To combat climate change, organizations worldwide strive to implement sustainable development initiatives. SAP Product Footprint Management is a cloud application running on the SAP Business Technology Platform that calculates the product's carbon footprint.

With SAP PFM, you can integrate sustainability data into business processes and control material movements from the integrated SAP services. Using its best-practice experience in the SAP PFM implementation, LeverX guides system optimization on a case-by-case basis. Assign emission factors to automatically determine the product's carbon footprint and contribute to a zero-waste economy with LeverX!

Key SAP PFM Capabilities

Sustainability is a challenge for the world and, therefore, for every single company. Without a healthy planet, there is no basis for continuity, long-term profit, and growth. One-fifth of the world’s carbon emissions comes from supply chains, which opens an immediate need for action.

SAP PFM can calculate footprints for any stage in the value chain, such as logistics, manufacturing, human resource management, technology development, and procurement. By analyzing the data, this solution can help companies manage their environmental impact.

Data Acquisition

The system collects master data from your operational business processes and SAP business applications, reusing data that is already available and validated. Calculate the footprints for each of your products by using the data of all the emissions that occur within your company and how they contribute to your final products.

Emission Factors Management

SAP PFM imports emission factors from product lifecycle assessment data to calculate footprints at scale across the entire product inventory. For now, data is either retrieved from SAP Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) database or reused from information provided by the LCA database. Ultimately, the plan is to use data provided directly from the suppliers.

Footprint Calculation

Using a pre-configured footprint calculation template, you can define the products to add to the calculation. This pairs each product with its emission factor (both purchased materials and raw materials for production), thus providing an overview of the carbon emission during a product lifecycle. SAP PFM also provides a built-in governmental carbon price calculation for better budgeting and planning.

Footprint Analytics

You can also use the quick filters available as a drop-down list to view the footprint results for a specific state. Each position in the table is based on the status of added semantic colors to individual footprint results to highlight their importance. The calculated footprints are integrated back into the end-to-end processes to visualize the pain points.

Footprint Integration

As the calculated footprints are integrated into the core processes of SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, you can monitor and visualize the KPIs for sustainability improvement. Such a targeted control allows for significant resource savings and increased transparency.

SAP S/4HANA Integration Scenarios

SAP PFM supports the integration with SAP S/4HANA Cloud to import master data and transactional data. The integration is possible via SAP Integration Suite, SAP Process Integration, SAP Cloud Connector, and other SAP Cloud services.

Emission Factors Management

Smart interconnected services contribute to sustainability through digitalization. With the help of SAP Product Footprint Management, an organization can become an industry forerunner in reducing its emissions on the product level.

Footprint Calculation at Scale

SAP PFM reduces the effort and cost of calculating, analyzing, and reporting product footprints. With a simplified calculation method using the pre-configured templates, the solution also frees up internal resources for more value-adding work.
