SAS Drives Sustainable Business Strategies
In an effort to help organizations measure and manage their environmental impact, SAS introduces decision-support software platform for proactively identifying innovative strategies that address complex environmental, social, and economic situations while achieving stakeholder objectives.
Cisco is using SAS to support its sustainability efforts. "Cisco believes that new innovative technologies and the power of collaboration are keys to achieving our sustainability goals and minimizing our impact on the environment," says Laura Ipsen, co-chair of Cisco's EcoBoard and senior VP of Cisco Global Policy and Government Affairs. "By partnering with SAS and utilizing SAS for Sustainability Management, Cisco can better prioritize projects and resources that create a positive return for the environment, shareholders and our employees. The SAS solution will enable us to simulate the impact on carbon footprint, waste reduction targets, greenhouse gas emissions and other goals so we can more effectively predict and manage the impact of our operations on the environment."
