SAS® for Sustainability Management
Predict and respond to environmental, social, and economic risks and opportunities
Organizational performance now requires sustainability measures across social, environmental and economic factors, which in turn requires the vital steps of integrating and analyzing data to achieve new goals and transform internal organizational cultures.
The most strategic enterprises will use data, and the intelligence gained from it, to their competitive advantage – driving increased brand value through innovation, improving internal efficiencies and accountability, and engendering loyalty of consumers, employees and other stakeholders.
SAS for Sustainability Management enables an organization to measure, manage and report on the Triple Bottom Line – environmental, social and economic indicators – and determine business strategies that reduce risk and increase shareholder value. With SAS you can:
- Measure key sustainability activities using industry-accepted methodologies and protocols. You can trust the quality of data and resulting analysis from SAS' award-winning data integration and analytics capabilities, which leverage your existing investments in operational systems and databases.
- Report ongoing performance to ensure transparency with key stakeholders and compliance with regulatory agencies. By establishing an integrated, consistent source of quality information, you can bind initiatives to a common sustainability framework that allows alignment across all lines of business – from the data center to the water treatment facility.
- Improve performance by identifying the metrics that have the greatest impact on goal attainment so you can make the most informed strategic decisions. Apply the power of SAS optimization, forecasting and data mining capabilities to analyze scenarios and run simulations to improve response and successful strategy execution.
- Manage and forecast the finances and resources needed to achieve the desired outcomes across the enterprise and within each department. Prioritize organizational strategies and align investments in new product innovation, program development and talent accordingly. Establish scorecards and strategy maps driven by the sustainability goals of the organization.
