SAP's market-based emissions fell about 9% from 2023 to 2025, to 6.3 MtCO2e, against a target to cut them 90% by 2030. Its electricity is covered as renewable mainly through certificates, and it publishes no biodiversity disclosure. Its upstream oil and gas software, developed with BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Equinor and Shell, counts against it.
