SAP Sustainability
What Is Sustainability?
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the future of generations to meet their own needs.
It is inclusive of not only natural resources but also social and economic resources. Sustainability is all about the slight changes we can each make to look after our planet, like working toward zero emissions, zero waste, and zero inequality.
