What is the next era of S / 4HANA and EHS? Our Environment, Health and Safety( EHS) management portfolio, which is part of the S / 4HANA family, has existed for many years and serves as a backbone across industries. EHS remains highly relevant for companies. The innovation today is that we are using AI in EHS too. For instance, health and safety management can now benefit from AI through easier incident recording in natural language and more efficient processing of permits and documents. The real step change comes from applying AI to longstanding challenges faced by our clients in the EHS space.

CFOs increasingly need to manage sustainability as part of their remit, particularly with regulations driving this shift. Core business functions such as finance and procurement have to be fully aware of all sustainability initiatives within a company. In finance, for example, trade-offs may be required between different sustainability activities. These functions need to work more closely together, which is why we integrate sustainability into ERP. technologymagazine. com 65
