SAP Responsible Design and Production vs. SAP Sustainability Footprint Management

Scenarios where a company needs to have a lot of visibility and control over the materials it uses for manufacturing, companies that are generators of polluting materials and companies that need to manage different EPRs in different countries. It is perhaps less useful for smaller companies whose sector is not related or involved in waste management and who do not have much volume or presence abroad. These may be able to cope with a customised development that contains their costs.

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management is well suited for businesses that want to manage and monitor their carbon emission at product level. However, it is not well suited if businesses want to manage and monitor their carbon emissions from site to corporate level. SAP EHSM Environment Management is better suited for the latter; however, it cannot manage and monitor Scope 3 emission without enhancements or being creative with location master data structure. In addition, SAP EHSM Environment Management does not have 'if' scenario capability - which is requested by many businesses
