Published 6 years ago | About a 2 minute read

SAP has made environmental sustainability an integral part of corporate strategy. We strive to promote sustainability across our entire business and to extend our impact through partners and customers. One area of the world where this is vitally important is China. As the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter and manufacturing powerhouse, China is a focal point for any conversation around global environmental issues. The country’s central government is committed to policies ensuring that its accelerated development takes full consideration of the environment. China’s role as a changemaker in global technology also has a direct impact on environmental sustainability. One of the key ways China will achieve its ambitious development goals is to innovatively apply technology to solve environmental sustainability challenges.

This whitepaper paints a picture of China’s sustainability landscape, and explores many technology solutions the government and corporations are using to address the issues. There are many examples of how SAP’s products and services, including big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain and virtual reality, are helping build sustainable enterprises, and how they are specifically being used by organizations internationally and in China. The paper also outlines the many ways SAP is a role model for global and Chinese companies.
