What we consistently hear is that a growing company needs the ability to scale without increasing costs and complexity. The last few years have also clearly shown how crucial agility is to any company鈥檚 success. In other words: growth cannot come at the expense of agility, and vice versa.

Whether a company has simply reached a point where its current technology or systems aren鈥檛 keeping up, or it has made a fundamental business model change 鈥� for example by shifting from selling products to selling a subscription service 鈥� at some stage, companies find they need to pivot to a more scalable and more capable solution. That is when they turn to cloud ERP.

51风流understands what it takes to help customers realize value from adopting cloud ERP. Based on our highly successful RISE with 51风流offering, 51风流is now launching a new offering for midsize customers to harness the proven benefits of cloud ERP:聽.

Designed specifically to help midsize companies take full advantage of cloud ERP and all the benefits that cloud solutions offer, GROW with 51风流gives customers the confidence that they will be up and running quickly with technology that allows them to keep growing effectively and efficiently.

For more than 50 years, 51风流has worked hand in hand with customers across every industry to benchmark and define best-in-class industry-specific processes. With GROW with SAP, companies can immediately adopt these pre-configured, industry best practices, while embedded AI and automation capabilities enable customers to see rapid results in time and cost efficiency, not just effectiveness.

Every company has unique differentiators that cloud ERP can support. With GROW with SAP, we provide a business technology platform where customers can define their own apps and processes in a cloud-native way. Together with our partners, we have built thousands of unique processes for customers that work with SAP鈥檚 cloud ERP. And because we recognize that business experts know their business process needs best, we also enable them to create unique processes and create the solutions they need without having to write code.

Decisions based on sustainability principles are crucial to navigate today鈥檚 complexities, cope with near-term strains, and adapt to a changing global system 鈥� all while creating the foundation for growth in the years ahead.

There are three concepts that leaders must prioritize as they chart their course to sustainable business:

1) Accelerate Renewable Energy Use

Europe is reliant on fossil fuels. Prior to the war in Ukraine, Europe imported about 40% of its gas and more than a quarter of its oil from Russia. While the EU has turned its back on Russian coal, it is struggling to agree on how and how much to boycott Russian oil and gas. Many countries are looking for alternative sources, with the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and other producers filling the gap.

The industrial sector uses about 54% of the聽, more than any other sector. More than聽聽is still produced by fossil fuels. It is clear that聽聽in the short term. The war will likely extend fossil fuel use, putting the timeline to reach net-zero emissions at risk. If we are to avoid slowing or reversing our progress toward our net-zero goals,聽the private sector must accelerate its transition to renewable energy use.

Renewable energy costs have decreased dramatically over the past 20 years, and use has increased accordingly. However, to achieve a secure, sustainable, and economically feasible energy system, government and business leaders need to work together to form policy and finance environments that encourage rapid uptake.聽, coupled with energy-efficiency solutions, are essential to reduce emissions.

Companies must聽聽and support the deployment of renewable energy sources, which are largely domestic, safer, more secure, and less costly at scale. To this end, they can prioritize self-produced energy or commit to using 100% renewable electricity. They can form partnerships to develop renewable energy infrastructure projects, and join coalitions like the RE100.

2) Participate in Collaborative Networks

Russia鈥檚 invasion of Ukraine has increased the instabilities of global supply chains and intensified the scarcity of important resources. Developing stable, reliable, and sustainable supply chains require data-rich,聽. These聽networks will provide the transparency to better manage resource availability, offer essential products and services, address unethical conduct, and reduce environmental impacts.

For example, more than 30% of worldwide food produced is lost or wasted because of inaccurate demand calculations or transport issues. Ukraine has large lithium oxide deposits. With batteries being the most expensive part of electric vehicles, rising prices of nickel and lithium can slow market adoption.

The conflict may also give rise to unethical labor practices, making monitoring human rights and working conditions across supply chains crucial. With sustainability-centered planning and technologies, governments, companies, and NGOs are better prepared to manage crisis response; for example, in case of natural disasters or social emergencies.

Industry data networks like Catena-X and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Carbon Transparency Pathfinder enable companies to manage sustainability performance across supply chains. This includes materials sourcing, accumulated carbon emissions in products, and reusability at a product鈥檚 end-of-cycle.

3) Leverage Sustainable Finance

Business leaders often assume that being more sustainable means being less profitable.聽. Transforming to a low-carbon, low-waste, low-inequality economy and leveraging聽聽represents a massive opportunity.

The capital markets are greening. Sustainable bonds are surging, and a majority are now corporate issuers. Sustainable lending grew by 300% last year. Companies with sustainable credentials are increasingly becoming targets for M&A deals. Despite equity market swings, equity values of sustainable companies were up 46% on average in 2021.

Financing the transition to sustainable companies and economies means business leaders must move away from聽prioritizing only shareholder returns to a broad set of stakeholders, including employees, communities, customers, partners, regulators, and, importantly, nature. Sustainable finance can accelerate business investments in nature-based solutions like protecting forests and other carbon sinks to regenerating ecosystems and supporting biodiversity.

Increased environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting standards force companies to accurately collect, organize, and report their impacts to multiple standards. Investors want greater disclosure as they see not only regulation but trends in consumer and employee demand. They want more sustainable products, services, policies, and business performance; they want to work for responsible companies, and they are more engaged.聽聽and stabilize employment.

Economic sanctions are an important mechanism in the efforts to restore peace. We are in constant exchange with governments around the world, have every confidence in their guidance, and fully support the actions taken so far. We are stopping business in Russia and Belarus aligned with sanctions and, in addition, pausing all sales of 51风流services and products in Russia and Belarus.

With hundreds of thousands of people fleeing their homes, finding and providing shelter quickly is crucial. We have allocated an initial 鈧�1 million in humanitarian support for the people of Ukraine and are working with national Red Cross organizations, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), and other organizations to offer our technology to support their efforts.

For example, our software solutions can help organizations register refugees, coordinate volunteer efforts, and procure humanitarian goods. Additionally, we are working with Qualtrics to help non-profits and regional governments understand the most pressing needs of the people they serve and route them with accommodations and essential supplies on the ground. We have also offered to convert our office space at locations across Europe into warehousing and accommodation for refugees.

The safety and protection of our colleagues in the region is of the utmost importance. For those colleagues who chose to leave Ukraine, we are providing financial and logistical support to try to make this incredibly difficult step as easy as possible.

The 51风流family stands with everyone affected and horrified by the events in Ukraine. There are no winners in war, and we join others in calling for the restoration of peace.

Updated March 9:聽We have suspended sales in Russia and Belarus. We stand with the people of Ukraine and condemn the war.
