Sustainability is far from a new topic in today’s business world. Companies are increasingly recognizing the urgency of actively addressing environmental performance, social responsibility, and sustainable corporate governance — in short: Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG). Various motivations can drive this engagement, such as regulatory reporting obligations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which mandates large companies in the EU to publish ESG information. Consequently, suppliers to these large enterprises are also coming under pressure, as they are expected to provide relevant ESG data — such as the carbon footprint of a product — for CSRD-compliant reporting.

Regardless of reporting obligations, experts recommend developing a sustainability strategy early on and systematically capturing relevant ESG data. Doing so not only ensures compliance with current requirements but also unlocks business opportunities and potential. For example, strong ESG performance can positively impact risk management and thus reduce capital costs. Moreover, companies acting as suppliers to reporting entities can enhance their attractiveness to potential clients by improving ESG performance and providing well-structured data.

That’s why at BA, we firmly believe:
Transparency in ESG metrics delivers clear value to companies of all sizes — independent of existing reporting requirements.

Our SAP Sustainability Focus Areas Include:

SAP Sustainability Control Tower
The SAP Sustainability Control Tower (SCT) helps you monitor and manage your sustainability strategy. By analyzing and reporting ESG-relevant data, you can take appropriate action and fulfill regulatory requirements. If needed, you can even generate your final ESG report using AI.

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management
With SAP Sustainability Footprint Management (SFM), we enable you to analyze the carbon footprint of your products and your entire company. This solution increases transparency and provides valuable data for ESG reporting. Furthermore, by analyzing the entire value chain, you can identify and realize reduction potentials.

SAP Sustainability Data Exchange
SAP Sustainability Data Exchange (SDX) enables the exchange of sustainability data across your entire supply chain. Exchange carbon footprint data with your suppliers and customers via standardized formats and benefit from centralized management through SDX.
