In an era where sustainability is not just a goal but a mandate, enterprises are under increasing pressure to monitor, manage, and report their environmental impact transparently. Carbon emissions and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting are no longer optional metrics — they are strategic priorities.
But while organizations have robust financial ledgers for economic transactions, very few have reliable systems to account for carbon emissions and environmental impact.
SAP Green Ledger is redefining the sustainability landscape.
SAP Green Ledger is SAP’s newest innovation aimed at helping organizations integrate carbon accounting directly into their core business processes. It enables real-time tracking, allocation, and reporting of carbon footprints, mirroring the structure and precision of traditional financial ledgers.
Unlike legacy systems that treat environmental metrics as peripheral, SAP Green Ledger embeds carbon tracking directly into financial operations — making emissions measurable, verifiable, and centrally managed.
It turns carbon into a business-critical metric — traceable like money, accountable like inventory.
With SAP Green Ledger, Splisys helps you measure and manage CO₂e as accurately as your finances.
Industries across the globe — from Oil & Gas, Mining, and Utilities to Retail and Manufacturing — are being driven by:
According to the World Economic Forum, 86% of CEOs agree that sustainability should be embedded into their operations, yet only 35% have visibility into their environmental data.
The gap is not in the intent — it’s in the systems and data visibility.
SAP Green Ledger functions as a sub-ledger within SAP S/4HANA — built to capture and trace carbon emissions data across multiple business units and geographies.
Here’s how it adds value:
Solutions like SAP Sustainability Footprint Management and SAP Product Footprint Management allow organizations to uncover and analyze emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 — powered by embedded analytics and forecasting capabilities.
As enterprises across industries face increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals and ESG compliance, the transition to carbon-intelligent operations has never been more critical. This is where Splisys brings deep, industry-specific expertise and strategic SAP modernization capabilities to the table.

Let’s explore how industries are already seeing tangible benefits with SAP Green Ledger:
Oil & Gas companies often deal with multiple upstream and downstream processes. SAP Green Ledger offers carbon traceability across drilling, extraction, refining, and logistics.
Result: One energy giant reduced its Scope 3 emissions reporting error rate by 60% and improved ESG audit readiness by 45%.
Heavy manufacturing sectors can now allocate emissions per production unit. This helps in eco-design and supplier selection.
Result: A global auto parts supplier restructured its procurement process and reduced its CO₂ emissions by 18% annually.
Retailers can allocate carbon footprints to individual SKUs and adjust sourcing strategies accordingly.
Result: A European fashion brand eliminated 23% of its high-emission vendors and aligned 75% of its supply chain with sustainable practices.
Utility providers can assign emissions to grids, facilities, and customer categories.
Result: A large electricity board in Southeast Asia leveraged SAP Green Ledger to build its carbon-neutral roadmap 2 years ahead of schedule.
At Splisys, we go beyond implementation. We help you connect sustainability with strategy, ensuring that green accounting becomes a driver of profitability, compliance, and brand trust.
We specialize in complex industries — Oil & Gas, Mining, Retail, and Manufacturing — and help enterprises:
Carbon emissions have real financial implications — from carbon taxes and regulatory fines to investor defunding of non-compliant operations. Embedding carbon as a ledger isn’t just smart — it’s necessary for future-proofing your business.
SAP Green Ledger gives enterprises the structure to treat environmental impact with the same discipline as financial management.
What is SAP Green Ledger and how is it different from other ESG tools?
SAP Green Ledger is a real-time carbon accounting sub-ledger within SAP S/4HANA. Unlike external ESG tools that offer reporting after the fact, the Green Ledger captures and records carbon emissions in real time at the transactional level.
Can SAP Green Ledger handle Scope 3 emissions?
Yes. SAP’s Product Footprint Management module enables tracking of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by integrating with upstream and downstream partners across your value chain.
How do I prepare my enterprise for SAP Green Ledger adoption?
Start by conducting a carbon baseline audit, assess your existing SAP landscape, and engage a partner like Splisys to create a phased roadmap for implementation.
What industries benefit the most from SAP Green Ledger?
Sectors like Oil & Gas, Mining, Retail, and Manufacturing — known for intricate logistics and high carbon footprints — experience the greatest measurable value when leveraging SAP Green Ledger.
Is SAP Green Ledger only for large enterprises?
While originally designed for large enterprises, SAP is expanding its sustainability suite to support mid-sized businesses as well. A phased, modular approach can make the adoption cost-effective even for smaller organizations.
