This approach empowered sustainability and finance teams to collaborate around a shared data foundation – turning carbon performance into a manageable, reportable business dimension.
Carbon and financial accounting get sustainable with SAP Green Ledger
SAP Green Ledger brings financial-grade precision to carbon accounting by embedding CO₂ tracking and reporting capabilities directly into the SAP ERP system. It enables organizations to capture emissions data with the same level of accuracy, traceability, and auditability as financial transactions.
By integrating carbon data into core business processes, SAP Green Ledger ensures that sustainability becomes a standard part of operational and financial decision-making.
This level of integration not only facilitates regulatory compliance, but also establishes a solid foundation for long-term decarbonization strategies, emissions transparency, and internal carbon steering—across functions, geographies, and value chains.
Unlike traditional carbon reporting tools that rely primarily on spend-based averages or periodic manual data collection, the SAP Green Ledger enables transaction-level tracking of actual emissions by embedding carbon data directly into your SAP ERP system.
Yes. SAP Green Ledger is specifically designed to support compliance with leading sustainability and carbon accounting frameworks, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
This embedded approach allows organizations to move beyond static, estimate-based reporting toward real-time, transparent, and regulation-aligned carbon accounting --> a key requirement under CSRD and similar global regulations
The SAP Green Ledger is designed for seamless integration within the SAP ecosystem, enabling end-to-end sustainability data management and reporting. Key integrations include:
SAP S/4HANA: As an embedded capability, the Green Ledger utilizes core transactional and financial data from SAP S/4HANA to enable precise, real-time carbon accounting at the same level of detail as financial reporting.
SAP Sustainability Footprint Management (SFM): The Green Ledger works in tandem with SAP SFM by consuming product- and corporate-level emissions data, enabling a consistent carbon view across operational and financial systems.
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC): For advanced ESG analytics, visualization, and reporting, Green Ledger data can be integrated into SAC dashboards, supporting internal decision-making and external sustainability disclosures.
This tight integration ensures data consistency, regulatory alignment, and actionable insights across sustainability, finance, and operations - empowering companies to embed carbon intelligence into everyday business processes.
BearingPoint provides comprehensive support for the successful implementation of the SAP Green Ledger, combining deep SAP expertise with sustainability and carbon accounting know-how. With our cross-functional teams, we ensure that sustainability is not just implemented as a compliance measure—but embedded as a strategic capability in your organization.
