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.

https://valuemanagement.sap.com/disclaimer/



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.

Benchmarking

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

Marketability




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.
