SAP has announced that a leading retailer, The Grupo Pão de Açúcar selected SAP Carbon Impact OnDemand solution. I found this story interesting to blog about because the retailer is not only a leader in its industry, but also a company recognized as a sustainability leader for retailers in Latin America and globally. This to me shows that the SAP’s carbon emission solution has what retailers need to track their carbon footprint.
The Grupo Pão de Açúcar has been committed to sustainability best practices since 2008 by outsourcing the collection and reporting of their sustainability efforts. With SAP Carbon Impact OnDemand solution the retailer will now bring their reporting efforts in-house to give them better operational control of their reporting efforts.
Here is a quote from the vice president of The Grupo Pão de Açúcar
“Before selecting SAP Carbon Impact OnDemand, we used an external firm to collect and report on this information,” said Hugo Bethlem, vice president, The Grupo Pão de Açúcar. “The new solution will allow us to bring this process in-house, making it more efficient and providing us with more operational control. We will gain both valuable insight and a robust tool for proactively managing emissions and energy consumption. The Grupo Pão de Açúcar will be one of the first retail companies in Latin America to inventory its carbon emissions. From this measurement, we will be able to create plans to reduce the GHG emissions and carbon footprint of our operations.”
A benefit for selecting an ondemand solution is that the retailer is expected to be up and running with SAP Carbon Impact by early 2012 in 1,832 stores!!!
