• SAP will neutralize residual emissions with 37,000 tons of high-quality carbon removals through 2034.
• SAP and Climeworks are co-creating ERP-integrated carbon management tools to help enterprises manage decarbonization at scale.
• Climeworks adopts SAP S/4HANA to scale operations, boost compliance, and support future growth in carbon removal.

SAP has entered a strategic partnership with carbon removal pioneer Climeworks to secure 37,000 tons of high-integrity carbon removal credits by 2034. The agreement supports SAP’s net-zero commitments and embeds carbon drawdown into its long-term decarbonization strategy using Direct Air Capture, Biochar, and Enhanced Rock Weathering.

“Investing in quality carbon removals addresses emissions we can’t eliminate directly,” said Sophia Mendelsohn, SAP’s Chief Sustainability & Commercial Officer. “Our Climeworks partnership secures high-integrity capacity at preferred rates while protecting against price volatility.”

The alliance reflects SAP’s adherence to the Science-Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) Corporate Net-Zero Standard and bolsters its ability to support partners in a low-carbon transition. Beyond offsetting residual emissions, the collaboration will enable innovation in carbon management software solutions.

The companies are co-creating ERP-centric tools using the SAP Sustainability Control Tower and SAP Store, providing enterprises with integrated capabilities to track, manage, and mitigate emissions across value chains.

“Climeworks and SAP share the belief that sustainability is a core element of business strategy,” said Christoph Gebald, co-founder and co-CEO of Climeworks. “We’re embedding carbon removal into enterprise technology, making it easily actionable for businesses worldwide.”

Climeworks is also scaling its internal operations through SAP, having implemented SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and SAP LeanIX under the GROW with SAP program. These tools enhance compliance, operational efficiency, and real-time financial oversight—critical for the expanding carbon removal industry.

“Implementing SAP was the right step. It ensures compliance, supports our focus on profitability, and allows real-time financial data management,” Gebald added.
