SAP has been named a leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for carbon accounting. The company is focusing on integrating emissions data directly into ERP systems through its Green Ledger, applying double-entry accounting principles to carbon to improve auditability and regulatory compliance. This shift aims to move corporate reporting from rough estimates to actual data, which is increasingly critical for compliance with regulations like the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). By treating carbon as a financial variable, companies can better manage the direct financial risks associated with emissions.
