Accenture and SAP are expanding their decades-long partnership to help companies embed sustainability across the full spectrum of their business operations - from strategy to execution - to unlock new value throughout their enterprises and in their value and supply chains.

Combining SAP technology with Accenture's Sustainability Services and broad industry knowledge, the partners are expanding their alliance to jointly create new solutions that can empower companies to accelerate their progress on fully de-carbonizing their supply chains and capture their share of the projected $4.5 trillion economic growth that the circular economy could bring.

Through this extended partnership, Accenture and SAP plan to co-innovate and co-develop SAP's new solution for responsible production and design, which includes capabilities that help companies embed sustainability metrics across their value and supply chains with a focus on product design and manufacturing.

"Our work together will enable SAP's customers, which include 92% of the Forbes Global 2000, to use their core systems to help drive their sustainability agenda, optimize their ESG performance and achieve their goals," said Julie Sweet, chief executive officer at Accenture.

"To successfully tackle the greatest threat to our world today, we need to collaborate at every level of business and society," said Christian Klein, chief executive officer at SAP. "Building on our long-standing and trusted partnership, SAP and Accenture are joining forces to help our customers realize long-term growth in a sustainable way."

This collaboration is the latest in a series of initiatives from Accenture and SAP that help businesses capture value from sustainability.
