ERP increasingly serves as the hub of organizations' environmental sustainability strategies. But so far, it has mostly been used to standardize and automate the collecting and reporting of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data for customers, investors and regulators. There's a growing sense that ERP can be put to greater use if it's more closely integrated with enterprise technology that has a direct impact on sustainability, such as supply chain visibility, logistics and asset management, to effect real change.
This more ambitious vision of IT-driven sustainability calls for digital transformation of business processes and presents daunting development and integration challenges. So ERP vendors have set up partnerships with the professional services and Big Four accounting firms Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC to make it a reality.
One prominent example is EY's partnering with SAP to help customers implement sustainability through their SAP systems.
In this podcast, EY partner Marsha Reppy shares her experiences and insights on the challenges of sustainability and assesses where companies stand on the maturity curve. Reppy heads EY's sustainability consulting practice for the Americas, having joined the firm in 2006 after five years at Deloitte. She has worked for more than 20 years helping consumer products and retail companies with their digital transformation initiatives through technologies like analytics, AI and intelligent automation, and has extensive experience working with SAP systems.
Other topics discussed in the podcast include:
- what sustainability means in practice for organizations
- the biggest technical challenges of sustainability
- EY's role in the SAP partnership
