SAP’s Commitment to Sustainability

At SAP we are committed to making the world run better. We have made sustainability core to our purpose and business strategy. In a better run world, our vision is for IT to have impact in the following ways:

IT helps companies run more profitably and more sustainably. We're proud to provide our customers with solutions that turn sustainability from a risk to be managed into a source of value creation. We have designed sustainability solutions that fall into five key areas: sustainability reporting and analytics, energy management, operational risk management, sustainable supply chain and products, and sustainable workforce.

IT leaders become sustainability leaders. We continued to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 6% in 2010 while at the same time experiencing a year of strong revenue growth. This showcases how positive business results and sustainable operations can go hand-in-hand. Overall, we have lowered our greenhouse gas footprint by 25% since 2007.

IT drives economic opportunity for all. Our goal is to impact 1 million people in 2011 by focusing on three main areas: meeting basic needs, enhancing education and creating sustainable growth and economic opportunity.
