Issue
Long term solution post RFI implementation. Sustainability Control Towers vs non-SAP.
Recommendation
Background & Context
RFI on ESG Disclosure and Performance was launched in 2024 to consolidate all Sustainability data in one place, create reporting layer and insights layer on top. The RFI is aiming at a one to two year contract, which is to be revisited with ERP Rebuild. Demos have been presented by SAP in 2024 to the business together with PWC. RFI supported by KPMG experience with other clients and finalised in July 2024 based on 2.5 weeks response time for providers to answer by mid June 2024. Potential providers were SAP, Gensuite, Salesforce, Microsoft (new partner AI), Simapro provider Sphera. Pure players: https://watershed.com/en-GB, https://www.cority.com/, https://figbytes.com/company/about/, Watershed.com. June/July 2023 Go-No Go decision.
SAP Sustainability Control Towers (SCT)
Launch of 2024 RFI on ESG Disclosure and Performance was extended to SAP. 2024 RFI response by SAP not satisfactory with off the shelf slide pack containing access issues to links. SAP Sustainability Control Towers (SCT) currently not mature enough, but could be revisited in three years. Scope, AI and insights not good enough.
ESG data, elements on basic reporting using tools creating KPI library. This should be covered by SAP. Enhancement of this data SAP lacks, reporting layer e.g. KPIs, emission factors e.g. ecoinvent, ecotransit. For example carbon accounting.
Pureplayers look into public data where plant data is missing, to make assumptions where there is gaps. Other functionality, AI native pureplayer is integrated benchmark. Competitors in tool for KPIs in market based on public information. SAP solution does not cover this. No company in manufacturing uses the Sustainability Control Towers.
Roadmap?
Gensuite
Gensuite one option as has synergies with reporting. Target state data capture and clean up close to source. May mean moving away from Gensuite to where data ownership, modelling is more frequent. Gensuite is not the right fit, Syensqo leaning possibly more towards Microsoft. Pilot in autumn to test automation of env metric, modelisation for data cleaning and then consume clean data on corporate level.
Greenomy
Shortlist of two in 2024 RFI. Favourite Greenomy as short term solution, plug and play, so not overspend. Recommendation given, waiting for decision.
PAPM (SAP) currently used for tax purposes by Finance in scope of ERP Rebuild to deal with complex reporting requirements. Might be an option to cover circularity for Sustainability. SPM may not be the way forward as missing master data. Additional option?
