ESG Lake Accelerator - 4 Weeks-Assessment with Cloud Intel

ESG Lake is a new data solution in Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability, introduced to facilitate the management and preparation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data for holistic analysis and reporting, which is crucial to achieving sustainability goals. It serves as a central platform for standardizing data originating from various sources and seamlessly integrating data from Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 emissions sources into the ESG framework. This integrated data can be efficiently analyzed and reported through Power BI, leveraging customized templates to expedite ESG reporting and the visualization of essential metrics. This makes ESG Lake an indispensable solution for informed and sustainable decision-making, enhancing long-term competitiveness.

Cloud Intel helps you leverage the ESG Lake capabilities and enables you to build a holistic data estate for ESG data.

As part of our comprehensive assessment, Cloud Intel evaluates your current ESG data management practices, data sources, and infrastructure. We aim to understand your sustainability goals and objectives to align the ESG Lake solution seamlessly. We identify disparities between your current ESG data management state and the desired state and ensure that ESG Lake can bridge these gaps.

Cloud Intel evaluates the readiness of your technical infrastructure to leverage the capabilities of the ESG Lake solution. This ensures a smooth and seamless integration that maximizes the benefits of the solution.

We extend our scrutiny to analyze your organization's adherence to relevant ESG regulations and standards. This thorough examination ensures that your operations align with legal requirements, thereby minimizing compliance risks.

If you're not using Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability, we'll analyze your current processes and help you migrate to it. We provide a migration plan and assist you in leveraging ESG Lake and Azure Cloud Services capabilities for smoother ESG reporting.

As a final outcome of the assessment, you'll receive a detailed estimate of the financial requirements associated with both the initial adoption and ongoing maintenance of the ESG Lake solution on the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability. We will provide a benefits analysis, a clear roadmap, a Proof of Concept (PoC), and industry-specific solutions for integrating ESG Lake practices into your organization in compliance with industry standards and regulations.
