Whatever size organisation you're running, sustainability has a strong foothold in business strategies. Nearly two-thirds (60%) of finance organisations view environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives as a critical or high priority with a clear competitive advantage.¹ For most businesses, the key benefits include reduced costs, increased productivity, and higher profitability.²

CFOs and finance leaders have great opportunity to connect sustainability performance and financial growth when rethinking the management of their corporate travel and expense (T&E). Whether it’s helping employees pick the most sustainable travel option, reducing paper from the process, or supporting advanced reporting, intelligent and cloud-based T&E solution can help dramatically improve sustainability scores.

In this CFO Insights, we explore how regional CFOs at SAP offices develop strategies to protect SAP financial position and improve sustainability performance. Download the whitepaper to learn more best practices from SAP CFOs.
