The business case for sustainable growth is stronger than ever. Operations that
focus on increasing economic, social, and environmental performance can
contribute to profitable growth. They can also enhance the brand, drive innovation,
manage risks, improve efficiency, and satisfy stakeholders.
Meeting customer and regulatory requirements
across global and regional markets poses
operational challenges to even the best-run
organizations. Failure to meet requirements
can lead to costly fines and loss of customers.
Global demand for energy, water, and other
natural resources threatens to outstrip supply,
leading to shortages and cost increases.
Demand for operational transparency combined
with the immediacy of social media and
electronic communication can place brand
value at risk.
Profitable growth stems from an organization’s
ability to manage risks and operate effectively
regardless of complexity and unpredictability.
Organizations need to develop the capability to
act swiftly and decisively during unexpected
events.
Through integrated applications that embed
sustainable practices and risk-management
controls in business processes, “Big Data”
management, analytics, and mobile technology,
enterprises can gain a foundation to meet these
challenges.

Running operations sustainably is essential to achieving long-term profitability and
brand equity. Effectively managing energy and environmental resources can
increase profitability. Proactively mitigating safety and compliance risks can ensure
business continuity.
Sustaining Operational Excellence
Industry leaders practice environmentally
responsible business processes to achieve
operational excellence. They understand that
managing environmental resources is just as
important as managing financial, human, and
manufacturing resources.
There is increasing pressure to manage
operational risks to minimize harm to people
and the environment. Leading organizations
promote a culture of safety by embedding risk-
management practices into core business
processes.
Product stewardship is a key competitive
differentiator when selling products in global
markets. Effective stewardship requires a clear
understanding of regulatory requirements,
efficient supply-chain collaboration, and robust
business-process control to improve
compliance.
Transparency is also essential for operational
excellence. Companies need to increase
transparency into business practices for
compliance, risk management, and product
stewardship in order to satisfy key stakeholders
and to protect and improve brand value.

Many organizations leverage sustainable operations to improve products and
processes and to operate profitably. Through these operational practices and
related performance, they’re entering and thriving in global markets. They’re
seizing emerging opportunities for marketable products and services.
Sustainability as a Driver of Value
Operational excellence requires managing
energy and environmental resources as
effectively as financial and human resources.
It establishes a solid foundation to address
thousands of permitting, pollution-prevention,
and environmental-management requirements.
A key principle of sustainable operations is to
encourage people and processes to embrace
safety and risk management. Proactive risk
management is achieved by performing a
thorough assessment of all operational risks,
designing and implementing controls,
communicating safety information, and
managing change safely in the plant
environment with an eye towards improving
safety.
Customer and regulatory demands for product
stewardship make collaboration with the supply
chain essential. This collaboration helps ensure
that products are free of hazardous materials.
Accurate product analyses, labeling, and
communication processes help ensure
regulatory compliance and enhance product
marketability.
Operational excellence fosters a culture of
continuous improvement and supports related
endeavors – such as safety enhancements and
energy-efficiency programs – with full visibility
into financial and performance metrics.

Long-term growth requires an agile technology foundation that embeds sustainable
practices into core operations. Solutions for Big Data, analytics, mobile technology,
and cloud-based deployment help to establish these practices.
Organizations are inundated with data that
needs to be managed effectively for compliance
and performance management. Database and
technology solutions including the SAP HANA
platform, which incorporates in-memory
technology, are fundamental to transforming
large volumes of raw data coming from sensors,
machines, and people into information to
support real-time risk-management actions.
Analytics solutions enable analysis to predict
the likelihood of incidents and identify cause-
effect relationships so people can take
proactive actions. Rapid analytics can help
adjust energy-consumption patterns in real-time
to reduce costs.
Mobile solutions such as the SAP EHS Safety
Issue mobile app can promote a culture of
safety by allowing all employees to record and
communicate safety issues via a mobile device
and making relevant safety information
available at the point of action.
Cloud-based solutions such as the
SAP Product Stewardship Network support
collaboration to connect many industry supply
chains into one digital ecosystem to promote
transparency and sustainability.

The key to sustainable growth is an organizational ability to enter and expand into
new and existing markets while actively mitigating risks to growth.
Mitigate Risk
To ensure business continuity, a company must anticipate and reduce the likelihood
of incidents and be ready to respond if they occur.
Operate Profitably
Using energy and environmental resources efficiently can increase profits, reduce
price volatility, and minimize environmental impact.
Ensure Marketability
As terms for selling or buying products, regulatory authorities and customers demand
that companies follow robust product-stewardship processes.
Operate Transparently
Companies are expected to operate transparently and disclose sustainability-
performance data as a precondition of business.

On the path to sustainable growth, operational risks can
make even best-run companies stumble. Companies
must identify potential risks and establish controls to
reduce the likelihood and severity of adverse events. If
incidents occur, companies must be prepared, learn, and
improve.
Best-run organizations stay informed and learn
from a broad experience base to anticipate and
avoid threats and risks. They rely on effective
operational-risk-management systems to
ensure business continuity.
In industries that operate in inherently
dangerous environments – such as oil and gas,
chemicals, and mining – safe operations is a
major goal supported by operational-risk-
management best practices.
Through these practices, organizations perform
thorough risk assessments, design operational
controls, and communicate safe work practices.
They can test and monitor operational controls,
capture incidents, and learn from incidents to
influence change.
To support these processes, companies must
achieve effective automation, integration of
people and data, and performance-oriented
analytics for understanding trends, patterns,
and opportunities for improvement.

Best-run organizations use and manage energy and
environmental resources as effectively as financial ones.
They do this by making energy and environmental
performance more visible and implementing best
practices that minimize consumption, cost, and
environmental impact.
Energy and environmental resource manage-
ment is important for achieving operational
excellence. Through smart management of
energy-consuming assets, organizations can
set the foundation for excellence. Understanding
consumption patterns of energy and environ-
mental resources and correlating them to
production, asset performance, and analytics
can reveal opportunities for improvement.
These opportunities can then be translated into
initiatives to drive significant savings in
consumption and costs.
For success and broad adoption of energy and
environmental initiatives, companies must
measure their impact on performance.
Organizations need robust compliance
management at global and local levels to meet
pollution-prevention requirements outlined in
their operating permits. Effective management
of emissions is critical to forecasting and
managing related costs and minimizing
environmental impact.

Manufacturers rely on a comprehensive product-
stewardship process to ensure global marketability of
their products. This process helps them understand
and meet regulatory requirements, ensure compliance
across the supply chain, and support recycling of
products at the end of their lifecycle.
An effective product-stewardship program can
help organizations expand marketability to
more geographies and rapidly get products to
market. A comprehensive program incorporates
many processes and controls across the
complete product lifecycle. These steps help
manufacturers meet regulatory and customer
requirements and optimize environmental
performance.
The process begins with a thorough
understanding of global and regional
regulations across the product portfolio.
By evaluating compliance and collaborating
with the supply chain, manufacturers reduce
risk of noncompliance. Controls and
communication requirements for purchasing,
inventory management, transportation, and
sales help ensure compliance and the safety of
people and the environment.
Finally, establishing effective end-of-lifecycle
reporting and management processes is critical
for recycling products and related packaging
and waste responsibly.

Enterprises that are leaders in sustainability are
transparent to their stakeholders including customers,
regulators, employees, and shareholders. They simplify
data-collection and disclosure processes for increased
focus on initiatives that improve performance.
Establishing a sustainability strategy and
performance goals calls for a deep
understanding of organizational imperatives,
past performance, and the potential for
improvement.
Sustainability leaders leverage standard,
industry-specific key performance indicators
based on Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) to
guide strategy and data-collection efforts.
Often, data-collection processes are simplified
and automated so stakeholders can focus on
more pressing matters.
These include setting organizational targets,
cascading those targets to individual business
units and operational activities, and assessing
internal and external benchmarks.
To improve sustainability, these organizations
design and implement initiatives that support
performance goals. They also disclose
progress and results transparently to engage
their stakeholders.

established sustainable systems and procedures to continuously improve our
environmental performance.”
Mark Lesky, Director of Responsible Care, NOVA Chemicals Corporation

Responsible Care, a voluntary global initiative under which
companies work to improve their environmental performance.

“By using an integrated SAP solution rather than a point solution for
REACH compliance, we could set up a very efficient system that ensures high
data integrity.”
Paul Vanhemelryck, REACH-IT Project Manager, Solvay S.A.
When Solvay S.A., a Belgium chemical and plastics firm,
needed to comply with new REACH (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) legislation, it
turned to SAP for help.
Given its extensive investment in SAP software for enterprise resource
planning, product safety, and supply chain management, Solvay didn’t
have to look far for a solution. For Solvay, SAP software for product and
REACH compliance – an upgrade to the SAP Environment, Health, and
Safety Management (SAP EHS Management) application – was clearly
the best choice.
Key Benefits
Revenue protection by enabling access to European markets
Fast, hassle-free auditing enabled by full traceability of communications
Simplified language handling through Unicode support
Ability to proactively detect supply chain disruptions and keep
regulators informed in real time
Reduced compliance costs and effort via automated processes and multisystem integration
