SAP Delivers Innovations That Tackle Supply Chain and Industry Challenges, Embedding Sustainability for the Post-Pandemic Era
As companies all over the world face unprecedented
challenges, they are turning to technologies that provide
reliable insights to help them better support their
employees, customers and suppliers. Stepping up to fulfill
these needs, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) is innovating with more
than just technology and software.
SAP is helping companies improve supply chain and
industry-specific processes, connect through the business
network and embed sustainability as a critical measure of
business success. The announcement was made at the
SAPPHIRE NOW Converge conference, held online June 15–19, 2020.
“In uncertain times, companies need a trusted partner to
help them make confident decisions to enhance agility and
resiliency during and beyond the current COVID-19 crisis,”
said Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of
SAP SE for SAP Product Engineering. “In today’s
hyperconnected world, it’s even more important for
businesses to quickly react to environmental and market
changes. We’re helping to address these challenges with
new ways for customers to address sustainability, lead in
their industry and grow their business networks. SAP has
the strategy, expertise, solutions and partner ecosystem to
enable customers to run their business as an intelligent enterprise.”
Climate 21
SAP announced the Climate 21 program to support
customers in pursuing their climate-related objectives. In a
multiyear road map, SAP will work with co-innovation
partners to embed sustainability metrics across SAP’s
solution portfolio. This will help customers understand,
analyze and optimize the carbon footprint of their products
and operations along the value chain.
The SAP Product Carbon Footprint Analytics application is
now available as the first solution in the Climate 21
program. The application uses data from SAP S/4HANA and
third-party sources and calculates this information within
the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. This helps customers
understand their carbon footprint and provides a
foundation for analyzing and optimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

processes, from design to operations. With embedded
