Reading time: 5 min

As SAP partner we invited professionals responsible for sustainability agenda in their companies from manufacturing, banking, insurance, telco, logistics sectors to meet us and our experienced sustainability partners in live events in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius. The 1st live Baltic roadshow on sustainability topics “Sustainability with SAP: Chasing Zero” was organized in Jun 14-16, 2022. Special thanks to event partners: SAP, msg global, ELLE.

“I would like to start from an analogy. You have probably seen the film “Fight Club” with Brad Pitt? And the 1st rule of fight club was: don’t talk about “Fight Club”. And what was the 2nd rule? Yes, never talk about “Fight Club”. As far as sustainability is concered all is totally the other way around. Everybody is talking about sustainability right now…Today’s agenda is about general topics: why we need this and practical examples will be demonstrated how to deal with sustainability issues in future…” Ainars Bemberis, SAP Latvia

ECOnomics: Bringing profit and planet together by Tiina Antturi | Head of Sustainability in SAP Nordics and Baltics>>

“…Sustainability is a very huge area and very complicated if you take it a whole but you need to start…with one corner…There is a very good understanding on what we can do with some of the stuff but it’s not only regularaty, the reporting or legal stuff…you can also start to innovate, create new processes and new services, new products that are sustainable, that are actually helping our children, their children to have a future…” Tiina Antturi

Approaching Sustainable Business Systematically by Maris Svilans | CEO, SIA Infotrust>>

For the past 20 years, Maris has been advising clients on how to use SAP BusinessObjects to transform data into reliable information. Along with the growth of SAP in the Baltics, the Infotrust team has also grown and Maris manages its Riga office.

“…agree with your stakeholders what you want to change using those metrics, start measuring it. Once you start measuring you can manage it… so to see – are we going the right direction. And then it is also important to communicate to your colleagues – this is a goal we a going, this is our progress. And share the insights to be able to make daily decisions based on these metrics. I think this is a quite short recipe how to approach ESG sustainability in a systematic way…” Maris Svilans, Infotrust

“..it doesn’t have to be…like “save the world”. Definitely, it’s not a target – “to save the world”. You do what you can and the most important that you can measure it. Otherwise, it doesn’t make much sense.” Jūlija Doktorova, ELLE
