As sustainability reporting standards evolve, accounting and finance students must be prepared to apply ESG concepts in enterprise systems and decision‑making. This study introduces an experiential design integrating the ERPsim Logistics Sustainability Game with an adapted EYARC “Solar Energy” case in a Managerial Accounting course to strengthen understanding of sustainability in logistics, supply chains, and financial reporting. Grounded in experiential learning theory, the design enables students to use managerial accounting tools while making real‑time decisions in a live SAP ERP environment. Post‑simulation survey results show improved ESG comprehension, higher engagement, and strong support for integrating sustainability into ERP‑focused curricula.
