Exploring the Foundations for SAP Sustainability Control Tower Integration

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explore how the emission management process integrates with the SAP Sustainability Control Tower and understand its importance in providing holistic sustainability insights.

Integrating SAP EHS Management, Environment Management with SAP Sustainability Control Tower

Integrating SAP EHS Management, environment management with SAP Sustainability Control Tower enables organizations to effectively monitor, report, and manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Here's a high-level overview of how this integration works:

High-level overview for integrating SAP EHS Management, environment management with SAP Sustainability Control Tower.

1. Data Collection in SAP EHS Management, Environment Management

  • Measurement and Recording: Within SAP EHS Management, environment management, organizations collect and record data on various emission sources, such as energy consumption, production processes, and waste management. This data is essential for calculating GHG emissions.

  • Emission Calculations: The system processes the collected data to calculate emissions, converting them into carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) using predefined factors and methodologies.

2. Data Preparation for Integration

  • Approval and Validation: Before integration, ensure that all emission data is approved and validated within SAP EHS Management, environment management. Only approved, non-preliminary data is eligible for transfer to SAP Sustainability Control Tower.

  • Location Assignment: Assign emission data to specific locations, such as plants or sites, with corresponding plant IDs. This assignment is crucial for mapping data accurately in SAP Sustainability Control Tower.

3. Importing Data into SAP Sustainability Control Tower

  • Manage ESG Data Application: In SAP Sustainability Control Tower, use the "Manage ESG Data" application to import emission data from SAP EHS Management, environment management.

  • Data Mapping: During the import process, map the emission data to relevant GHG scopes (Scope 1, Scope 2, Scope 3) and sub-categories based on predefined data classifiers.

  • Business Location Hierarchy: Ensure that the business location hierarchy in SAP Sustainability Control Tower aligns with the location assignments from SAP EHS Management, environment management to maintain data consistency.

4. Data Validation and Publishing in SAP Sustainability Control Tower

  • Validation: After importing, validate the data within SAP Sustainability Control Tower to check for any inconsistencies or errors.

  • Publishing: Once validated, publish the data to make it available for analysis and reporting within SAP Sustainability Control Tower.

5. Analysis and Reporting

  • Emissions Dashboard: Use the "View Emissions Dashboard" in SAP Sustainability Control Tower to analyze the imported GHG emissions data. This dashboard provides insights into emission trends, helping organizations track their sustainability performance.

  • Goal Setting and Monitoring: Set emission reduction targets and monitor progress using SAP Sustainability Control Tower’s tools, facilitating proactive sustainability management.

Summary

By integrating SAP EHS Management, environment management with SAP Sustainability Control Tower, organizations can streamline their emissions data management, ensuring accurate reporting and informed decision-making to achieve sustainability objectives.
