SAP SE's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, SAP SE reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,932,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 112,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 130,000,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 6,819,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from the use of sold products. SAP has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2030. This includes a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% from a 2023 baseline. Additionally, the company has committed to achieving net-zero emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025. In previous years, SAP's emissions have shown a downward trend, with total emissions decreasing from approximately 793,700,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to about 410,500,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company has also pledged to reduce total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 40% by 2025, using 2016 as a baseline year, which is a critical step towards its long-term goal of an 85% reduction by 2050. SAP's commitment to sustainability is further reinforced by its participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning its targets with the global aim to limit warming to 1.5°C. The company is actively working to implement strategies that will facilitate these reductions, demonstrating a strong commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint.
