9. Sustainability Reporting
SAP Sustainability Performance Management (SuPM)
• Simplicity: Preloaded GRI Indicators
• Flexibility: Ability to add / modify KPIs as needed
• Organization: Single repository for data; Long term data
storage
• Access / Control: Data simultaneously accessible to multiple
company representatives, but only modifiable by select
individuals

13. Today’s Reality
• +45 entrants to sustainability software market
over last 12 months
• Increasing linkage between financial and non-
financial reporting
• Decreased headcount to manage internal data
• New guidance from GRI Sector Supplements
• Increased scrutiny on data quality
15. Common Management Obstacles
• Availability of Environmental Data
– Disparate
– Unreliable
– Infrequent
• Reporting is becoming more frequent and complex
– Expanding scopes create multiple parameters for evaluation
– Can’t meet reporting requirements in given timeframe
because internal process is manual
• Goals are unclear
– Not all operating units are measuring performance against
specific indicators in the same way
– Little to no evidence of cause and effect linkage between
objectives/ metrics and overall strategy
16. Our Approach
• Streamline environmental data management processes
• Understand current and projected performance
• Improve transparency of environmental and social
performance data for internal and external stakeholders
• Align with key reporting standards, including GRI
• Determine the top causes of carbon emissions, waste or
water consumption.
• Model alternative sustainability projects and quantify
their effect on achieving corporate objectives.
