thanks a million for stopping by and leaving the tantalising comment

I’d love to do another podcast with you to talk about those announcements – just give me some advance warning and I’ll be there armed with my camera and tripod!

you’re absolutely right: SAP feels its very well positioned to enrich existing business processes with capabilities that help businesses holistically manage economic, environmental and social aspects. However, when we started to publicly talk about our sustainability strategy we wanted to make sure it’s grounded in existing solutions like SAP EHS Management that address some of the most urgent issues (like REACH compliance, for example) today.

I have made a fw people I know in SAP aware of it so hopefully we’ll get an answer soon enough.

when you talk to SAP next time, could you ask about what they plans are re Energy /carbon accounting in their non-vertical solution? They have so many systems that only need tweaked / extended to allow for capture of energy or carbon impact: E.g. travel&expenses system for employee travel, logistics for company fleet movements, asset register capture buildings and vehicle efficiency, finance as the general accounting system. Add something like AMEE functionality and SAP makes the positive same impact on environment as it did on corporate budgets in 90s.

WHy don’t they work on something like this and just re-hashing the health&safety solution?
