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
