SAP announced yesterday the Climate 21 program to support customers in pursuing their climate-related objectives. 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. The announcement was made at the SAPPHIRE NOW® Converge conference, held online from 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 hyper-connected world, it’s even more important for businesses to quickly react to environmental and market changes.
