SAP reports increase in absolute emissions as cloud revenue spikes
Emissions from cloud hyperscalers' power use jumped by 45,500 tonnes, reaching 128,800 tonnes – more than 27% of SAP’s overall carbon footprint.
SAP saw absolute emissions jump by 6.94% in 2023, with much of the increase coming from business travel and cloud hyperscalers' electricity consumption. The company achieved its goal of carbon neutrality through the purchase of carbon offsets, renewable electricity, and energy attribute certificates.
The software firm reported revenue of €31.2 billion last year, including €13.7 billion from cloud services – up 23% from 2022, according to its latest integrated report.
