Reading time: 2 mins

Environmental consciousness is integral to today’s business operations. Companies are increasingly required to adhere to non-financial reporting regulations, requiring them to disclose sustainability metrics and necessitating a deep understanding of various sustainability-related data, including a product’s carbon footprint. SAP Sustainability Footprint Management (SFM) provides a comprehensive solution to manage and control the carbon footprint across a product’s entire lifecycle.

The Offering: SAP Sustainability Footprint Management

SFM measures and controls the carbon footprint of products from their inception to their ends to deliver critical insights for strategic decision-making regarding product portfolios, investments, and procurement strategies. It facilitates a shift from focusing solely on resource efficiency to embracing a more comprehensive, eco-efficient approach, making it a pivotal tool for transparent communication with various stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees, and regulatory bodies.

Benefits of Implementing SAP Sustainability Footprint Management

With the integration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP S/4HANA and the ability to connect external data sources via API, SFM streamlines the data collection process, accommodating data from diverse sources, systems, and formats.
