The Unit4 FP&A solution is designed to assist organizations in analyzing and reporting their ESG data. It supports compliance and regulatory reporting. The model includes
calculations and business logic (such as KWh, m3, kg CO2 and km conversions) but is not an out of the box solution including standards data for GRI, TFCD, SASB
or IFRS S1 and S2. This requires the collection of data and a vendor partnership, which we can support.
