Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SAP Sustainability Control Tower (SCT) to generate customer-facing dashboards that organize all underlying emissions and "sustainability-related" in an easy to understand format. While the tool works well to get core emissions data such as fleet and transportation, procurement and production emissions, it lacks data from certain industries such as energy, this is our biggest concern with SAP Sustainability Control Tower right now, the availability of industry-specific content.

Pros

  • Easy to understand dashboards
  • Seamless connection to underlying data
  • Preconfigured content (for basic cases)

Cons

  • More Industry-specific content
  • No advanced scenario simulation capabilities
  • Easier connection with third-party data

Return on Investment

  • Ability to better understand where emissions are coming from
  • Presents the data in an easy to understand way despite the complexities of the underlying data set
