According to a panel of sustainability experts assembled by SAP, businesses must dig deeper than you might expect into their supply chain relationships in order to have a true picture of their impact. “If you want to cover the risk, you need to go all the way down,” said Peter Graf, chief sustainability officer for SAP and executive vice president of the company’s Sustainability Solutions unit. Graf says there should be three major motivators for corporate sustainability initiatives, including making the business/brand more attractive to consumers or potential customers, driving innovation, and covering the company against risk and compliance requirements. To those companies that struggle with how to incorporate sustainability initiatives into their day-to-day operations, Graf offers this hopeful perspective, “Driving data [for sustainability] is something you can do with the enterprise info that already is in place.” In other words, once you understand which information to study from within your existing business process applications, you can drive progress when it comes to sustainability.
