EPM for Sustainability - New Solution Available for Environmental, Social, and Governance Reporting and Planning

Oracle offers EPM for Sustainability - a best-practice solution configured on the Planning business process that helps you manage challenges in both the reporting and planning aspects of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) information.

EPM for Sustainability is a best practice configurable application and not a supported Planning module. Both "Modules" and "Solutions" provide best practices. However, "Modules" are fully supported capabilities in EPM Cloud. On the other hand, "Solutions" are intended to be configured applications that deliver rapid time to value. For assistance with EPM for Sustainability, contact Cloud Customer Connect.

EPM for Sustainability delivers a future-proofed and foundational ESG Reporting and Planning solution that allows you to rapidly deploy a single source of truth relating to your ESG requirements:

  • Let's you view a single source of truth for ESG reporting and planning, now and in the future.
  • Includes pre-built KPIs, metrics, carbon calculators, input templates, dashboards, and reports.
  • Displays emissions by Scope 1, 2, and 3 (purchased goods and services, waste, and water).
  • Includes social, governance, and all other required disclosure metrics.
  • Mapped to common Green House Gas (GHG) protocol outputs.
  • Supports all ESG Reporting frameworks (for example, CSRD, TCFD, ESRS, IFRS, GRI).
  • Supports legal entity, organization, business unit, and line of business reporting.
  • Let's you rapidly create plans/forecasts and initiatives for the future.
  • Provides the agility and flexibility to map to organizational requirements and expand over time.

EPM for Sustainability leverages the innovative capabilities built into the EPM Cloud platform, such as:

  • Predictive Planning
  • IPM Insights
  • Self-service, real-time, drillable dashboards
  • Report templates and output for internal and external reporting
  • Oracle Smart View for Office, so you can work in the familiar Microsoft Excel environment
