Disclaimer: This blog post reflects the state of the SAP Sustainability Control Tower (SCT) as of July 25th, 2025.
SAP Sustainability Control Tower (SCT) supports customers on ESG reporting. Therefore, SCT enhances the coverage of metrics provided which are in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
This blog-post provides an overview of metrics which are planned or newly released and gets updated regularly. Please note that the names of planned metrics may be subject to change. For the full list of available metrics in SCT, please visit Metrics | SAP Help Portal
Released Metrics (as of July 25th 2025)
In some cases metrics are marked as “(documentation only)”. That means those datapoints are not part of the scope of standard metrics delivered by SAP and therefore documentation is provided in the help portal. This is the case if e.g. for quantitative metrics a customer specific breakdown is requested or for qualitative metrics, in case datapoints are already covered in other datapoints.
