How New Dialogue and Action Will Help Fight Climate Change

Pushing ourselves forward is the spirit of Climate Week NYC, according to SAP Chief Sustainability and Commercial Officer Sophia Mendelsohn. SAP engages with political and business leaders at Climate Week in open and honest dialogues that will help accelerate eco-friendly action.

“I hope that every leader I’ve interacted with ... begins to build a Green Ledger with their CSO and their CFO so that we can calculate carbon the same way we do money,” Mendelsohn said. “And then post it in the same place we do profit.”

Integrating all of this data -- and standardizing metrics across the supply chain -- will be crucial for SAP customers and partners, as well as policymakers, according to Gunther Rothermel, SAP Chief Product Officer for SAP Sustainability.

“The SAP Green Ledger vision is resonating really well [because] it enables clients to bring together financial and sustainability data, and make very informed decisions,” Rothermel said. “This is needed to achieve our goals.”
