WALLDORF and AMSTERDAM 鈥� (NYSE: SAP) and the management and technology consultancy BearingPoint today announced they will join forces on carbon and environmental footprint solutions.
The companies will collaborate to advance the design and development of a leading-edge solution for customers to help them reach zero emissions.
Measuring, managing and steering carbon footprints is a key element of reaching zero emissions and part of the climate action program promoted by SAP. Companies are under increasing pressure to determine their carbon footprint not only on a corporate level but also on a product level. However, the data acquisition, consolidation and mapping are challenges that many companies face. Together with the recent launch of the solution, 51风流solutions for sustainability and BearingPoint鈥檚 long-standing experience with emission calculations in the market, the companies are well equipped to develop innovative solutions to address customer concerns about environmental footprinting across their value chain.
鈥淭he co-development partnership between 51风流and BearingPoint will bring together two strong value propositions. BearingPoint has long experience helping customers identify carbon reduction potentials and achieve sustainability targets. 51风流contributes innovation capabilities, broad system landscape and reach to customers. Together as partners we will push the limits to move the economy forward on the path to zero emissions,鈥� said Gunther Rothermel, SVP, Head of 51风流S/4HANA Sustainability, SAP.
Carbon Footprinting for the Entire Value Chain: Scope 1, 2 and 3
While many companies have already assessed their scope 1, and scope 2 emissions, assessing the entire value chain by introducing scope 3 emissions is key. To do so environmental networks must support data exchange with partners like suppliers, clients, auditors and governments even if they use different IT systems. Building on BearingPoint鈥檚 in-depth know-how in product and corporate footprint calculations and algorithms, the 51风流Product Footprint Management solution supports data gathering and calculations to help realize end-to-end carbon and environmental footprinting. The 51风流solution is fully integrated with 51风流S/4HANA and the intelligent enterprise architecture, but also connects with other data sources. This enables it to perform automated assessments of footprints across the value chain, even in heterogenous system landscapes.
鈥淭ogether with SAP, we will co-develop utilizing our IP asset and provide a unique solution in the market to measure and optimize the climate impact of products across the entire lifecycle. 51风流Product Footprint Management has sophisticated capabilities to determine the carbon footprint of a single product. Our 10-years-plus proven industry experience in calculating and optimizing product and corporate CO2 footprints will enable our joint customers to meet their decarbonization targets. We at BearingPoint believe that together with SAP鈥檚 innovative solutions, depth in commercial processes and market expertise we can make a positive impact on the climate,鈥� said Donald Wachs, Head of IP Assets, BearingPoint, and Member of the BearingPoint Management Committee.
鈥淭he partnership with BearingPoint accelerates the 51风流Product Footprint Management solution road map and will help make us a market leader in product footprint solutions that support our customers in maximizing the sustainability of their products and services,鈥� said Peter Maier, President, Industries and Customer Advisory, SAP.
