Discovering SAP Sustainability Control Tower Content

Once you configure data such as metrics and dimensions, you can record or add actual and target data from other SAP systems or files. You do this through the Manage ESG Data application.

The Manage ESG Data application offers ways to efficiently manage your ESG data. It enables you to import ESG data from files or SAP systems, validate the data, and fix any issues. You can also download error logs to help with data management. The app simplifies the process of handling ESG data effectively.

Overall, the flow involves systematic importing, correction, validation, and publishing steps designed to efficiently manage and analyze ESG data within the application. These steps collectively enhance the reliability and usability of the data for corporate governance and sustainability efforts.

When you want to use actual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as CO2 equivalents from your compliance scenario’s data collections, calculations, and locations aggregations, you can import GHG emissions data from SAP EHS Management, environment management.

You can assign these emissions to GHG scopes, sub categories, scope 2 accounting methods, and activity types. You can also allocate the emissions to plants in the business location hierarchy.

Further, you can use the Emissions Dashboard to analyze your GHG data and track your goals using the My Ambitions app, which is shown later in this learning journey.

Before you can import data from the SAP EHS Management, environment management, you must integrate the SAP EHS Management, environment management with SAP Sustainability Control Tower. The following figure shows, end-to-end, the SAP EHS Management, environment management’s integration with SAP Sustainability Control Tower.

When managing GHG data, the first step is to collect measured data from various sources in the SAP EHS Management, environment management. Next, calculate and validate the data to ensure accuracy and reliability. Once validated, a report is generated to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The compliant SAP EHS data is then imported into SAP Sustainability Control Tower for further analysis and action. The SAP EHS data is validated once more and submitted to the central system for a final review. Finally, the data is analyzed to generate actionable insights, allowing informed actions for reducing emissions.

You can use the Manage ESG Data app to transfer your emission data from the activities that you record in SAP EHS Management, environment management, to SAP Sustainability Control Tower for use in your company's greenhouse gas (GHG) recording.

Once imported, you can use the associated emission data with the sustainability metrics for GHG emissions across SAP Sustainability Control Tower to view and analyze the emission data in the View Emission Dashboard app. You can choose to import yearly, monthly, or quarterly data based on the time period you choose in SAP EHS Management, environment management. If data is aggregated on a monthly basis in SAP EHS Management, environment management, then you can import it by months.

The import uses your SAP S/4HANA configuration for data replication to import calculation results, data collections, and location aggregations using CDS views. You can import data only for the given time period. You can transform the replicated data and store it into the emissions DPI.

There are certain restrictions when importing data.

1. The system only imports data for the listed substance, carbon-dioxide equivalent, measured in metric tons.
2. SAP EHS Management supports a subset of the available GHG data classifiers.
3. The system only imports approved, non-preliminary data.
4. You must assign the data to locations of type Site or Plant. These locations require a PlantID, which serves as the identifier for the business location hierarchy of the imported data. You must maintain your SAP Sustainability Control Tower business location hierarchy with the required plants.
