SAP AG has released its quarterly sustainability update with a preliminary, unaudited CO2 emissions report for the second quarter ending June 30, 2010. The company's worldwide CO2 emissions slightly decreased to 115 kilotonnes from 120 kilotonnes in the previous quarter.
In 2009, SAP announced an aggressive commitment to reduce its total carbon emissions to the year-2000 emissions level of approximately 275 kilotonnes by the year 2020. To help reach this goal, SAP is using the SAP Carbon Impact OnDemand solution to access and analyze emissions data across its entire operations and evaluate its carbon footprint reduction efforts. SAP identified several key areas for implementing carbon-efficient operations, including travel, data centers, buildings and commitment to renewable energy.
Other topics in the quarterly update include SAP's engagement with the Sustainability Consortium as the organization's first global technology steering committee member and the creation of the SAP Supplier Code of Conduct
