⇨ Businesses need to integrate sustainability as a strategic priority, leveraging technology to optimize operations, reduce costs, and progress towards net-zero emissions.

Sustainability is no longer an optional consideration for companies to attract environmentally conscious consumers. It has become an inevitable part of business operations and companies are striving to adopt sustainable practices as much as possible. Beyond compliance and marketing purposes, sustainability is a driver of competitive advantage, and it ensures long-term growth. However, the lack of visibility over the environmental and social impact of business operations that run on legacy systems makes the implementation of sustainable solutions challenging.
This is where Capgemini’s Green Core with SAP Solutions comes into play. It is a set of solutions built on top of SAP applications that provide greater visibility and control for organizations by measuring the financial, economic, and social impact of their wider value chain. This allows companies to monitor environmental data, social metrics, and other ESG KPIs across the entire value chain. With real-time dashboards and reports, businesses can make data-driven decisions that enhance ESG performance, enhance customer engagement, lower operating costs, and ensure compliance with regulations.
With Green Core, companies can minimize waste and increase recycling efforts, resulting in lower resource consumption, a smaller environmental footprint, and sustained business growth. As an example, Capgemini helped a major beverage company set up carbon tracking for fleet management and outbound logistics. Sustainability KPIs were integrated into the company’s SAP Signavio system and the industry reference model was leveraged to incorporate sustainability tracking in their RISE with SAP system.
With transportation responsible for a significant share of global CO2 emissions, the automotive industry must focus on areas like production efficiency, material sourcing, and vehicle lifecycle management to minimize resource utilization and maximize efficiency. By prioritizing environmental issues, creating comprehensive data-driven value chains, and enabling efficient data exchange, Capgemini is equipping Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to make informed choices on resource utilization and simplify their journey toward net-zero emissions and sustainable mobility.
Through SAP’s reliable technology base and Capgemini’s Green Core, organizations can utilize their SAP systems to drive sustainability efforts. From assessing supplier performance to regulating carbon emissions in outbound logistics, Green Core with SAP Solutions provides a variety of use cases customized to meet specific industry requirements. This allows organizations to optimize operations, reduce expenses, and enhance sustainability efforts.
“I have put acting on climate change at the heart of our Group priorities with a focal point of our ambitious target of net zero by 2030,” said Capgemini’s Chief Executive Officer, Aiman Ezzat.
Businesses must adopt sustainability as a strategic priority rather than a regulatory mandate. Capgemini’s Green Core with SAP Solutions offers a route for companies to address challenges, optimize data for strategic decision-making, and make considerable progress toward a more sustainable future. Companies interested in assessing how ingrained sustainability is in their organization’s enterprise value chain can take Capgemini’s 2-minute assessment.
