As organizations across the globe work to address the growing climate crisis, it is essential for them to implement effective strategies aimed at minimizing their carbon footprints. Without measuring carbon emissions, companies cannot fully assess their risk exposure and ensure regulatory compliance. This lack of awareness can lead to serious repercussions, such as financial penalties, harm to their reputation, and lost market share. Additionally, consumers are increasingly inclined to support businesses that demonstrate environmental responsibility. Neglecting to track and reduce carbon emissions could result in losing customers who value sustainability.

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

Please note: SAP Sustainability Footprint Management replaces SAP Product Footprint Management (SAP PFM), which was focused solely on product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations without taking corporate footprint into account. SAP SFM is the next step in the evolution of SAP PFM, encompassing both product and corporate scenarios and handling more complicated sustainability calculations and analytics.

Key SAP SFM Features

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management (SFM) offers a cloud-based solution to calculate and manage carbon footprints across corporate, value chain, and product levels, enabling accurate GHG emissions reporting. It has evolved from product-level calculations to encompass the entire value chain and corporate footprints. By analyzing emissions from products, facilities, and transportation, SFM helps companies pinpoint areas for improvement and effectively manage their environmental impact.

Calculating corporate and product footprints

Comprehensive carbon footprint assessment enables you to calculate corporate emissions across all GHG-Protocol categories and product emissions throughout the entire lifecycle, including materials, transportation, and production.

Integration for precise calculations

Combine SAP S/4HANA, supplier, third-party, and facility energy data for highly accurate and granular footprint calculations.

ERP-driven decarbonization

Embed footprint results into essential business processes to promote sustainable decision-making through comprehensive carbon management.

FAQ

What is SAP Sustainability Footprint Management?

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management is an ERP-centric cloud solution that calculates product carbon footprint (PCF) and corporate carbon footprint (CCF). Unlike SAP Product Footprint Management (SAP PFM), a previous sustainability solution by SAP that was able to calculate only product carbon footprint, SAP SFM offers better sustainability management functionality and is designed for more complicated processes.

How does SAP Sustainability Footprint Management calculate carbon footprints?

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management uses life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies to calculate product and corporate carbon footprints, considering factors like raw material sourcing, production processes, transportation, and disposal, as well as all the company’s direct or indirect activities for a specific calendar period.

Can SAP Sustainability Footprint Management be integrated with other SAP solutions?

Yes, SAP Sustainability Footprint Management integrates with solutions like SAP EHS and SAP Supply Chain Management to track and manage the environmental footprint of products and the company’s activities.

Does SAP Sustainability Footprint Management support sustainability reporting?

Yes, SAP Sustainability Footprint Management includes tools for reporting sustainability metrics, helping businesses comply with regulatory requirements, and sharing environmental impact data with stakeholders.
