WALLDORF, Germany, April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE
(NYSE: SAP) today announced it has joined the World Business
Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) as an innovation
partner in WBCSD's Value Chain Carbon Transparency Pathfinder. The
initiative is dedicated to enhancing transparency in corporate
carbon emissions with the objective to ultimately decarbonize
supply chains. The announcement was made at the SAP
Sustainability Summit virtual event.
The membership accelerates SAP's momentum in sustainability
leadership and innovation. Last year, SAP announced the Climate 21
program to help companies understand, minimize and disclose the
full carbon footprints of their products and services.
"We are supporting businesses of all sizes and industries in
determining the carbon footprint across their operations and supply
chains down to the individual product level by embedding the
corresponding capabilities into our core enterprise software
systems," said Christian Klein, CEO
and Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE. "By partnering with
WBCSD and other forward-thinking companies, we will jointly find
new ways to collect and share product carbon footprint data with
their customers and consumers, which will give them a real
competitive advantage while accelerating global decarbonization
efforts."
WBCSD is a global, CEO-led organization dedicated to
accelerating the transition to a sustainable world. At the core of
the network are its six work programs, including climate, energy
and circular economy, which focus on helping realize the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations
General Assembly in 2015. WBCSD invites businesses,
standards-setting bodies, technology experts and other
decarbonization initiatives to join the Carbon Transparency
Pathfinder in helping develop an effective model to help
decarbonize industry through data transparency.
"We're glad to be counting on SAP's support, drive and expertise
across our programs and projects – especially in the Carbon
Transparency Pathfinder, which is a perfect initiative for SAP
because their software and data management solutions are used by
many of the world's largest companies to run complex supply chain
and manufacturing operations," said Peter
Bakker, president and CEO, WBCSD. "We look forward to
innovating with SAP and other members to make real, tangible
progress on sustainable development and climate action for a more
sustainable world in line with the recently released Vision
2050."
