Â鶹ԭ´´ SE (NYSE:Â鶹ԭ´´) today announced that Himalaya, one of the leading global health care brands, has chosen Â鶹ԭ´´ to boost the ability to reach their sustainability goals through innovative new technology.

From being a pharmaceutical company, Himalaya has emerged as a global herbal health and personal care company with close to 500 products sold in more than 100 countries worldwide. Himalaya has chosen Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Footprint Management and Â鶹ԭ´´ EHS Environment Management as part of its RISE with Â鶹ԭ´´ journey to improve sustainable outcomes.

“At Himalaya, sustainability is a part of our DNA and we strongly believe what is good for Mother Earth is good for our customers—and is good for Himalaya,” shares Ananth Narayan Narasimhan, CIO of Himalaya. “With Â鶹ԭ´´, we aim to improve efficiencies, intensify focus in key areas, and accelerate our progress in this critical journey in spirit and in deed.”

The sustainability solutions will support Himalaya’s RISE with Â鶹ԭ´´ journey to bring together operational and sustainability metrics. Himalaya also benefits from a range of other Â鶹ԭ´´ solutions, including Â鶹ԭ´´ SuccessFactors, Â鶹ԭ´´ Ariba, Â鶹ԭ´´ Integrated Business Planning, Â鶹ԭ´´ Analytics Cloud, and Â鶹ԭ´´ Business Warehouse.

The Â鶹ԭ´´ sustainability solutions are focused on implementing product-level carbon accounting, to calculate carbon footprints for individual SKUs from cradle-to-grave. The aim is to optimize supply chain, power, and water and waste management.

“The robust, integrated Â鶹ԭ´´ system will help us review and improve our performance index across every activity. To enable this, we need accurate, activity-based, and component-wise data visibility,” continued Narasimhan.

“We have worked hard to do that—not only working with the Â鶹ԭ´´ master data but also capturing the sustainability impact. So, if we’re using new packaging, for example, we have the financial and supply chain data, but we also know what plastic is used, its recyclable quotient, and more. And component-wise, we will be able to identify the carbon impact at product SKU level, not just at the company level. Plus, the accuracy of the data offers huge potential for benefits in analytics, blockchain, and AI capabilities.”

Susanna Hasenoehrl, Head of Sustainability at Â鶹ԭ´´ Asia Pacific, said, “Making informed business decisions requires businesses to understand both the financial data and the sustainability data. Using Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Solutions, Himalaya is future-proofing its business to understand its impact on the world, to optimize supply chains, and differentiate its business against competitors.”

“The entire world is on your shoulders… We have to deliver. This is the beginning of a new computing age, the beginning of a new industrial revolution. All 100% on Â鶹ԭ´´.”

Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA

It’s the world’s company, building AI supercomputers made of more than 600,000 parts and delivering them to hundreds of the world’s most demanding customers. And, as NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang noted, “it’s all on Â鶹ԭ´´”.

The message from Â鶹ԭ´´ Sapphire 2024 in Orlando was clear. AI is not only the future, it is here today. And now it’s time to use it.

But amid the hustle and bustle of the event, there were lots of nuggets that you may have missed. So, with one eye on the benefits for Asia Pacific and Japan, here are my key learnings from Sapphire.

You can’t win in AI alone – you need a best-in-class ecosystem

The opportunity for AI in the Asia Pacific region is vast. According to , the Business AI market in APJ is expected to grow by more than 26% to $28 billion by 2027.

While the opportunity is huge, so are the choices for your business. That’s why Â鶹ԭ´´ is partnering with enterprise tech and industry leaders to push the limits of what generative AI can do for customers.

In addition to our expanded collaborations withÌýAWSÌýand Microsoft, we announced new large language models with Mistral AI, a partnership with Meta to use Llama 3 in Â鶹ԭ´´ Analytics Cloud, and an expansion of our partnership with Google Cloud to integrate Joule with Google Cloud’s Gemini AI assistant and Google Cloud Cortex Framework’s data foundation.

And that’s not all. As Mr Huang noted on-stage, Â鶹ԭ´´ and NVIDIA are working together on aÌýÌýto embed cutting-edge technologies into enterprise-ready business applications. That means Joule working with NVIDIA’s state-of-the-art AI models, integrating GenAI into Â鶹ԭ´´ and NVIDIA code generation, and simulating complex manufacturing products and configurations as industrial digital twins.

There’s no cookie cutter approach to making the most of Business AI. That’s why we believe the strength of our AI ecosystem means customers get the very best choices to drive AI benefits unique to their needs.

Keeping clean in the cloud

The benefits of AI can only really be achieved in the cloud. Best practice is what Â鶹ԭ´´ calls a ‘clean core’ – cloud-based ERP infrastructure that separate core applications from custom modifications. The result is a platform that can be easily and quickly upgraded with new capabilities, allowing agile innovation.

Takuya Sakai, general manager of the Digital Transformation Business Group atÌý, was clear about the benefits of simplification and a clean core. In 2019, Hitachi High-Tech had 9,000 add-ons across its Â鶹ԭ´´ systems, resulting in lots of custom code, errors, and large operational costs every year. The cost of change meant the company only completed a major update once in 12 years.

Moving to the cloud and a clean core solved these issues. With a new system based on S/4HANA Cloud Cloud, Hitachi High-Tech reduced its 9,000 add-ons to just 750, allowing it to easily upgrade its ERP core. “Upgrading our old ERP took about a year and a half from the planning stage,” Sakai said. “However, with clean core, we can now do an upgrade every year in about 40 days.”

And that change means Hitachi High-Tech can plan to take advantage of new innovations more simply. “An upgrade every year keeps the clean core fresh and means new features can be delivered to our business quickly, like AI or process automation,” concluded Sakai.

You can spell sustainability without ‘ERP’… but you shouldn’t

The benefits of Â鶹ԭ´´ innovation are not only financial. They drive real environmental value. And that’s critical in Asia, where we are responsible for more than half of the world’s emissions.

Sustainability and business performance are intrinsically linked. In fact, we believe businesses have to start treating carbon like money by using an accounting system for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data that is as auditable, transparent and reliable as their financial data.

That means integrating sustainability data into cloud ERP.

And we can then take advantage of the huge innovation provided by Business AI. AI takes complex sustainability tasks reliant on ESG and ERP data and makes them automated and auditable. It enables companies to boost operational efficiency, improve transparency around supply chain emissions, design and plan more effectively, and automate time-consuming tasks.

For example, at Sapphire we launched AI-enabled Emissions Factor Mapping, boosting the speed and accuracy of carbon footprint calculations. And we enabled the automatic generation of ESG reports through AI all based on the data within Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Control Tower. This not only streamlines the reporting process but also helps ensure that the data is reliable and actionable, providing a clear picture of a company’s sustainability performance.

Beyond hype to real-world results through real-world AIÌý

It’s easy to get carried away by AI hype and excitement. But what I saw at Sapphire was even more exciting – Business AI that makes a real difference to business problems.

Our opportunity across Asia is enormous. But it’s one we can make the most of, especially if we bring together the benefits of best-in-class ecosystems, a clean core, and a focus on sustainable innovation.

Germany and Bangkok, Thailand — Apr. 25, 2024 — (NYSE: Â鶹ԭ´´) today announced Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company LimitedÌý (“CP Foods”) has selected multiple Â鶹ԭ´´ solutions to drive further growth, competitive advantage, and to ensure the sustainability of their products for the future.

A leading integrated agro-industrial and food business that is one of the world’s largest producers of feed, shrimp, poultry, and pork, CP Foods has operations in 17 countries and exports to more than 50 countries. Catering to more than 4 billion people globally, CP Foods is embarking on its next stage of digital transformation with RISE with Â鶹ԭ´´, Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Footprint Management, Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Control Tower, and Â鶹ԭ´´ Environment Management, to future-proof its business and gain strategic insight into the sustainability impact of its products, processes and infrastructure globally.

Global Net-Zero Ambitions

In line with CP Foods’ goal of becoming the “Sustainable Kitchen of the World”, CP Foods is the first food processing company in the world with near- and long-term forests, lands, and agriculture (FLAG) sustainability targets validated by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). By implementing Â鶹ԭ´´ sustainability solutions to record, report, and act on real-time sustainability data, drive carbon accounting at both corporate and product level, CP Foods is looking to realize the company’s of reducing 42% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 30.3% of Scope 3 by emissions 2030 – and 90% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 72% of Scope 3 emissions by 2050.

“Net Zero is the only solution to climate change,” noted Prasit Boondoungprasert, Chief Executive Officer of CP Foods. “It is important to us to understand and reduce our impact on the planet so we create food that is not only safe and nutritious for people but also green and clean for the earth. Feeding our livestock, farming our food, and transporting it to people’s plates incurs emissions we have to be able to record and report. With RISE with Â鶹ԭ´´ and Â鶹ԭ´´ sustainability solutions, we will have insight into actual emissions automated in real-time rather than relying on manual averages, allowing us to make quick, informed, and sustainable business decisions for our operations, and for the planet.”

Â鶹ԭ´´ will provide a technology foundation that will support CP Foods in complying with forthcoming carbon regulations in various markets, including the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU C-BAM) and US SEC climate risk disclosures.

Key to reducing CP Foods’s total emissions will be a focus on supply chain emissions, with CPF’s emissions mostly falling under Scope 3. Working with Â鶹ԭ´´ Services, YASH Technologies to harness its sustainability expertise, and building on Amazon Web Services (AWS), CPF will implement Â鶹ԭ´´ sustainability solutions to record and report on its Scope 1 and 2 emissions in Thailand, and select Scope 3 (3.1 and 3.4) for its feed business in Thailand covering both FLAG and non-FLAG emissions. The next phase of implementation will extend its scope to cover operations around the world.

Cloud Sustainability

Paul Marriott, President of Â鶹ԭ´´ Asia Pacific & Japan, said, “Sustainability is a huge opportunity for businesses across Asia. Using RISE with Â鶹ԭ´´ and our sustainability solutions, CPF is not only getting ahead of forthcoming emissions regulation, it is also future-proofing its business by using data to make more sustainable decisions. It can use those insights to drive more operational efficiencies, optimise supply chains, and differentiate its business against competitors.”

Implements Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Control Tower & Â鶹ԭ´´ Datasphere to improve and automate climate related data capture and understand its obligations

Sydney — MarchÌý5, 2024Ìý—ÌýÌýtoday announced Queensland government-owned transmission network service provider,Ìý, has implementedÌý, to improve data capture and reporting for climate and other essential ESG reporting.

Powerlink is a leading Australian provider of high voltage electricity transmission network services, providing electricity via a network that extends 1,700 kilometres (km) from Cairns to the New South Wales border, and comprises 15,345 circuit km of transmission lines and 147 substations.

The organisation has a core role as part of the Queensland Government’sÌýQueensland Energy and Jobs PlanÌýto transform Queensland’s energy system to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

This role and other changes in industry have driven Powerlink to embark on a multi-year digital transformation focused on the modernisation and automation of systems, which has included the successful implementation of Â鶹ԭ´´ S/4 HANA and Â鶹ԭ´´ Analytics Cloud. This journey with Â鶹ԭ´´ has continued with the expansion to other products to enable data driven decision-making such as Â鶹ԭ´´ Datasphere and Sustainability Control Tower (SCT).

Powerlink has implemented Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Control Tower to accurately track data and sustainability ambitions across its supply chain aligned to Queensland climate targets and Australian legislative reporting requirements to enable the transition to low-carbon business processes.

Towards the end of 2024, Powerlink is also implementingÌýÌýto support the recruitment, hiring, training, and development of its workforce as it grows to meet changing business requirements.

Mark Pozdena, General Manager of Business IT & Digital Delivery at Powerlink, says, “Powerlink is focused on connecting Queenslanders to a world-class energy future and as our company transforms to do this, the technology we use day-to-day needs to change too, including the tools we use to understand our business and obligations.

“With strategic partnerships like our one with Â鶹ԭ´´, our internal teams’ expertise has grown our data maturity and capabilities significantly, which is critical to help plan our work and future, supporting the delivery of Queensland’s clean energy future”.

The Australian Government has committed to ensuring greater visibility in climate-related risk and opportunity for large businesses with proposed mandatory climate-related financial reporting to be publicly available.

Leigh Pickering, Executive General Manager, People & Corporate Services at Powerlink, says, “By implementing Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Control Tower, we can improve the accuracy and traceability of this vital reporting on greenhouse gas emissions and are better positioned to meet our reporting commitments to the government”.

Angela Colantuono, President and Managing Director, Â鶹ԭ´´ Australia and New Zealand, says, “Â鶹ԭ´´ believes technology has a critical role to play in helping organisations become intelligent and sustainable enterprises, but only by recording, reporting, and acting on actual sustainability data can organisations deliver tangible outcomes.

“By modernising its systems with Â鶹ԭ´´, Powerlink Queensland is empowering its workers with the tools and data to work more efficiently and make more informed decisions. It’s also providing the foundations for the organisation to build the digital infrastructure required for a clean energy future.”

Powerlink plans to continue to build out its capabilities within Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Control Tower, creating stronger traceability and accountability within its supply chain aligned to its climate targets.

Â鶹ԭ´´ JAPAN — March 5 — Matsumoto Precision Inc., a precision machine parts processing company, has adopted Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Footprint Management to provide information on CO2 emissions per product to its business partners.

The company, which processes pneumatic control components, automotive parts, and more from its headquarters in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, implemented the solution in partnership with Accenture to improve the environmental and economic value of Matsumoto Precision’s products. Accenture supported the implementation of the solution and the calculation of CO2 emissions for each product.

“Green transformation is a central tenet of Matsumoto Precision’s core strategy,” said Toshitada Matsumoto, President and Representative Director of Matsumoto Precision Co. “Our aim is to realise our vision of running ‘The Sustainable Factory’, including self-sufficiency in electricity through solar power and purchase of electricity with non-fossil certificates. Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Footprint Management enables us to record, report, and act on CO2 emissions on a per-product basis, giving us and our partners better insight into the environmental impact of our businesses.”

Matsumoto Precision is the first company to benefit from the Connected Manufacturing Enterprise (CME) platform, a common business system created by Â鶹ԭ´´ Japan and Accenture to improve the productivity of small and medium-size(SME) manufacturing. The CME platform is a cloud-based service standardising business systems for SME manufacturing companies, incorporating a regional ERP platform consisting of various templates developed by Accenture based on Â鶹ԭ´´ S/4HANA®.

The company began using the CME platform in April 2021 to standardise its business processes. The use of Â鶹ԭ´´ S/4HANA has improved productivity by approximately 30% and has increased the speed of management decision-making.

With the adoption of Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Footprint Management, the company has now started providing information on CO2 emissions per product to its business partners.

“Environmental insight isn’t just important for businesses, but across every organisation in the value chain aiming to reduce CO2 emissions,” said Hirofumi Suzuki, President and Managing Director of Â鶹ԭ´´ Japan. “Matsumoto Precision add value and differentiate what they sell by promptly providing information on CO2 emissions at product level.Ìý Â鶹ԭ´´ is proud to support Matsumoto Precision on its green transformation journey, ultimately improving both the environment and society.”

Although the company had been working to visualise CO2 emissions at the plant level it had not been able to do so on a product-by-product basis. Â鶹ԭ´´ Sustainability Footprint Management calculates CO2 emissions for every product based on the individual manufacturing performance information already available in Â鶹ԭ´´ S/4HANA.

“To achieve both environmental and economic values, a Digital transformation platform is indispensable. ÌýThis project was realised in a short period of time through the use of Â鶹ԭ´´ S/4HANA, which helped to standardize the operations from production to procurement to sales,” continued Toshitada Matsumoto. “We look forward to working with the entire value chain in Japan, including small, medium and large enterprises, to enhance the competitiveness of Japan as a whole.”

“By visualising carbon footprints, companies and consumers can choose low-carbon products and services, and contribute to the realisation of a decarbonised society,” said Joichi Ebihara, Sustainability Group Japan Lead at Accenture Japan. “To achieve this ambition, collaboration between companies and across the enterprise is a must. We hope our collaboration with Â鶹ԭ´´ can serve as example to others in region and around the world.”

Amy Cravens, Research Manager, GRC and ESG Management and Reporting Technologies at IDC, noted, “Organisations are increasingly seeking to derive and measure business value from their sustainability initiatives and product-based carbon foot printing is an important tool in achieving that goal. A recent IDC study (August 2023) found that one-third of respondents identified carbon emissions monitoring software as one of the most efficient tools in enabling an organisation’s business objectives.”

Sustainability isn’t just the right thing to do for the good of the planet, it is the right thing to do for the financial performance of your business.

A recent Â鶹ԭ´´ study revealed that 70% of Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) businesses see a moderate to strong relationship between sustainability and their organisation’s competitiveness.

Introducing the APJ Sustainability Champions

These businesses, called APJ Sustainability Champions, are more likely than their counterparts to achieve both environmental and financial outcomes.

The study, which surveyed 1,300 respondents across APJ, found APJ Sustainability Champions are almost twice as likely as companies who don’t see a strong relationship between sustainability and competitiveness to have achieved significant revenue and profit results in the past year.

Over half (58%) of the APJ Sustainability Champions saw revenue growth of more than 6% compared to just 37% of other businesses. Similarly, while 62% of APJ Sustainability Champions experienced profit of over 6% in the past year, just 35% of companies who don’t link sustainability and competitiveness could say the same.

That success is expected to continue. Significantly higher numbers of APJ Sustainability Champions are predicting more than 10% growth in revenue (36%) and profit (41%) in 2024 compared to other companies (16% and 17% respectively).

How are APJ Sustainability Champions driving financial outcomes from sustainability?

There are three key ways APJ Sustainability Champions behave differently to other organisations that help them unlock sustainability as tangible profit drivers.

  1. APJ Sustainability Champions measure in actuals not averages

APJ Sustainability Champions are significantly more likely to use real sustainability data rather than averages and estimates.

Nine in ten (89%) APJ Sustainability Champions collect energy and emissions data by direct measurement compared to 72% of other businesses. By using actual data instead of averages, businesses can utilise accurate numbers when it comes to making core decisions for the business.

This is an area when more businesses in APJ businesses can improve. Based on our survey, the Asia Pacific and Japan region trails the rest of the world when it comes to directly measuring energy consumption and emissions (79% in APJ vs. 83% globally), resource availability (76% vs. 79%), and materials use (71% vs. 76%).

  1. APJ Sustainability Champions integrate sustainability into decision-making

Almost six in ten (59%) APJ Sustainability Champions use sustainability data to inform strategic and operational decision-making to a strong degree, compared to just 25% of other businesses. Just one per cent do not use sustainability data in decision-making at all.

This requires conscious effort to make sustainability fundamental to organisational processes. Integrating sustainability into accounting and ERP systems into the business at every level of operations creates a ‘green ledger’.

This allows businesses to understand and view exactly where emissions are occurring in order to set achievable targets and to identify areas which would benefit most from decarbonisation.

  1. APJ Sustainability Champions record broadly and share sustainability data across their ecosystem

APJ Sustainability Champions are experienced collecting sustainability data, with 65% of APJ Sustainability Champions collecting data for more than five years.

But they also cast their nets wide, measuring data for energy consumption and emissions (79%), air pollution (66%), and resource availability (60%). Almost half (49%) of APJ Sustainability Champions expressed complete satisfaction with the data quality they collect, compared to just 8% of other businesses.

But, more than that, they know sustainability isn’t an issue for their organisation alone. Scope 3 emissions are accrued across your entire supply chain, and require proactive, transparent action to monitor and manage.

APJ Sustainability Champions expect to exchange sustainability data across their ecosystem. Almost half (48%) of APJ Sustainability Champions require sustainability data from suppliers, compared to just 22% of other businesses.

It’s time to harness sustainability data for the health of our planet and our businesses

APJ is the world’s largest carbon emitter, and also home to many fast-growing economies. The region not only has the most to lose from the effects of climate change, but also the biggest opportunity for businesses who link sustainability to their organisational performance.

The example of the APJ Sustainability Champions should act as a clear call to action for businesses across APJ to measure real sustainability data, integrate it into their core businesses via a green ledger, and share sustainability data across their ecosystem.

Sustainability and business growth isn’t an either-or challenge. It’s a win-win.

90% of Indonesian businesses see positive relationship between sustainability and profitability, above Asia Pacific and Japan average

 

JAKARTA – 5 December 2023 – Indonesian organisations say their overall business performance is intrinsically linked to treating sustainability as a strategic priority – and are boosting their investments as a result.

A recent study by Â鶹ԭ´´ (NYSE: Â鶹ԭ´´) found on average 90% of Indonesian businesses see a moderate to strong relationship between sustainability and their organisation’s profitability, while 91% noted a relationship between sustainability and competitiveness, ahead of results across Asia Pacific and Japan (71% competitiveness, 68% profitability).

That impact on business outcomes is driving investment. In Indonesia, 66% of businesses intend to increase their investments in sustainability over the next three years, indicating a strong relationship between sustainability and business priorities.

Sustainable Indonesian businesses drive growth in the top line, bottom line, and green line

The study, which surveyed 250 people in Indonesia, found that 93 per cent of Indonesia businesses saw sustainability strategies contributing to outcomes like revenue or profit growth to a moderate or strong degree. Similarly, 92% of Indonesian respondents saw a moderate or strong increase in the efficiency of business processes from sustainability activities.

More than half (55%) of Indonesian businesses expect to demonstrate a positive financial return on their sustainability investments within the next five years, compared to 61% of global respondents.

“Sustainability can no longer be considered separately to the wider financial performance of the business because it is increasingly clear that more sustainable organisations are more successful organisations,” said Gina McNamara, Regional Chief Financial Officer, Â鶹ԭ´´ Asia Pacific and Japan.

“Already, 2% of Indonesian businesses say sustainability is material to their business results, and another 36% say it will be within five years. Now is the time to combine financial and environmental decision-making in every business process, so we treat carbon data the same way we treat financial data.”

Yet, challenges remain. The lack environmental impact strategy is the top barrier to taking environmental action with 42% of Indonesian businesses finding it a challenge, above the global average of 32%. Other notable issues include uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (40%), doubtfulness about ability to measure impact on the environment (34%), and a lack of clarity on how potential actions would align with organizational strategy (32%).

Indonesian businesses looking to unlock the value of sustainability dataÌý

Extracting value from sustainability data will be key to enabling Indonesian businesses to prove return on investment.

40% of Indonesian businesses are completely satisfied with the quality of the sustainability data they gather, up 10 points from last year (30%) and above the global mark of 23%.

However, there remains work to do to measure sustainability data directly, rather than rely on assumptions and estimates. Indonesian businesses trail the rest of the world when it comes to directly measuring water pollution (23% in Indonesia vs. 31% globally), air pollution (11% vs. 13%), and nature loss (18% vs. 22%).

“If our sustainability data is not complete then the decisions we make to improve the health of our planet and our businesses are cast into doubt,” continued McNamara. “The key is to record and report accurate, granular, and auditable sustainability data and integrate it with financial data to make the right business decisions.”

Indonesian businesses are utilising sustainability data across their ecosystem

That becomes particularly important considering Indonesian businesses are using sustainability data to make decisions today. Nine in ten (92%) of Indonesian businesses use sustainability data to inform strategic and operational decision-making to a moderate to strong degree. Just 1% do not use sustainability data in decision-making at all.

Yet, there are encouraging signs of progress. Eight in ten (84%) of Indonesian businesses report moderate or strong tracking of Scope 1 emissions, while that number is 81% for Scope 2 emissions, and 80% for Scope 3 emissions.

Similarly, Indonesian businesses are making sustainability demands across their ecosystem. More than three-quarters (84%) of respondents said they require sustainability data from their suppliers and 82% demand environmental impact data from partners like logistics and fulfilment to a moderate to strong degree.

“The benefits of integrating sustainability data and outcomes into the core business are clear,” concluded McNamara. “But there’s still so much more to do. Working with a technology partner like Â鶹ԭ´´ will help more businesses measure actual sustainability data, act on it strategically, and drive competitiveness, profit, and revenue themselves.”

Â鶹ԭ´´ mengungkapkan peningkatan investasi di Indonesia pada solusi teknologi keberlanjutan yang didorong oleh daya saing dan keuntungan profitabilitasÌý

90% bisnis di Indonesia melihat hubungan positif antara keberlanjutan dan profitabilitas, di atas rata-rata Asia Pasifik dan Jepang

JAKARTA – 5 Desember 2023 – Perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia menyatakan bahwa kinerja bisnis mereka secara keseluruhan terkait erat dengan memberlakukan keberlanjutan sebagai prioritas strategis yang menghasilkan peningkatan investasi.

Sebuah studi terbaru dari Â鶹ԭ´´ (NYSE: Â鶹ԭ´´) menemukan bahwa rata-rata 90% bisnis di Indonesia melihat adanya hubungan yang moderat hingga kuat antara keberlanjutan dan profitabilitas organisasi mereka sementara 91% mencatat adanya hubungan antara keberlanjutan dan daya saing. Angka ini lebih tinggi daripada hasil di seluruh Asia Pasifik dan Jepang (71% daya saing, 68% profitabilitas).

Dampaknya terhadap hasil bisnis mendorong investasi. Di Indonesia, 66% perusahaan berniat untuk meningkatkan investasi mereka di bidang keberlanjutan dalam tiga tahun ke depan, yang mengindikasikan adanya hubungan yang kuat antara keberlanjutan dan prioritas bisnis.

Bisnis Indonesia yang berkelanjutan mendorong pertumbuhan di lini atas, lini bawah, dan lini hijauÌý

Studi yang melakukan survei pada 250 orang di Indonesia menemukan bahwa 93% bisnis di Indonesia melihat strategi keberlanjutan memberikan kontribusi positif pada hasil seperti pertumbuhan pendapatan atau laba pada tingkat sedang atau kuat. Bahkan, 92% responden Indonesia melihat adanya peningkatan moderat atau kuat dalam efisiensi proses bisnis dari kegiatan keberlanjutan.

Lebih dari separuh (55%) perusahaan di Indonesia berharap dapat menunjukkan keuntungan finansial yang positif dari investasi keberlanjutan mereka dalam lima tahun ke depan, dibandingkan dengan 61% responden global.

“Keberlanjutan tidak dapat lagi dianggap terpisah dari kinerja keuangan bisnis yang lebih luas karena semakin jelas bahwa organisasi yang lebih berkelanjutan adalah organisasi yang lebih sukses,” kata Gina McNamara, Regional Chief Financial Officer, Â鶹ԭ´´ Asia Pacific and Japan.

“Saat ini, 2% bisnis di Indonesia menyatakan bahwa keberlanjutan merupakan hal yang penting bagi hasil bisnis mereka, dan 36% lainnya menyatakan bahwa hal tersebut akan menjadi penting dalam lima tahun ke depan. Sekarang adalah waktunya untuk menggabungkan pengambilan keputusan keuangan dan lingkungan dalam setiap proses bisnis, jadi kami memperlakukan data karbon sama seperti kami memperlakukan data keuangan.”

Meskipun begitu, masih ada beberapa tantangan yang harus dihadapi. Kurangnya strategi dampak lingkungan merupakan penghalang utama dalam mengambil tindakan hijau dengan 42% perusahaan di Indonesia menganggap hal tersebut sebagai tantangan, angka ini berada di atas rata-rata dunia yang hanya terhitung 32%. Masalah penting lainnya termasuk ketidakpastian yang disebabkan oleh pandemi COVID-19 (40%), keraguan terhadap kemampuan untuk mengukur dampak terhadap lingkungan (34%), dan kurangnya kejelasan tentang bagaimana tindakan potensial akan selaras dengan strategi organisasi (32%).

Bisnis Indonesia menargetkan pendapatan nilai dari data keberlanjutan

Mengekstrak nilai dari data keberlanjutan akan menjadi kunci untuk memungkinkan bisnis Indonesia membuktikan laba atas investasi.

Sebanyak 40% perusahaan di Indonesia merasa sangat puas dengan kualitas data keberlanjutan yang mereka kumpulkan, naik 10 poin dari tahun lalu (30%) dan berada di atas angka global sebesar 23%.

Namun, masih banyak pekerjaan yang harus dilakukan untuk mengukur data keberlanjutan secara langsung tanpa mengandalkan asumsi dan perkiraan. Perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia masih tertinggal dari perusahaan-perusahaan lain di dunia dalam hal mengukur polusi air secara langsung (23% di Indonesia vs. 31% di dunia), polusi udara (11% vs. 13%), dan kerusakan alam (18% vs. 22%).

“Jika data keberlanjutan kita tidak lengkap, maka keputusan yang kita ambil untuk meningkatkan kesehatan planet dan bisnis kita akan diragukan,” lanjut McNamara. “Kuncinya adalah mencatat dan melaporkan data keberlanjutan yang akurat, terperinci, dan dapat diaudit, serta mengintegrasikannya dengan data keuangan untuk mengambil keputusan bisnis yang tepat.”

Bisnis di Indonesia menggunakan data keberlanjutan di seluruh ekosistem merekaÌý

Hal ini menjadi sangat penting mengingat bisnis di Indonesia menggunakan data keberlanjutan untuk mengambil keputusan saat ini. Sembilan dari sepuluh (92%) perusahaan di Indonesia menggunakan data keberlanjutan untuk menginformasikan pengambilan keputusan strategis dan operasional pada tingkat yang cukup kuat. Hanya 1% yang tidak menggunakan data keberlanjutan dalam pengambilan keputusan sama sekali.

Namun, ada tanda-tanda kemajuan yang positif. Delapan dari sepuluh (84%) perusahaan di Indonesia melaporkan bahwa mereka melakukan pelacakan emisi Cakupan 1 dengan tingkat sedang atau kuat, sementara itu, angka tersebut mencapai 81% untuk emisi Cakupan 2, dan 80% untuk emisi Cakupan 3.

Demikian pula, bisnis di Indonesia membuat tuntutan keberlanjutan di seluruh ekosistem mereka. Lebih dari tiga perempat (84%) responden mengatakan bahwa mereka membutuhkan data keberlanjutan dari pemasok mereka dan 82% meminta data dampak lingkungan dari mitra seperti logistik dan pemenuhan pada tingkat yang moderat hingga kuat.

“Manfaat mengintegrasikan data keberlanjutan dan hasil ke dalam bisnis inti sudah jelas,” pungkas McNamara. “Namun masih banyak hal yang harus dilakukan. Bekerja dengan mitra teknologi seperti Â鶹ԭ´´ akan membantu lebih banyak bisnis mengukur data keberlanjutan yang akurat, menindaklanjutinya secara strategis, dan mendorong daya saing, keuntungan, dan pendapatan mereka sendiri.”

71% of Asia Pacific and Japan businesses see relationship between sustainability and competitiveness, leading to 12 point increase in businesses increasing their investments

Singapore – 5 December 2023 – Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) organisations say their overall business performance is intrinsically linked to treating sustainability as a strategic priority – and are boosting their investments as a result.

A recent study by Â鶹ԭ´´ (NYSE: Â鶹ԭ´´) found APJ businesses see a moderate to strong relationship between sustainability and their organisation’s competitiveness (71%) and its profitability (68%), similar to global results (72% competitiveness, 68% profitability).

That impact on business outcomes is driving investment. In APJ, over half of businesses (51%) intend to increase their investments in sustainability over the next three years, up 12 points since last year (39%).

Sustainable APJ businesses drive growth in the top line, bottom line, and green line

The study, which surveyed 1300 people in five APJ markets, found almost three quarters (74%) of APJ businesses saw sustainability strategies contributing to outcomes like revenue or profit growth to a moderate or strong degree. Similarly, 77% of APJ respondents saw a moderate or strong increase in the efficiency of business processes from sustainability activities.

Half (50%) of APJ businesses expect to demonstrate a positive financial return on their sustainability investments within the next five years, compared to 61% of global respondents.

“Sustainability can no longer be considered separately to the wider financial performance of the business because it is increasingly clear that more sustainable organisations are more successful organisations,” said Gina McNamara, Regional Chief Financial Officer, Â鶹ԭ´´ Asia Pacific & Japan.

“Already, almost one in ten (9%) APJ businesses say sustainability is material to their business results, and another 32% say it will be within five years. Now is the time to combine financial and environmental decision-making in every business process, so we treat carbon data the same way we treat financial data.”

Yet, challenges remain. Difficulty proving return on investment is one of the top barriers to taking environmental action with 36% of APJ businesses finding it a challenge, above the global average of 33%. Other notable issues include lack of an environmental impact strategy (36%), COVID-19 uncertainty (34%), and lack of expertise (33%).

APJ businesses looking to unlock the value of sustainability data

Extracting value from sustainability data will be key to enabling APJ businesses to prove return on investment.

Just 23% of APJ businesses are completely satisfied with the quality of the sustainability data they gather, down from 27% last year and equalling the global mark of 23%.

This may be because there remains work to do to measure sustainability data directly, rather than rely on assumptions and estimates. APJ businesses trail the rest of the world when it comes to directly measuring energy consumption and emissions (79% in APJ vs. 83% globally), resource availability (76% vs. 79%), and materials use (71% vs. 76%).

“If our sustainability data is not complete then the decisions we make to improve the health of our planet and our businesses are cast into doubt,” continued McNamara. “The key is to record and report accurate, granular, and auditable sustainability data and integrate it with financial data to make the right business decisions.”

APJ businesses are utilising sustainability data across their ecosystem

That becomes particularly important considering APJ businesses are using sustainability data to make decisions today. Three quarters (75%) of APJ businesses use sustainability data to inform strategic and operational decision-making to a moderate or strong degree. Just two per cent do not use sustainability data in decision-making at all.

Yet, there are encouraging signs of progress. Over three quarters (76%) of APJ businesses report moderate or strong tracking of Scope 1 emissions, while that number is 70% for Scope 2 emissions, and 61% for Scope 3 emissions.

Similarly, APJ businesses are making sustainability demands across their ecosystem. To a moderate or strong degree, over seven in ten (72%) respondents said they require sustainability data from their suppliers and 69% demand environmental impact data from partners like logistics and fulfilment.

“The benefits of integrating sustainability data and outcomes into the core business are clear,” concluded McNamara. “But there’s still so much more to do. Working with a technology partner like Â鶹ԭ´´ will help more businesses measure actual sustainability data, act on it strategically, and drive competitiveness, profit, and revenue themselves.”

is India’s leading food and agri-tech company, using innovative food development and distribution technology to scale and operate a complex supply chain, from farm to fork. WayCool’s consumer brands basket consists of Madhuram, Kitchenji, L’exotique, Dezi Fresh and Freshey’s.

Since its inception in 2015, WayCool has focused strongly on its sustainability objective to deliver both positive impact and profitability. The company has invested in solar roof-top projects to harness green power as well as water treatment and reuse systems. These interventions across its operations have not only resulted in avoiding 120 tons of carbon emissions and saving 1,980 KL of fresh water, but also delivered economic savings of $12,500 in FY2022-23.

Focusing on innovation and efficient supply chain systems, WayCool has managed to restrict the food loss in its supply chain to less than 2%, compared to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) food loss projection of 14.7%. Furthermore, the company has electrified 22% of its last last-mile delivery fleet, covering 1.2 million kms and eliminating 289 tons of logistic carbon emissions. The company has a commitment to shift to 100% EVs in its last-mile delivery by 2030.

Mr. Srinidhi S. Rao, Head of ESG at WayCool Foods, said,Ìý“We have embedded environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices across our business process.”

 

Â鶹ԭ´´ helped WayCool embrace digital transformation in its sustainability journey through the design, development, and implementation of an environmental dashboard based on the Â鶹ԭ´´ Analytics platform.

The dashboard collects raw data from various disparate sources, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, transactional data from its Â鶹ԭ´´ enterprise resource planning system, and application databases, and converts it into productive insights to make informed business decisions.

It provides a comprehensive view of sustainability key performance indicators with over 90% accuracy across various parameters including clean energy generation, energy efficiency, water efficiency and treatment, and waste management. It also provides a fully-fledged greenhouse gas emissions measurement (GHG) to benchmark past and present performance, identify any anomalies, and holistically report sustainability performance.

“Our advanced analytics powered E&S dashboard has not only enabled us to visualize the ground level impact of our environment initiatives but, by publishing reliable real-time data, facilitates better decision-making backed by insights,” continued Mr. Rao. “This is a significant step in our net-zero journey as we continue to demonstrate how climate-smart initiatives can also add to profitability, making them business-smart too.”

 

The innovation was recognised by Â鶹ԭ´´ after WayCool won the ‘Sustainability Champion’ category at the 2022 Â鶹ԭ´´ ACE Awards.

In April 2023, the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with Â鶹ԭ´´ and Boston Consulting Group (BCG), published a new white paper – – detailing the impact of climate change on Asia, and the opportunities and best practices for businesses in the region.

Following are the key takeaways from the report.

What’s Happening in Asia?

As a region, Asia represents both the biggest impact on global emissions as well as potentially bearing the most significant challenges.

Asia contributes 51% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with China, India, Japan, Indonesia, and South Korea cumulatively accounting for 43% of the overall total alone. That has enormous impact on the rest of the world. The global supply chain relies strongly on Asian economies like China, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, and Malaysia, resulting in a significant interregional flow of embedded carbon emissions.

A by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stated that there is a 50% chance of temporarily breaching the 1.5°C global temperature threshold in the next five years. Developed countries like the United States and Australia have already implemented much-needed legislation to boost sustainable outcomes, while China, the world’s biggest carbon emitter, has recorded a decrease in carbon emissions in recent months. Despite these positive strides, a lot needs to be done, and it needs to be done quickly.

In Asia, existing policies and corporate responses are not proportional to the threat the region faces. Asia is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing and most diverse economies, resulting in an increasing demand for lower-cost energy. Yet it is predicted that a severe increase in global temperature of 3.2°C would see a reduction of Asia’s GDP by 26% by 2050 – the second most at risk region in the world.

Even at a 1.5 °C temperature increase, Asia is still expected to experience yearly coastal flooding impacting 60 million people, long-term degradation to 70% of coral reefs through bleaching, around 5% lower crop yields, and 1.8 times increase in heatwaves.

How Can Asia Adapt to and Mitigate the Effects of Climate Change?

It is important that Asian countries as a unit acknowledge that the world will continue to warm even if we achieve many of our climate goals. The goal then becomes to adapt to a warmer world, while continuing to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Adaptation does not mean accepting defeat when it comes to mitigating climate change. Instead, combining adaptation and mitigation offers both the ability to better deal with future risks while driving emissions down. That means it’s critical to continue investing in energy infrastructure, decarbonizing supply chains, slowing GHG emissions, and removing existing GHGs from the atmosphere.

The drive to adapt and mitigate climate change should not be seen as a cost for businesses to bear. It is an opportunity.

There are significant new opportunities available for Asian businesses to benefit from climate action. Globally, revenues of up to USD$10.1 trillion is on offer from climate-focused business activities. Of that opportunity, Asia could realize a 43% share of total global opportunity, totaling USD$4.3 trillion from ideas like the expansion of nature-positive renewables, energy-efficient buildings, organic food and beverages, waste management, and reducing food and water loss in the value chain.

What Can Asian Corporates Do?

At a corporate level, there has been an encouraging acceleration in the number and scale of commitments and in reporting on climate action initiatives. In 2021, 3,879 companies in Asia disclosed their climate targets and emissions through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) – a 29% increase year-on-year.

Yet there’s more to do. Only around 900 of those companies have thus far adopted science-based targets, and just 300 (8%) have net-zero targets. There is also work to be done to turn commitments into action, with only 38% of companies reporting that they are following a specific low-carbon transition plan.

Turning ambition into action requires a strategic focus and a defined short-, medium-, and long-term plan. Based on regional best practices, Â鶹ԭ´´ and BCG created a corporate climate action framework that details:
