A connected evidence workspace helps organizations prepare packaging, sustainability, and CBAM reviews with clearer source context, accountable follow-up, and traceable decisions
10 November 2026 — RTC announces the availability of RTC Suite Environmental and Sustainability Control Tower on SAP Store. The solution brings environmental source data, supplier documentation, calculation inputs, and review decisions into a connected workspace, helping organizations address evidence gaps before those gaps become late-stage reporting questions.
Environmental reporting is not simply a matter of producing a final number. Behind a packaging assessment or sustainability statement are source records, measurement units, organizational boundaries, supplier claims, calculation methods, and decisions about what the available information supports. When those elements are scattered across spreadsheets, email, and business systems, teams can spend significant time reconstructing the basis of a result. RTC Suite Environmental and Sustainability Control Tower is designed to make that basis visible and easier to review.
The solution connects agreed SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP data through scoped integration services. It supports a coordinated approach to sustainability data readiness, packaging compliance evidence, sustainability disclosure preparation, and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) evidence preparation. Customers select editions and implementation scope to match their requirements rather than assuming that every capability or market is included in every deployment.
From disconnected records to a reviewable evidence chain
The central proposition is practical: help teams understand what a result is based on, what is missing, who needs to act, and which version is being reviewed. A shared environmental and sustainability workspace links reported figures with source records, calculations, supplier declarations, certificates, and other supporting documents. Legal entity, country, and reporting period filters keep work aligned with the relevant operating scope.
That approach matters when the same source information supports more than one business question. A supplier certificate may help substantiate a material claim, while the related composition record contributes to a packaging quantity calculation. A sustainability metric may depend on multiple source records and a documented method. By retaining the links among these elements, the solution helps reviewers follow the evidence instead of relying on an isolated spreadsheet total.
Role-based permissions support preparation, review, and approval activities. Audit trails and version history preserve record changes, review decisions, and reporting versions, while structured exports support downstream review. These controls are intended to make handovers more informative and reduce repeated searches for the supporting context.
Start with data readiness, not false confidence
The Foundation Edition: Sustainability Data Readiness supports structured spreadsheet imports, field mapping for SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, and other enterprise resource planning data, and validation checks for required fields, measurement units, and dates. Duplicate detection helps teams identify repeated records before those records distort an assessment.
Measured and estimated values can be classified with their evidence and rationale. Readiness dashboards show completeness and gaps across entities and reporting periods, and remediation tasks help organize corrective work. This is more than a data-loading step: it helps teams distinguish information that is available from information that still needs to be collected or clarified.
A missing value should not silently become a measured zero. Likewise, an incomplete source population should not be presented as a complete assessment. Keeping these distinctions visible helps users focus collection and integration work on the issues that prevent a supported review, rather than creating a polished output that conceals uncertainty.
Bring packaging composition, responsibilities, and evidence together
The Standard Edition: Packaging Compliance addresses the detailed records behind packaging assessments. Its scope includes packaging bills of materials for components, layers, and composition versions, along with weight and recycled-content calculations based on composition data. It also supports classification of producer, importer, and brand-owner responsibilities by market.
The solution keeps packaging, plastic, and recycled-content quantities distinct, helping teams understand what each quantity represents before comparing a declaration with source evidence. Supplier certificates and chain-of-custody records remain linked to material claims and allocations. Reviewers can inspect validity and available evidence capacity rather than treating the existence of a document as proof that every claim is supported.
Separate calculations are available for supported extended producer responsibility fees and plastic taxes. Packaging reconciliation covers declarations, source data, and composition mass changes. Supported reporting records and country outputs address packaging, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, single-use plastics, and deposit return schemes within the agreed scope. These capabilities support preparation and review; the applicable obligations, methods, and production parameters must still be established for the deployment.
Create a stronger basis for sustainability disclosures
The Professional Edition: Sustainability Evidence brings reporting boundaries, source information, and independent review into the same operating process. Teams can define legal entities, reporting periods, and organizational boundaries and map supported European Sustainability Reporting Standards disclosures to data, evidence, and review status.
Department and supplier collection workflows help organize requests for reporting information. Supported sustainability metrics use documented methods and versioned inputs, while evidence-quality controls identify missing documents and incomplete data. Preparation is separated from independent review, and approval or rejection decisions are retained.
Versioned disclosure packages combine calculation results with links to supporting evidence. This gives reviewers a stable basis for understanding what a statement supports and whether it needs additional information or a revised version. The goal is not to replace professional judgment, but to give that judgment clearer inputs and a more traceable decision history.
Coordinate packaging and sustainability at enterprise level
The Enterprise Edition: Sustainability and Packaging Control brings the Packaging Compliance and Sustainability Evidence modules into one plan. Multi-entity and country oversight helps teams inspect reporting status and exceptions across supported markets, while cross-module reconciliation connects packaging records and sustainability evidence through shared controls.
Enterprise capabilities also include comparison of external enterprise resource planning or calculation-engine results with platform records. Structured exchanges and field mapping support connected-system data flows. A test environment and release-management capability allow configuration changes to be validated before planned releases, with enterprise support provided under agreed service levels.
For finance, sustainability, procurement, and technology teams, this provides a common context for resolving differences. The value is not merely seeing another dashboard. It is being able to connect an exception to the source record, supporting document, method, and responsible follow-up needed to move the review forward.
Prepare CBAM evidence without losing the underlying assumptions
The CBAM Reporting Module extends a selected core edition with import scope and threshold monitoring for covered goods, quantities, importers, and reporting periods. It supports embedded-emissions calculations using supported methods and supplier data and connects emissions evidence to suppliers and production installations.
Customs declarations, supplier information, and emissions calculations can be reconciled as part of reporting preparation. Estimates of certificate requirements and supported carbon-price adjustments help teams inspect the basis of an assessment, while traceable evidence packages support declaration review and export.
The module is an add-on requiring one of the four core editions. Core subscription and implementation fees are charged separately. Its role is to support evidence preparation and review within an agreed scope, not to imply automatic regulatory acceptance, universal method coverage, or a guarantee that a particular obligation has been fulfilled.
A connected extension to enterprise workflows
The product’s SAP Store availability makes its scope, editions, and integration positioning easier for customers to evaluate alongside their SAP landscape. Scoped SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP integration connects agreed business records with the environmental evidence workflow. Mapping, source completeness, supported methods, and review responsibilities should be established during implementation so that users understand what each output represents.
Organizations can use the solution to build a more disciplined progression from source intake to readiness checks, evidence review, independent decisions, and reporting packages. The expected operational benefit is less time reconstructing context, earlier visibility of missing information, and a clearer basis for coordinated action. No universal time-saving percentage or regulatory outcome is assumed; benefits depend on the customer’s processes, data quality, and deployed scope.
Availability and next steps
RTC Suite Environmental and Sustainability Control Tower is available on SAP Store. Customers can review the Foundation, Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions, evaluate the CBAM Reporting Module, and discuss their entities, markets, data sources, reporting requirements, and integration needs with RTC.
