Riyadh, KSA 鈥�聽The Saudi Investment Recycling Company SIRC, wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has announced the successful deployment of solutions from global technology company 麻豆原创 that will modernize business processes including procurement infrastructure and employee management.

The two parties are also deepening their existing relationship, signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the creation of a digital transformation roadmap that will enable SIRC to enhance its environmental performance and reporting capabilities and leverage new technologies to enrich customer services.

SIRC and its subsidiaries Akam and Reviva successfully deployed 麻豆原创 S/4HANA enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud, 麻豆原创 Ariba and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors, with implementation at several other subsidiaries to follow soon. This represents an extension of the company鈥檚 partnership with 麻豆原创, which began in 2022 with SIRC adopting an ERP solution.

Sultan Saud Alsaif, Executive Director of Technology & Innovation at SIRC, commented, 鈥淎s champions of the circular economy and supporters of the National Waste Management Framework, SIRC seeks out investors and partners who share a genuine commitment to supporting the environment. Through the MoU with 麻豆原创, we are collaborating on innovative ways to leverage technology that will enhance our contributions to, and reporting on, environmental protection initiatives. At the same time, our operations need to run efficiently and productively, following best industry practices, which is why we have deployed 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud, Ariba and SuccessFactors as part of a comprehensive digital transformation program. These deployments ensure our employees are engaged and our procurement is managed intelligently, while the automation of business processes and data analysis improve efficiencies, ultimately enhancing the experience for all parties involved.鈥�

Established in 2017, SIRC is committed to achieving the environmental and sustainability objectives outlined in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 through advancing waste management practices, promoting recycling initiatives, conserving natural resources, and moving towards a circular economy. The company develops, owns, operates and finances various activities across all waste types in the Kingdom.

Alongside the current deployments, SIRC and 麻豆原创 will be focusing in particular on two strategic priorities this year as part of the MoU. The first is enhancing customer experience, which could include SIRC implementing a next-generation CRM platform. The second is exploring how 麻豆原创鈥檚 portfolio of sustainability-focused solutions could be leveraged to help SIRC analyze and report on sustainability KPIs and its carbon footprint.

Dr. Fahd Nawwab, Vice President, 麻豆原创 Saudi Arabia, commented, 鈥淕iven the pivotal role played by SIRC as the driving force behind circular economy investments in the Kingdom, it was important to have future-proof, scalable and intelligent spend and human resource management solutions that could be integrated seamlessly into its existing 麻豆原创 landscape. Sustainability is core to 麻豆原创鈥檚 corporate strategy and our purpose to help the world run better and improve people鈥檚 lives. 麻豆原创鈥檚 values are aligned with those of SIRC, so it is natural for our partnership to extend beyond a technical digital transformation to co-innovating and collaborating on environmental initiatives and reporting.鈥�

The 麻豆原创 Ariba portfolio offers an end-to-end spend management system with integrated supplier information, lifecycle, performance, and risk management functions. 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors Human Experience Management (HXM) Suite provides comprehensive global HR software, spanning core HR and payroll, talent management, HR analytics and workforce planning, and employee experience management.

DUBAI, UAE 鈥� 7 December, 2023 鈥� In preparation for COP28, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) and four UAE manufacturers have been working with global technology giant to demonstrate the outcomes and benefits of various sustainability strategies in the Emirates. The showcase evaluates the four companies鈥� environmental programs using 麻豆原创鈥檚 Sustainability Control Tower, and will be on display at the Green Zone at Expo City from November 30 to December 12.

The four sustainability-focused manufacturers are Agthia Group PJSC, a food and beverage company; Crown Papermill, a producer of tissue paper jumbo rolls; RAK Ceramics, a manufacturer of ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and sanitaryware; and Exeed, a supplier in the construction industry. The companies shared several years鈥� worth of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data, which were processed by the 麻豆原创 Sustainability Control Tower in collaboration with 麻豆原创 partner msg, and then consolidated in 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud solutions for an industry view. The 麻豆原创 solution would normally be implemented by individual companies, but this showcase demonstrates that data from multiple companies can be consolidated to offer an industry or country-level analysis of sustainability performance and to identify challenges or areas for improvement, which could then be addressed through new policies or regulations.

His Excellency Eng Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at MoEI, said, 鈥淐ollaboration is key to our green energy transition and to ensure the UAE meets its net zero by 2050 goal. This showcase with 麻豆原创 is a great example of how the public and private sector can work together to achieve our shared objectives. By leveraging technology to assess individual and joint environmental impact of various industries, we can measure our progress holistically and identify sectors where extra effort is needed to ensure all organizations are working effectively to meet our collective objective toward climate neutrality. The ministry is actively enhancing efficiency in the industrial sector, urging manufacturers to reduce their energy consumption and emissions through investments in cutting-edge technologies as part of the National Energy and Water Demand Side Management Program 2050.鈥�

The 麻豆原创 Sustainability Control Tower ensures comprehensive, robust and auditable ESG performance, enabling company-wide goal setting, regulatory compliance and automated reporting. It gathers data from technology solutions such as 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, and the insights gained enable companies to set targets, monitor progress and manage their sustainability performance and decisions.

Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President of 麻豆原创 Middle East Africa 鈥� South, said, 鈥溌槎乖� is committed to supporting the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative. In addition to advising and supporting companies to align with this initiative, 麻豆原创 aims to help organizations to accelerate this goal wherever possible, having moved our own net zero emissions target forward to 2030. We hope that this showcase, based on real scenarios and data, will demonstrate to companies, industries and governments how collaborative efforts and consolidated data collection can drive sustainability impact at scale, and steer global zero-emission strategies. The Sustainability Control Tower is the cornerstone of 麻豆原创鈥檚 sustainability portfolio, and can be used to deliver actionable insights at every level 鈥� company, industry or country wide. It is also flexible enough to be used by any type of company: as visitors can see, each of the four companies in our showcase faces different challenges when it comes to reducing its carbon footprint, despite all being in the manufacturing sector.鈥�

Macotta added that the organizers鈥� hope is that enterprises of all sizes and across all sectors will leverage advanced technologies such as the 麻豆原创 Sustainability Control Tower to measure and achieve ambitious goals, and collaborate to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve the UAE鈥檚 2050 net zero objective.

Many key 麻豆原创 customers in Egypt have cited this focus on sustainability as a factor that led them to select 麻豆原创 as their digital partner. According to Mostafa el Gabaly, Managing Director of Polyserve Fertilizers and Chemicals, “When we first initiated our digitalization program in 2019 one of our main goals was to operate in a more sustainable way. With 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and the ARIBA platform, we succeeded in achieving this goal. We are always exploring and experimenting methods for reducing our carbon footprint.鈥�

The 麻豆原创 YouGov survey also asked respondents to rank what their chief sustainability goals were for the next 18 months. Reducing waste was the top priority, highlighted by 53%, followed closely by addressing sustainability in supply chains at 52%, while 34% saw reducing emissions and decarbonization as a priority.

Broad transformation benefits

Aside from supporting their sustainability objectives, companies in Egypt are embracing digital transformation to enhance various aspects of their operations and services. Chief among these, according to the 麻豆原创-commissioned survey, are customer service, identified as a target by 60% of respondents, followed by finance (45%) and human resources (45%), and supply chains (25%).

Similarly, in terms of measuring the success of their digital transformation, respondents said they would be considering factors such as increases in efficiency (59%), improvements customer service (52%), cost savings (39%) and enhanced competitiveness (20%).

Commenting on the strong support for digital transformation in Egypt, 麻豆原创鈥檚 Samy concluded, 鈥淓gypt鈥檚 adoption of new technologies, and its vision to create a robust digital infrastructure supported by skilled workers, have inspired organizations to embrace the benefits of cloud computing. In doing so, they benefit from advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, data science, blockchain, and cyber security. Ultimately, embracing digital transformation supports sustainable national development and the positioning of Egypt as a regional innovation hub as outlined in the Digital Egypt vision.鈥�

DUBAI, UAE 鈥� March 7, 2023 鈥� The Museum of the Future鈥檚 newest showcase, the OSS Hope Simulator from 麻豆原创, was unveiled today, providing an immersive experience where visitors can see how today鈥檚 technologies could be leveraged to sustain a future space station. The launch was part of the 麻豆原创 NOW event held at the museum, which explored the future of innovation, sustainability and digital transformation.

The new exhibit is the result of a strategic partnership announced between the Museum of the Future and 麻豆原创 in the past year. This was one of a series of partnership agreements the museum established in order to be a key laboratory for entities from all around the world and to be able to generate futuristic and innovative technological solutions that address humanity鈥檚 greatest challenges.

The OSS Hope Simulator from 麻豆原创 is situated on the 鈥楾omorrow Today鈥� floor of the museum, a dedicated space featuring near-future technologies that have the power to transform and change the way we live. The simulator presents visitors with various scenarios that will have an impact on the Orbital Space Station (OSS) Hope, a space structure redirecting solar energy to power earth by 2071, as conceptualized by the museum. The space station is constantly working towards maximizing its resources and, therefore, it is crucial to sustainably balance energy, materials, and opportunities for all the inhabitants, and for the station itself. Guided by an AI assistant, visitors playing on one of the three available gaming stations encounter challenges that use existing 麻豆原创 technologies and solutions to reduce emissions, waste, and inequalities to zero and thereby make OSS Hope an even more sustainable vision.

Majed Al Mansoori, Deputy Executive Director at the Museum of the Future, said, our partnership with 麻豆原创 reinforces the importance of the Museum’s role as a global testing platform for the latest technologies and innovations of the future, and a centre for international partnerships aimed at developing new solutions to the most pressing challenges facing humanity in the years and decades to come.

He added: “Museum of the Future aims to design innovative experiences and solutions that support the progression of societies in line with the vision that humanity is at the heart of future aspirations, and that pioneering technology plays an essential role in creating new opportunities that guarantee a better future for generations to come.”

Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President, 麻豆原创 Middle East Africa South, said, “While 麻豆原创 helps organizations of various capacities to run better, the OSS Hope Simulator provides us with the opportunity to directly engage with individuals of all ages to showcase how innovation can enable a more sustainable and brighter future. In addition, the installation sheds light on 麻豆原创’s solutions that support its sustainability goals, highlighting the synergy between humans and technology and reinforcing our belief that selecting optimal solutions for a sustainable future requires human compassion combined with data-driven insights. Ultimately, it acknowledges that technology can help address some of the most profound environmental, economic, and social challenges of our time”.

As part of the installation, the simulator includes a 鈥榃all of Knowledge鈥� that explains how the various solutions and technologies used by 麻豆原创 operate. Once players have chosen from the various courses of action presented in the simulated challenges, they can view 麻豆原创鈥檚 global use cases to find out about current applications of that specific solution. There are a total of eight solutions used in the 麻豆原创 simulation including blockchain, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, hyper-automation, and digital twins.

Maccotta pointed out that with the simulator鈥檚 focus on zero emissions, zero waste and zero inequality, it was fitting that it was launched during the UAE鈥檚 Year of Sustainability, and the year in which COP28 will be held in Dubai. He added that the UAE government鈥檚 focus on sustainability has led to a ripple effect seen across all industries, according to a new survey released by 麻豆原创.

Sustainability Linked to Business Success

鈥淎 recent 麻豆原创-commissioned survey shows that the overwhelming majority of companies in the UAE are fully aligned on the importance of sustainability including the role it plays in the future success of their business,鈥� Maccotta said. 鈥淏usinesses are facing pressure from customers and partners to demonstrate sustainable practices, and the survey shows that it is being driven internally too, as the financial value of sustainability is increasingly recognized.鈥�

According to Maccotta, the new YouGov survey commissioned by 麻豆原创 indicated that 96% of UAE companies recognized the importance of sustainability as a business objective, with 52% describing it as vital to their success. Similarly, 94% of IT decision makers surveyed stated that their organizations鈥� financial performance and sustainability strategies would be connected in the coming 12 months, with 36% stating they would be intrinsically connected.
