Course Summary

Climate action is top of mind for many companies. The pressure to reduce CO2 emissions is coming from all directions – investors, customers, and regulators. But how can leaders safeguard earnings without CO2 data transparency? How can they show competitiveness if no benchmarks exist? And how can they steer the right action in the face of such uncertainty?

To help deal with such complex questions, SAP launched Climate 21, an initiative to help customers minimize the CO2 footprint of their products, operations, and supply chains.

With Climate 21, we are embedding sustainability metrics as a new dimension into analytical and transactional applications to enable intelligent enterprises to minimize CO2 emissions across entire value chains, from cradle to grave. This will enable business leaders to act on the insights, ultimately creating transparency and the ability to initiate climate-friendly buying decisions.

In this course, you’ll learn why climate action is relevant for your business. You’ll understand how SAP’s Climate 21 initiative can help your company to minimize its CO2 footprint and you’ll be introduced to the first solution of the Climate 21 initiative, SAP Product Carbon Footprint Analytics. We’re also interested in your feedback, so you’ll get the chance to let us know which of the requirements specific to your company SAP should address through the Climate 21 initiative.
