Many sustainability regulations, such as EU CSRD, IFRS SI, and S2 require companies to report auditable corporate carbon footprints (CCF) for scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions along with reduction plans. SAP Sustainability Control Tower helps companies calculate and report CCFs and other ESG metrics in one streamlined solution.

Start by identifying your requirements. Are you subject to regulations, like the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (EU CSRD)? Are you aiming for transparency through voluntary disclosure to your customers through initiatives such as SBTi or CDP? Or do you need to decarbonize? Consider the challenges you face in managing carbon data (for example, siloed data, collection issues, transparency, and accuracy). For personalized guidance on overcoming these challenges, accelerating decarbonization, and reducing carbon-related costs, request a meeting to explore SAP’s modular, AI-enabled sustainability solutions.
