The Sustainability imperative

E S G => Environmental, Social and Governance

Multiple stakeholders (investors, consumers, employees, regulators, governments) push companies to meet higher ESG standards. Transforming for more sustainability is not only crucial to attract investors, satisfy customer demand, and meet employee aspirations. It is also driven by regulations moving from recommended framework to laws requiring companies to realize a due diligence up the stream of their supply chains, making sure suppliers comply with ESG requirements. As a result, the 2023 CPO agenda encompasses: social procurement, social consciousness, circular economy, and supply chains’ ESG score impact.

The partner opportunity

As a partner, build the intelligent, sustainable enterprise addressing sustainable procurement customer use cases.

Several partners already took the opportunity to lead with apps and add-ons commercialized on the SAP store (https://store.sap.com/dcp/en/search/sustainability) with high focus on providing supplier sustainability risk indicators (related to human rights, scope 3 emissions...). Those extensions are leveraged by customers to monitor risks across the supply chain. There are way more untapped opportunities around sustainable procurement and supply chain in general, leveraging SAP Business Technology Platform, connecting procurement solutions to SAP sustainability solutions built on BTP such as Sustainability Control Tower & Product Footprint Management, and the available inbound & outbound APIs.
