Building a Greener Future

Integrating sustainability into business processes is essential for driving innovation and growth. At SAP, we use ERP-centred approaches and AI to make informed decisions, reduce emissions, and build a greener future through collaboration and technology.

No business is truly sustainable until its business processes are sustainable. By integrating sustainability into their core operations, companies not only protect he environment but also drive innovation and economic growth.

It is crucial for organisations to involve all stakeholders in their sustainability efforts through transparent and environmentally responsible business processes.

Using ERP-centred approaches with integrated sustainability data, everyone has access to reliable information to make informed decisions, fostering a culture of sustainability, encouraging eco-friendly practices, and providing continuous education to align employees, partners, and suppliers. This collective effort amplifies positive impacts across the entire value chain.

At SAP, we have chosen this approach. We adopt an ERP-centred approach, integrating sustainability data from cloud ERP processes, supported by artificial intelligence technology. This enables us to make informed decisions with high-quality, reliable data, creating significant positive impacts on the planet.

Emerging technologies play a fundamental role in our sustainability strategies. By integrating sustainability data into our cloud ERP systems, we can consolidate various types of business data at different levels of granularity.

This flexible yet robust approach facilitates the transition from voluntary to regulated carbon management. With high-quality and reliable data at its core, we transform sustainability challenges into opportunities for innovation and efficiency.

At SAP, we are committed to achieving carbon neutrality by investing in renewable energy for our offices, promoting sustainable mobility among employees, and implementing circular economy practices. We leverage a reliable foundation by reusing our ERP data to ensure accurate tracking and reduction of emissions.

Furthermore, we offer solutions that help our clients monitor and reduce their own carbon footprints using integrated sustainability data.

We are optimistic and are actively contributing solutions. Through collaboration, technology, and determination, we can overcome climate challenges. Together, we are shaping a greener future.
