of these modules - we are also able to work with several International Oracle partners should you wish to use local partners for implementation or ongoing support.

Feature	Benefit	Reporting Advantage
Fully Embedded Modules developed using the respective code bases	Seamlessly integrated across your existing ERP system - this means that the modules maintain the exact same look and feel as all other applications currently in use by your staff, ensuring a high level of take up and reducing the cost of training.	Reports can incorporate financials, employee related data, and asset level reporting, enabling you to track emissions against business KPI's such as emissions vs employee headcount, or energy consumed vs corporate or division annual revenue.
Captures Environmental Data within your existing ERP system	Your ERP system is incredibly robust, and stands up to the most rigorous global accounting audit standards, as well as handling security and role based access requirements.	Reports are generated from data that is output directly from your ERP system, meaning you are able to save a substantial amount of time and money on both internal and external audits.
Captures Scope 1, 2 and 3 data	GHG Accounting Software is the only solution currently able to reliably handle scope 3 data from across your enterprise. (Scope 3 data includes all 5 classifications of waste) Water has no emissions, yet all related data is easily handled by GHG Accounting Software.	Use the detail in your reports to pin point areas of your business that can be targeted for emissions reduction programs, and easily see the results - such as better use of conferencing facilities to reduce the costs and emissions associated with airline travel, or implementing end of day shut down policies to reduce the costs and emissions caused by electricity consumption. Capture information about the amount of water consumed, converted to grey water, recycled, and captured from a roof top or sent back out as waste water. Track this information over time, and use it to incentivise employees to make a difference at work as well as at home. Easily build and submit more comprehensive sustainability reports to your shareholders and staff - easily include your companies community involvement, or the number of native trees planted in a revegetation program.
Pre-Built Reports	Get compliant straight away, with pre-built reports, analytics and dashboards. Oracle's Business Intelligence also enables you to create ad-hoc reports easily, ensuring you will be able to generate complaince reports for any environmental scheme quickly and easily.	Additional pre-built reports include Enterprise wide Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, by source - with drill down capabilities Enterprise wide energy consumption or production - with drill down capabilities Corporate KPI reports Energy and Emissions History View lists of controlling and interested parties in any facility or project
Multiple hierarchies and corporate structures enabled	Many environmental reporting schemes require reporting to be handled across industry sectors instead of by a standard corporate hierarchy. Also many company operations result in them having to include the operations of subcontractors, or exclude some of their own operations from reports as they don't have operational control over those operations.	Report for any of the following - and much more at any level - from individual assets or facilities up to the full corporate overview. by sector or industry by operational control by individual emissions types, or by emissions scope. energy consumed, produced, or sold
Requires only one additional piece of data to be captured.	Most of the raw environmental data passes through your financial system in the form of invoices, purchase orders, expense claims, or inventory issues. We enable your enterprise system to capture that one extra piece of information relating to consumption (eg KW/H of electricity, Litres of Fuel, Volume of Waste, Litres of Water,). The enterprise system then handles all data conversion to emissions and energy equivalents automatically. There is minimal to no impact to your finance department and their existing business processes,	The capture of raw data is quick and easy, it is also able to be fully automated. Most companies will be able to eliminate the use of spreadsheets entirely from the sustainability reporting process - eliminating error, reducing costs, freeing up qualified staff, reducing audit time, and vastly improving the time it takes to generate a relevant report for your organisation.
