As global regulations regarding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards become more stringent, organizations must move beyond manual reporting to automated sustainability management. SAP Sustainability Control Tower, which runs on SAP BTP, is designed specifically for this purpose. It helps organizations manage sustainability risks and compliance by providing a centralized "control center" that collects and processes ESG data from across the enterprise and its supply chain.

The tool leverages the data management and analytics capabilities of BTP (specifically SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud) to provide a transparent view of a company’s sustainability performance against its targets. It allows for the integration of non-financial data—such as carbon emissions, water usage, and labor statistics—with traditional financial data from the SAP Business Suite. This positioning is vital because it enables "holistic steering," where sustainability is treated with the same rigor as financial profitability. By using SAP Sustainability Control Tower on BTP, businesses can ensure they are meeting legal compliance requirements while also building trust with investors and customers through verified, data-driven sustainability disclosures.
