The radiative correction of nonlinear sigma models on supermanifolds that have invertible metrics is investigated. It will be shown that the equation of motion for Riemannian supergravity (nonstandard supergravity) is derived from a consistency condition. This condition can be satisfied in the case of supergroup manifolds. We shall explicitly construct the model following the methods of Braaten, Curtright, and Zachos [E. Braaten, T. L. Curtright, and C. K. Zachos, Nucl. Phys. B 260, 630 (1985)] and of Witten [E. Witten, Commun. Math. Phys. 92, 455 (1984)]. Finally, super-Kac–Moody algebras of these models are derived.
