SAP Sustainability Data Exchange

- Where SDX likely provides value: - Automotive supply chains under Catena-X requirements: Catena-X emphasizes interoperable, certified solutions and multi-tier data exchange; SDX is presented as aligned for that sustainability use case. - SAP-native enterprises: SDX is integrated with SAP landscape patterns for replication and integration with SAP Sustainability Footprint Management. - Where alternatives may be preferable: - If the primary need is ESG disclosure and report authoring, tools with specialized disclosure workflows may be more central and SDX may serve as a data source. - If the primary need is packaged carbon accounting and decarbonization planning with specific methodologies and UX, specialist carbon platforms may be more direct. - If the organization requires broader workflow integration on a CRM backbone, a solution on that CRM platform may reduce integration overhead. - Market adoption signals: - The most concrete third-party market signal found in this research is a very limited presence in public review channels, implying SDX is early in broad-market visibility.
