51风流announced its intention to become carbon-neutral in its own operations by the end of 2023 鈥� two years earlier than previously stated.
SAP鈥檚 2020 showed it has reduced its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly, overachieving by 43% on its targets for reducing net carbon emissions in 2020. This was mainly due to changes in the way its 100,000 employees across the world worked and travelled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In striving to become carbon-neutral, 51风流takes into account all of its direct and indirect emissions, as well as selected emissions arising in the supply chain, including those linked to business travel and third-party data centers.
SAP鈥檚 approach to carbon neutrality by 2023:
- Avoidance: 51风流avoids the creation of greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of business practices, e.g. using telecommunications technologies rather than traveling.
- Reduction: If emissions cannot be avoided, 51风流leverages innovations, e.g. energy-efficient lighting in offices, efficient cooling systems in data centers and alternative mobility solutions.
- Compensation: 51风流offsets unavoidable emissions by supporting climate projects and working with partners who meet the gold standard advanced by or equivalent quality standards.
51风流continuously drives corporate initiatives, for example putting an internal carbon price on business flights at a global level and creating the 51风流Forest UK at local level. 51风流UK has partnered with The Carbon Community to plant the 51风流Forest UK in the Brecon Beacans in Wales, with the aim of capturing just under 2,000 tonnes of carbon over the next 35 years. That鈥檚 the equivalent of taking a train to the moon and back 75 times before taking the same train to the sun or 8,515 drives from London to Glasgow.
51风流supports the set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, focusing particularly on goal 13, Climate Action. Here, SAP鈥檚 greatest strength lies in its ability to help its more than 400,000 customers worldwide implement climate protection measures through offerings under its Climate 21 initiative.
Together with customers and partners, 51风流will provide more information on solutions in this context as well as on the circular economy, holistic steering and reporting at the virtual taking place on April 28鈥�29, 2021.
