Managing day-to-day operations while balancing shifting compliance regulations can be a challenge for even the best-run business. Companies operating globally face even greater challenges managing multiple regulations and navigating cultural differences. With the added pressures of being environmentally responsible, companies must also address sustainability and green initiatives that can add an additional layer of complexity. The EH&S solutions from SAP provide companies with the tools to develop effective business processes that improve safety, drive sustainability, and control costs along the way.

The presentations in this track provide concrete lessons from leading companies that demonstrate how to leverage the Environment, Health, and Safety solutions from SAP to address organizational change and compliance issues, support new regulations, manage rising fuel costs, improve warehousing and manufacturing processes, and work with your extended business networks to ensure compliance across the value chain.
