SAP’s Chief Sustainability Officer prioritizes action over moral persuasion for your company

Reading Time: 2 minutes

SAP Chief Sustainability Officer Sophia Mendelsohn is on a mission to drive change within the corporate world towards a more sustainable future. With a career spanning various roles in sustainability, Mendelsohn’s passion for the environment was ignited during her first job in China, where she witnessed the devastating effects of pollution on people’s health.

Mendelsohn understands that to make a real impact, companies need to see the economic benefits of sustainability initiatives. She believes in incentivizing businesses to make changes that benefit not only the environment but also their bottom line. This approach has guided her through her roles at JetBlue and Cognizant, and now at SAP.

At SAP, Mendelsohn is leading the charge towards carbon neutrality by 2030, two decades ahead of the company’s original goals. Through initiatives like the Sustainability Control Tower, SAP is helping customers track their progress towards sustainability goals and reduce their carbon footprint.

While SAP has made significant progress in reducing its own carbon emissions through a combination of renewable energy and carbon offsets, Mendelsohn acknowledges the challenges ahead. The reliance on carbon offsets, especially for emissions outside the company’s direct control, presents a complex issue that requires careful management.

As Mendelsohn navigates the intersection of sustainability and profitability, she faces the challenge of convincing non-European customers to embrace sustainability beyond mere compliance. With the support of tools like the Sustainability Control Tower and a commitment to transparency, Mendelsohn is determined to lead SAP and its customers towards a more sustainable future.

In a world where sustainability is increasingly becoming good business, Mendelsohn’s efforts at SAP are not only shaping the company’s future but also setting a precedent for the industry as a whole. As she continues to advocate for sustainability, Mendelsohn’s impact reaches far beyond the walls of SAP, inspiring change on a global scale.
