SAP Sustainability Footprint Management vs. The Assent Supply Chain Sustainability Platform

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management is an ERP-centric, AI-enabled solution that helps enterprises calculate and manage corporate and product environmental footprints (GHG Scope 1, 2, and 3) at scale. The product replaces spend-based estimates by integrating directly with SAP S/4HANA and non-SAP systems via public APIs, reusing existing operational data to produce granular, auditable footprint calculations. Integration with SAP Sustainability Data Exchange enables collection of primary supplier footprint data, improving Scope 3 accuracy.

The Assent Supply Chain Sustainability Platform helps collect, manage, and report supply chain data to support auditable due diligence across major product and trade compliance regulations, including REACH, PFAS reporting, RoHS, TSCA, Proposition 65, SCIP, UFLPA, responsible minerals/conflict minerals, as well as several ESG-related requirements. Assent leverages supplier, product, and parts data to uncover compliance and sustainability risks and identify new opportunities to enhance growth, efficiency, and value.
