Digital Receipts: Good for Business and the Planet
This SAP Concur blog post highlights the benefits of digital receipts for both businesses and the environment. It notes that most paper receipts are non-recyclable due to BPA or BPS coatings, and their production consumes millions of trees and billions of gallons of water annually. Adopting digital receipts simplifies receipt management, saves time and money, and improves employee satisfaction. SAP Concur offers tools to automatically integrate electronic receipts and digitize paper ones via mobile app photos. The article also mentions collaboration with the Japanese government to reform regulations and an e-receipt solution integrated with WeChat in China.
