The carbon footprint tracking feature in SAP Business Suite supports sustainability in product design and logistics by enabling the use of environmentally friendly materials and connecting lifecycle data for eco-conscious decisions. According to SAP, "the Sustainability Control Tower helps track and manage carbon footprints across the product lifecycle, enabling designers to access carbon data to select lower-impact materials during the design phase." This feature "integrates sustainability metrics into product design, allowing companies to choose materials that reduce environmental impact, aligning with circular economy principles." Additionally, it "connects lifecycle data across design, manufacturing, and logistics, providing a unified view of carbon emissions to make informed, eco-conscious decisions." This allows teams to "evaluate trade-offs, optimize logistics routes, and reduce emissions by integrating internal and external data, such as regulatory requirements and climate risk profiles." Options B and D are incorrect, as the feature explicitly incorporates sustainability parameters and extends beyond internal energy consumption to encompass the entire value chain, ensuring holistic sustainability integration.
