NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 17, 2024 / SAP:
By Daniel Schmid
For nearly 15 years, SAP has committed to being a sustainability leader both in our operations and through our sustainability product offerings for customers. Industry analysts review and assess the sustainability performance of companies across industries. SAP has recently been assessed by some of the most important analyst firms for both our own sustainability performance and the sustainability solutions we offer customers.
Gartner, an independent analyst firm, recently published a report titled "Sustainability Assessment: SAP." A report from analyst firm IDC earlier this year, "Sustainability Index for Software Providers: SAP", noted SAP performed "exceptionally well." The published IDC report highlights how SAP is leading by example as a sustainable vendor.
It's abundantly clear that businesses need to urgently address sustainability challenges. Companies are adopting new technology solutions to help them manage sustainability across many different dimensions, from environmental issues like energy, water, and waste, to social issues like diversity and human rights, to governance and reporting issues.
Business leaders are looking for the best tools that allow them to quantify, analyze, and act on real-time, accurate, and shareable sustainability data throughout their end-to-end operations. With SAP's ERP-centric solutions, financial and non-financial data can be brought together for holistic decision-making. Business leaders can not only manage their productivity and operating results but connect that information with sustainability-related data to help make climate protection measurable, diversity and inclusion visible, and ethical responsibility transparent.
SAP has a unique role to play in supporting our customers' sustainability efforts. SAP customers produce
Sustainability data in ERP is the foundation for holistic, integrated sustainability management. As the leader in enterprise resource management, SAP has more than 50 years of experience helping businesses across 25 industries optimize resources.

In addition, SAP's broad ecosystem of partners can support customers with industry- and technology-specific consulting and implementation, advancing SAP's "sustainable by design" approach.
SAP leads by example as well, having committed to net-zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2030. We also have been recognized as the leading software firm in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for 15 years and as a leader in environmental transparency and action by CDP, an international organization considered the gold standard of environmental reporting.
