Towards Net Zero with Webdashboard for Sustainability Power BI Sharing
As businesses and organizations increasingly focus on sustainable practices, data-driven insights are essential to track and improve their environmental impact. Transport, logistics, retail, manufacturing – all industries are dealing with or have to face facts. For some industries, it is (becoming) mandatory to monitor and report for example CO2 emissions. Terms like ‘Net-zero’, ‘CSRD’ (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) & ‘ESG’ (Environmental, Social & Governance), are becoming increasingly hot topics and higher on the agenda.
Companies already face challenges gathering data in general, let alone on things like emissions, resource usage, and waste reduction efforts. Power BI can transform this data into insightful visualizations. But effective sharing with stakeholders, partners, and regulatory bodies remains a challenge. Complex Power BI licensing, expensive costs and difficulties managing access are just a few hurdles to overcome.
Webdashboard provides a solution for managing, sharing, and branding Power BI reports, making it easy for organizations focused on sustainability to communicate data on and with impact. Let’s look at how Webdashboard can help companies take their sustainability initiatives further with safe Power BI sharing. How this can enhance transparency and accountability.
Managing Power BI Reports with Webdashboard
Sustainability reporting requires the integration of diverse data sources, including energy consumption, carbon emissions, and waste production. Using Webdashboard to manage Power BI reports simplifies this by creating a centralized space for all environmental metrics. Webdashboard’s license flexibility makes it easy to add or remove users as sustainability initiatives evolve, without requiring a separate Power BI license for each participant. Licenses can be scaled up or down and users can be removed or added flexibly.
Organize reports into Workspaces and Groups for specific departments, regions or partners, and use row-level security (RLS) to show tailored views to different stakeholders. Sustainability coordinators can ensure that each report shows relevant data based on the viewer’s role, such as separate dashboards for executive summaries and detailed operational insights.
Sharing Power BI Reports Beyond Boundaries
Sharing sustainability data with external stakeholders is critical for demonstrating a commitment to transparency and meeting compliance standards. With Webdashboard, organizations can easily, yet still safely share Power BI reports beyond organizational boundaries. This gives partners, suppliers, and regulatory bodies real-time access to sustainability metrics.
For example, a company might share carbon footprint reports with supply chain partners, encouraging collective efforts to reduce emissions. With the mobile app, stakeholders can access sustainability metrics on-the-go, while scheduled refreshes keep everyone informed with the latest data. Webdashboard makes it easy to securely share insights across geographical and organizational boundaries. Collaboration brings forth change, and that’s what we need to help our climate.
Branding for a Professional, Trustworthy Experience
Besides collaboration, sustainability is also about transparancy and trust. Presenting data professionally fosters trust. With Webdashboard, companies can brand their Power BI reporting environment, adding logos, colors, and custom URLs that reinforce their corporate identity. This strengthens credibility and shows stakeholders that sustainability is taken seriously.
Webdashboard’s customizable interface allows you to make sustainability reports visually appealing, presenting data as part of your brand’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
