Create sustainability calculations with Monitor ERP
Monitor ERP’s functionality enables you to perform sustainability calculations and measure the climate impact of your manufacturing activities, making it easier to comply with the EU’s CSRD directive and ESRS standard. The function makes it possible to simply and carefully measure the impact of your operations, and thereby work towards more sustainable and responsible production.
Meet the sustainability requirements with Monitor ERP
The new EU directive, CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), means that even small and medium-sized companies will have to prepare sustainability reports according to the new reporting standard, ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting standards), as of 2026.
To make it easier for you to comply with the new directives, we have developed Sustainability by Monitor. By adding to the data which is already included in the ERP system with information on energy consumption and carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), Monitor ERP can calculate your climate impact at component level and help you to plan your emissions at company level (according to Scope 1, 2 and 3). This means you can easily monitor and report your environmental impact and make active sustainable decisions for your business.
We used to use Excel to calculate our environmental impact. Now we do this in the ERP system, which makes our climate reporting and everyday work easier.
