End-to-End CO2 Reporting with Fabric
By Jordy Sels and Maria Lysenko
This presentation delves into leveraging Microsoft Fabric for ESG reporting, with a focus on CO2 emissions. It examines both the advantages and disadvantages of Fabric, demonstrated through a dummy dataset. Key highlights include data transformations from the silver to gold layer using built-in Jupyter notebooks to create processes that are auditor-friendly for external ESG reviews. The session also addresses the limitations of Copilot in generating visuals, underlining the need for a design sprint approach to ensure effective and impactful reporting solutions.

Microsoft Fabric: Architecture, Implementation, and Future Standards
By Ian Smith and Gijs Dekkers
In the session we'll explore the architecture that powered our solution, the programming languages leveraged for development, and the innovative standards we established to guide future implementations. This session is ideal for data professionals, architects, and developers aiming to understand the practical deployment of Microsoft Fabric. This session showcases examples from real implementation's done for multiple customers.
