- Sustainability is one
of the defining issues of our lifetime.
In the few years since my children were born,
the world has experienced
countless climate-related disasters.
- It's clear we need to take action.
But it's not about what we are doing
to make the world better
by the time our children are grown up;
it's about what we are doing
to make a difference today.
In every conversation I have with business leaders,
sustainability is one of the first topics that comes up.
They feel the urgency from all sides
to not only be profitable but also sustainable.
The intelligence and insights
that technology and data provide are key
to successfully tackling this challenge.
As such, digital transformation
has become a must for every company
but no organization can do it alone.
Together, SAP and BCG
will help organizations gain the transparency they need
for a successful sustainability transformation,
enabling them to achieve net zero
across the entire value chain.
- Combating climate change
is deeply important to me personally
and it is a top priority for BCG.
I firmly believe
that an organization's environmental impact
will soon be as important
to its key stakeholders as its financial performance.
Early movers in sustainability
can experience 10% market premium.
This is an enormous opportunity
for companies around the world.
However, nine out of ten organizations
have not cut their emissions in line with ambitions
or targets over the past five years.
This partnership with SAP will bridge that gap,
allowing our clients to transform
at an unprecedented pace.
- Jointly, we are launching a suite
of dedicated solutions and services.
This integrated offering is part
of SAP Cloud for Sustainable Enterprises,
and supports our customers
with their sustainability transformation journeys.
They will be able to set the right ambitions
and to create actionable paths to zero emissions
or zero waste.
You cannot act upon what you cannot measure.
Our combined approach will provide customers
with the transparency they need
to effectively measure their sustainability impact
across the value chain.
It will enable them to assess the business value
of their sustainability actions,
allowing them to monitor their progress
and steer actions while complying with regulations.
As part of their initial transformation step,
they already can realize up to 40% reduction
in their emissions.
- BCG and SAP make a great team.
Together we'll offer three solutions
to accelerate our clients' sustainability journeys.
Zero emissions, zero waste,
sustainability steering and reporting.
Zero emissions allows a company
to analyze its carbon footprint
in a few weeks based on SAP data
and simulate which abatement initiatives
are the most promising.
Zero waste helps a company assess
and manage the circularity opportunity
in its portfolio and across supply chains.
Holistic steering and reporting
helps implement end-to-end steering
of the enterprise, driven by sustainability metrics.
Our deep desire is to lead change
and create sustainable business value within organizations.
We look forward to empowering our clients
to take action now in supporting the world's path
to net zero by 2050.
