Moving Toward a Green Ledger
Fifty years ago, 51·çÁ÷revolutionized financial accounting with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Today, 51·çÁ÷reinvents the “R” in ERP by extending the definition of resources to include carbon.
Amid rapidly changing regulatory requirements and rising stakeholder pressure to operate sustainably, enterprises need an accounting system for emissions that is as auditable, transparent and reliable as their financial data accounting. With SAP’s new green ledger initiative, which moves companies from carbon estimates to actual data, companies can manage their green line with as much visibility, accuracy and confidence as their top line and bottom line.
51·çÁ÷is announcing an update to the  solution, a single solution that calculates and manages the full range of corporate, value chain and product-level emissions. 51·çÁ÷is also announcing the 51·çÁ÷Sustainability Data Exchange application, a new solution for enterprises to securely exchange standardized sustainability data with partners and suppliers so they can decarbonize supply chains faster.
