Differentiating SAP Sustainability in the Market

SAP has been the technology leader in optimizing constrained resources for over 50 years - whether it is money, materials, human capital, and now carbon, or plastics.

As SAP touches 77% of financial transactions, drive 89% of the world’s commerce, and 88% of the worlds supply chains, the chances are that the financial and non-financial data and the business processes that customers need to begin their sustainability transformation sit or can be easily integrated from and into an SAP system.

First, SAP has consolidated it's extensive range of sustainability solutions under a integrated, modular portfolio of SaaS solutions. This helps customers choose the best options that are relevant to their business function and transformation step, simplifying the consumption of new and existing offerings.

Second, SAP's solutions in Finance (SAP S/4HANA), Supply Chain, Procurement and HR are all enabled with sustainability features, providing transparency into live or actual sustainability data instead of working with averages and spreadsheets. These insights help functional leaders seamlessly make sustainability oriented changes directly into their core, mission critical, and differentiating business processes.

Third, SAP recognizes that each industry views sustainability differently. Therefore, SAP brings together industry-specific business networks and ecosystems to create data exchanges, share best practices, provide forward-looking frameworks, and create industry-relevant content.
