SAP Sustainability Control Tower (SCT) is a comprehensive, cloud-based platform that helps businesses monitor, manage, and optimize their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in real time. It acts as a centralized hub for sustainability data, allowing organizations to comply with regulations, reduce carbon footprints, and drive sustainable growth.

Why SAP Sustainability Control Tower?

Businesses today face three major sustainability challenges: 1 Fragmented Data & Manual Processes Sustainability data is scattered across multiple systems, making reporting inefficient and error-prone. 2 Regulatory Compliance Complexity New global regulations require comprehensive sustainability disclosures, increasing compliance pressure. 3 Lack of Actionable Insights Organizations struggle to turn sustainability data into business impact, missing opportunities to drive real change.

Unleash your business data like never before.

Today’s businesses rely on data more than ever to acquire and maintain a competitive edge in the market. But the technology landscape has grown more and more complex, making it harder to get the value out of the business data. When data is spread across different sources and technologies, it becomes a real challenge to bring it all together and deliver semantically rich business data that retains the business context of the source.

Closing this data divide requires holistic integration between data platforms and business applications, with data made available in a harmonized business data model. AI and machine learning add another dimension, where data not only provides insights but also enables predictions.

SAP Business Data Cloud is here to help.

The SAP Business Data Cloud solution enables this level of integration—giving your business leaders the context and insights that can help them make actionable decisions quickly. The managed software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution leverages semantically rich data from key business processes within your essential applications. It also automates critical decisions in areas such as working capital management, sales and distribution, and people analytics.

SAP Business Data Cloud is at the core of your business.
