1 Due to rounding, the sum of the numbers presented in the table might not precisely equal the totals we provide.
2 In 2022, we changed the composition of included KPIs. We excluded electricity consumed by hyperscale services (indirect energy of our value chain, Scope 3) due to the (still) very limited control over the energy / electricity procurement of our value chain partners. In addition, we moved electricity consumption of co-location data centers from Scope 3 to Scope 2 due to the underlying leasing model and SAP’s operational control over the IT infrastructure.
3 Starting 2024, we disaggregate "Energy from Non-Renewable Sources" into "Energy from Fossil Sources" and "Energy from Nuclear Sources" in alignment with ESRS requirements.
4 Refers to the consumption of (1) self-generated renewable energy (produced on-site), (2) the procurement of high-quality EACs, and starting 2025, (3) the procurement of biomethane (biogas) certificates. For further disaggregation please refer to the table: “Disaggregation of renewable energy sources”.
5 This includes gas and oil heating systems in office buildings (owned and leased) as well as the combustion of diesel in generators and gas in co-generation units / Combined heat and power (CHP) systems. In our CHP system in Walldorf, we also use wood pellets as a renewable source to generate heat.
6 In 2025, emissions generated by our colocation data centers were reclassified from Scope 1 and 2 to Scope 3.8 (Upstream Leased Assets) in line with the GHG Protocol’s operational control principle. SAP does not control the facility’s refrigerant management, energy procurement, metering, or the underlying infrastructure contracts. Reporting these emissions in Scope 3.8 ensures accurate attribution, prevents double counting with the operator’s Scope 2, and aligns our reporting boundaries with the GHG Protocol’s operational control guidance.
