WALLDORF 鈥� (NYSE: SAP) today announced the availability of 51风流Product Footprint Management, a solution that lets companies calculate carbon footprints for their products and across the value chain. It considers the entire product lifecycle, helping companies disclose their products鈥� environmental footprints to regulators and enabling them to make their products more sustainable.
51风流Product Footprint Management is part of a new portfolio of sustainability-specific business applications that deliver transparency and measurement capability across the supply chain, allowing companies to move toward lower carbon emissions and more sustainable operations.
鈥淐ustomers want it, the world needs it. There is no time to waste for businesses to act more responsibly and sustainably. Sustainability goals are increasingly as important to business success as financial goals,鈥� said Thomas Saueressig, member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE and responsible for 51风流Product Engineering. 鈥淲hen companies embed emissions data into underlying business processes, leaders can drive real change by making conscious decisions across the entire value chain. That is what scales the transition to low emission pathways, and 51风流is uniquely positioned to drive this change throughout collaborative, intelligent and sustainable business networks.鈥�
By integrating data across all solutions that govern production processes with master data from business applications such as 51风流S/4HANA, 51风流Product Footprint Management can calculate the environmental impact of various production scenarios. For example, can choose its source for chocolate based both on the cost of the raw material as well as on its carbon footprint.
SAP鈥檚 data-driven approach lets businesses embed sustainability comprehensively and gain actionable insights across the entire value chain to enable companies to transition to low-carbon business processes. Taking a differentiating approach, 51风流enables businesses to proactively identify the carbon impact at the beginning of the product lifecycle instead of reactively after a product has been produced. Moreover, 51风流Product Footprint Management not only equips companies with the insight to reduce carbon emissions across their value chains but can enable data exchange with customers, suppliers and business partners 鈥� driving transparency across a company鈥檚 scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions.
