SAP’s zero strategy for sustainability

SAP offers an exceptionally comprehensive portfolio of cloud solutions that integrate data and processes to enable a future with zero emissions, zero waste, and zero inequality:  
 

Key SAP sustainability tools to kick off your journey

SAP solutions deliver company-wide functionality as well as industry-specific sustainability features. In this way, they help you drive sustainability at scale by embedding operations, experience, and financial insights into your core business processes. Two key tools that will help you pave the way to a sustainable future, include:

SAP Sustainability Control Tower

The SAP Sustainability Control Tower is an overarching cloud system that integrates sustainability data pulled from SAP and non-SAP systems, with all your business processes. A tool for holistic steering, it allows you to set KPIs, monitor your progress on climate action, circular economy and social responsibility against predefined objectives, adjust objectives and metrics as the situation merits and report in accordance with frameworks like GRI or the upcoming CSRD standards. 

The key benefits of SAP Sustainability Control Tower include:

  • A holistic understanding with performance management of social, environmental and financial indicators
  • Efficient and auditable ESG reporting
  • Actionable insights to help decision-makers act across your organization

SAP Product Footprint Manager

The SAP Product Footprint Manager helps you calculate the footprint of your products (carbon footprint, water usage, etc.) across their entire lifecycle. 

The tool uses data from your SAP S/4HANA system as well as existing business data (from internal as well as external sources) and combines it with environmental factors to quantify the footprints of your products periodically. Your win: detailed information for disclosure as well as for internal product and process optimization.

SAP Responsible Design and Production   

SAP Responsible Design and Production is a cloud-native solution that helps you track your process flows and check compliance with regulations on product packaging and plastics. 

It provides the visibility you need to optimize design in order to reduce waste, lower the costs of downstream reuse and recycling and keep pace with obligations, plastic taxes and corporate commitments.SAP Responsible Design and Production
