The company's report shows that air travel continues to be their largest reduction opportunity, as it is the largest contributor to their overall footprint, with the impact of their corporate fleet not far behind.
SAP feels that the key to reducing their impact in both of these areas is employee engagement - encouraging employees to adjust their behavior by such actions as using telepresence instead of flying and using transit as opposed to company vehicles for intercity travel. To this end, they will be providing employees insight into their individual emission contributions via an internal dashboard for greater transparency and accountability.
