SAP Sustainability

What Is Sustainability?

Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the future of generations to meet their own needs.

It is inclusive of not only natural resources but also social and economic resources. Sustainability is all about the slight changes we can each make to look after our planet, like working toward zero emissions, zero waste, and zero inequality.

What Is SAP Sustainability?

Four areas of SAP solutions for sustainability are:

1. Sustainability and ESG Reporting: Add environmental, social, and governance (ESG) to finance real-time data reporting.
2. Climate Change: Reduce carbon footprint and minimize greenhouse gas emissions with embedded analytics.
3. Circular Economy: Design products with sustainability, eliminate waste, and build a sustainable supply chain.
4. Social Responsibility: Integrate ethical and social responsibility into sustainable business practices.

The importance of sustainability is to improve environmental quality. The goal is to improve our existence without depleting natural resources for the future and improve the quality of our lives. But from a business perspective it adds brand value, meets consumer demands, increases efficiency, and creates new opportunities.
