SAP has a team of innovation services and solutions professionals, focused on helping companies embrace the disruption and transformation happening within businesses, as they start to use intelligent technologies, to track carbon emissions from their upstream supply chains to downstream logistics.
SAP also aims to be a role model for its customers, by committing to make its own operations carbon neutral by 2025 - including all direct emissions as well as, a select subset of indirect emissions from its supply chain services.When emissions can’t be avoided or reduced, SAP has pledged to compensate by investing in CO2 offsets.
“As businesses, we must all own up to the total GHG emissions our activities generate and, at the same time, invest in nature-based solutions to protect our world’s critical forests and biodiversity, simultaneously helping to mitigate climate change,” commented Marco Bizzarri, Gucci President and CEO. “I applaud SAP’s commitment to join the CEO Carbon Neutral Challenge. The leadership they are showing by doing so will help create a future in which society can thrive and business can succeed, while nature is restored and protected.”
