EU has in their Non-Financial Reporting Dirictive (NFRD) proposed that all large companies in EU has to report on their sustainability i.e. CO2 emmission.

As a manufacturer Calculating CO2 emmision pr. unit is rather difficult - Dynamics 365 Business Central could make this very easy.

If Business Central had:

• A cell on the "item card" equal to e.g. EUR/KG but with CO2/kg or piece
• An extra collum in the Parts list
• And that the CO2 for a produced item is shown then on the calculation - per unit
• It migth be that there has to be a possibility to enter an average corporate/department CO2 for all non material emmision

Then each sub-supplier or B-to-C manufacturer would be able to calculate the CO2 emmision per unit as eassily as calculating a price per unit - which in term would help the companies who has to follow the NFRD.

Guess it would take a BC programmer less than an hour to do this and that it would have a huge impact on our way forward in reducing our CO2 emmission.

I would also make it possible to e.g. foodstuf manufacturer to write on consumer packaging the CO2/100g and give consumer at more informed choice.

Hope you will take up the challenge for BC to be first mover on an extremly important topic.

I should be interested to understand your take on the above idea.
