# Sustainability dashboard
<a name="partner_overview"></a>

You can invite partners by using the AWS Supply Chain data lake connectors and by mapping the partner information to Partners or Partner's point-of-contact from Amazon S3 or other ERP systems. Make sure that the partner list or partner point-of-contact does not contain duplicate information and that it is up-to-date before you upload the partner information dataset. You can also manually add and invite partners. For more information on how to upload your data, see [Data lake](data-connections.md).
