Thought Leadership Team
Oxford Economics

Sustainability efforts are a business necessity, but they still face headwinds, according to a new Oxford Economics and SAP study.
Oxford Economics’ Edward Cone and SAP’s Vivek Bapat discuss how organisations can better collect the right metrics, empower employees to execute on sustainability commitments, and overcome obstacles to human rights across their value chains.
Operating sustainably does not follow a one-size-fits-all model, and industries must account for the decisions that are most relevant to their field of work. Read our industry-centric Think Pieces below and find out how your industry can become more sustainable. View our industry think pieces:
