As regulatory requirements for sustainability reporting expand globally, SAP has embedded sustainability capabilities across its ERP and analytics products. SAPinsider covers SAP sustainability tools and trends, including ESG reporting, carbon tracking and supply chain transparency.
What is SAP Sustainability?
SAP Sustainability refers to the set of SAP solutions and capabilities that help organizations measure, manage and report on their environmental and social impact. Key products include SAP Sustainability Control Tower for carbon tracking, SAP Sustainability Footprint Management for product-level emissions data and SAP Responsible Design and Production for lifecycle reporting. These tools connect to SAP S/4HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud to enable integrated sustainability reporting alongside core financial and operational data.

- Supply chain transparency: SAP Business Network for sustainability connects organizations with suppliers to collect and verify emissions and responsible sourcing data throughout the supply chain.
