Recently, the German tech giant took a spot in the A List of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), an international organisation widely regarded as the gold standard of environmental reporting. The CDP’s coveted A List announces more than 300 companies that are paving the way toward a more sustainable future. Furthermore, this recognition comes just a few weeks after SAP was hailed as a software industry leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for the 15th year in a row.

The company’s position in these leading sustainability rankings establishes SAP as a front-runner in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Luka Mucic, Member of the Executive Board and Chief Financial Officer at SAP, remarked:

“We remain firmly committed to leading by example in our efforts to run our business sustainably and report our progress. Equally important is that we share our knowledge with our customers and enable them to achieve their own climate goals with our growing portfolio of sustainability solutions.”

SAP stands out as an exemplar when it comes to disclosing sustainability metrics after receiving top scores in the CDP and DJSI rankings. With that said, SAP software and solutions aim to enable businesses to do due diligence on their own performance by assisting them in measuring and monitoring emissions.

Among those that have already invested in digital technologies to help achieve their environmental objectives is the People’s Government of Panjin Municipality in China. Last month, the Panjin City Government and SAP held an in-depth discussion to share their views on the “Green Development Platform Project” in Shuangtaizi District where digital technologies will play a crucial role in the implementation of China’s “dual carbon” goals. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.)

The high-level meeting took place after the two parties signed an agreement to establish the “Green Development and Double Carbon Innovation Center” at the 4th China International Import Expo (CIIE). During the annual event, SAP showcased its latest technology solutions and services and forged several strategic agreements with other Chinese firms.

Achieving Sustainability Goals Through SAP Software and Solutions

Moreover, Dr. Huang Chenhong, SAP Global Executive Vice President and President of Greater China, believes green development is the only option to meet the “dual carbon” targets. He added that digital technology can enable the effective implementation of low-carbon strategies. Commenting on the partnership with the Panjin City Government, he stated:

“SAP attaches great importance to cooperation with Panjin City. We look forward to helping Panjin achieve green and low-carbon development through innovative technologies, and working hand in hand to contribute to China’s dual-carbon goal.”

As part of the new collaboration, SAP will provide a series of digital solutions based on the SAP Business Technology Platform to help Panjin develop an urban carbon emissions monitoring and simulation system. This is on top of improving urban operations, facilitating industrial restructuring, and advancing a low-carbon economy. In addition, the German enterprise software giant will also actively engage in the creation of the “Panjin Index”.

Furthermore, Scott Russell, Executive Board Member and Head of Customer Success at SAP, said that SAP and the Panjin City Government will build an eco-city of the future through this partnership. He added in a LinkedIn post:

“This initiative marks the beginning of a profoundly impactful journey in sustainable development. Looking forward to continuing our journey of creating a greener future for both our people and planet!”

With over 20 years of industry experience and well-established operations across Asia, Europe, South America, and North America, Velocity Technology Solutions has been adding significant scale and reach to Navisite‘s global presence since its acquisition in January. The vast experience of Velocity Technology Solutions in leveraging its own Velocity Cloud Application Management Platform (VCAMP) provides opportunities for its customers to simplify their cloud transformation by offering a standardised portfolio of SAP cloud products for value-added resellers, systems integrators, and enterprises.

Jim Ball, Vice President of Global Alliances at Navisite, has emphasised the company’s commitment to delivering managed services for SAP solutions with the newly announced achievement of Velocity Technology Solutions.

Velocity Technology Solutions has been recognised as an SAP-certified service provider of managed services across four aspects of SAP software and solutions including SAP Business Suite solutions operations and hosting operations, SAP S/4HANA solutions operations, and SAP HANA operations.

Moreover, these recertifications attained by Velocity Technology Solutions will boost its functional and technical capabilities to help customers adopt the latest cloud technologies from SAP and successfully migrate to SAP S/4HANA.

Describing it as a “strong track record of SAP certifications,” Ball further said: 

“By offering services for a broad range of SAP solutions, and with an outstanding team of business and technical experts, we’re uniquely positioned to help customers realize the full value of their SAP investments, reduce costs and transform their businesses across any cloud, including AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.”

Navisite Expands with Companies Utilising SAP Solutions

Another testament to Navisite’s commitment to bringing first-class knowledge of SAP systems to global customers is its acquisition of Dickinson + Associates. Dickinson + Associates is an SAP Gold partner with more than 22 years as a leading SAP systems integrator, delivering transformational SAP business solutions and enterprise support worldwide.

As part of its strategy to expand the firm’s SAP offerings, Navisite continues to help businesses boost their performance as they take on their journey towards becoming intelligent enterprises.

Meanwhile, Navisite has announced that it has achieved Google Cloud Partner status — a designation that recognises the company as an authorised managed services provider on the platform. This also follows Dickinson + Associates’ recent Google Cloud certification. The said partnership empowers Navisite to offer customers additional innovation on Google Cloud, increase the scale of its managed services offering, and resell Google Cloud infrastructure as a service.

From developing the overall migration analysis and cloud strategy to ongoing support and production cutovers, Navisite’s Google Cloud services cover all areas of customers’ migration and beyond.

“Together with Dickinson + Associates, our commitment to Google Cloud and combined synergies and expertise will be a significant advantage for SAP customers as they look to transform their businesses and chart a path to the intelligent enterprise,” Ball said in a statement.

These Google Cloud accreditations, along with the recertifications attained by Velocity Technology Solutions, will bolster Navisite’s capabilities to become a stronger partner for its customers competing in the digital economy and transforming their businesses in the cloud.
