Use ERP modernisation to drive efficiency and sustainability
Summary
Sustainability has become so strategic that even major financial investors, such as BlackRock, have declared that climate change will be the focal point of their entire investment strategy. This will generate a whole range of new embedded business process key performance indicators (KPIs), for example greenhouse gas emissions per site, per product or per unit of revenue. At its 2020 Sapphire user conference, CEO Christian Klein announced a Climate 21 strategy, in which SAP will help its customers to address sustainability and to gradually build this green line into S/4 Hana, its strategic ERP solution. • None In this Q&A, IFS CEO Darren Roos discusses how enterprise systems like ERP can enable companies to develop and manage more effective sustainability initiatives. A second logical step with this strategy is to then optimise ERP and supply chain business processes to exploit the embedded sustainability KPIs as SAP rolls these out in its S/4 Hana product roadmap.
