The global economy has long relied on a linear and single-use model, causing resource depletion and environmental pollution. It’s time to collectively shift towards a circular economy. This will not only protect our planet but also open new business opportunities. At SAP, we use technology to enable transparency and collaboration – essential elements on the road to a more sustainable future.
