Companies did set ambitious targets for 2035 and/or 2050. Nowadays, it becomes clearer that the challenge ahead is even bigger than anticipated. Especially complex is the challenge in the indirect management of CO2 parameter when relying on external partner data quality. Furthermore, there’s the question of whether you or your partner even have the right calculation method in use.
We would like to discuss under the motto “you can’t manage what you can’t measure” certain sustainability solutions that SAP & Westernacher offer to their customers.
