SAP Concur: Making Business Travel Sustainable and Profitable

SAP Concur published a blog post introducing SAP's Climate 21 program, which aims to help enterprise customers understand and minimize the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of their operations. The article notes that business travel can account for more than half of a non-manufacturing organization's carbon footprint and provides a method for calculating travel emissions by multiplying EPA emission factors by distance traveled. It also cites the Paris Agreement goal for European countries to reduce emissions by 55% by 2030 and a survey finding that 94% of Generation Z consider a company's social purpose when deciding where to work.
