In this release, Microsoft Sustainability Manager has more tools to track and report on emissions related to scope 3 category 11: Uuse of sold products. This category includes emissions that result from the use of a company's sold products.
This feature includes the following key components:

- Ingestion: Our system now has improved ingestion capabilities for this category, making it easier for you to enter activity data and calculate emissions. You can still enter pre-calculated emissions if you prefer.

This feature makes it easier for you to report on emissions and ensure accurate data.
- Reporting: This feature will make it easier for sustainability managers to track and report on emissions from consumer use of sold products.
