"For some it is enough to simply do the bare minimum in order to remain compliant. Other organisations may want to embed sustainability in their processes to create efficiency and drive profitability. A growing number of organisations, however, use sustainability as a driving force to innovate and build desirability with eco-conscious consumers who are happy to pay more for a product or service if it is truly environmentally-friendly."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">Step 2: Benchmark:</span> "It's important to get a baseline knowledge of your organisation's current level of sustainability. Use analytics to generate insights from your primary and secondary data relating to your ESG efforts, especially as they relate to Governance, Planet & Climate Change, People and Prosperity."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">Step 3: Focus:</span> Once organisations know their current state, it is vital they choose where to focus their sustainability efforts to gain maximum benefit. "Decide where you want to focus and implement real-time tracking of your progress against your success metrics. This will enable effective decision-making throughout your sustainability journey."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">Step 4:</span> Tell: When organisations change their operations and processes to become more sustainable, it can have a direct impact on their employees, partners and suppliers. "Ensure you communicate regularly and transparently with everyone in your organisation as well your partners and suppliers to ensure everyone across your supply chain is on board."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">Step 5: Measure:</span> There's an old adage that states 'you can't manage what you can't measure, and this rings true for sustainability efforts. "Monitor your progress and make changes in a pragmatic and systematic way. Becoming more sustainable is a journey that requires you take consistent and regular steps forward."</span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv1975057160galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #1d2228; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; text-align: justify; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv1975057160galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; text-align: justify; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="" class="yiv1975057160 yiv1975057160editor-col yiv1975057160OneColumnMobile" style="word-break: normal;" valign="top" width="100%"><div class="yiv1975057160gl-contains-text"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="yiv1975057160editor-text yiv1975057160editor-text " style="color: #403f42; display: block; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 20px; text-align: left; word-break: normal;" valign="top"><div></div><div class="yiv1975057160text-container yiv1975057160galileo-ap-content-editor"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-style: italic;">Distributed by </span><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018badJoMcuSoi8Q3cd3PUqzUDwpoyvTSimH4PGXOd7Wo0jTgCp__rN0vHpdYsluEKdf_HMZH1LA6cniapsXIfChNCbUcOsRxPkHGQVeLyAESoW3kDiysMpLwNxyhjHPTuyMiKWO4bvt5IoHzAbHp187YniKZaNSRv2krioHSowPfDp46Hv_GiAlt8Ho6g2qbea_NvmF_4PBO4GUNLST2MEo04HUjH_oid&c=uD2UCqnAiGJhtFe1J0qtvohycuzsY8A2_Cs3z3jvZCk31sVTeZ88iQ==&ch=aTP4-V17S-KkhdtgDSKJWLuH4TfABSIUf6iisJh_iUvt42SNjG-2Qw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: blue; font-style: italic;" target="_blank">African Media Agency (AMA)</a><span style="color: black; font-style: italic;"> on behalf of SAP Africa.</span></span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr></tbody></table>
