Sustainable Growth: Leveraging ESG for Business Success

08/09/23 • 35 min

Most companies today know they can decarbonize and become more sustainable. But they don’t know the best way for their company to become more sustainable — or how to balance their sustainability initiatives against other business priorities. That’s because sustainability isn’t just about a company’s carbon footprint. It’s also about diversity, equality, inclusion, biodiversity, circularity, plastic packaging, and so much more.

In this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast, Sammy Lakshmanan, Principle, ESG at PwC, and John McCormick, a Partner at PwC, explore how businesses can report on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards with a high level of trust. They delve into the use of sustainability data for growth, recent shifts in the world of corporate sustainability and the impact of those changes, and how businesses can leverage data and reporting to make sustainability decisions and deliver on those commitments.

Grounded Horizons: The Realities and Opportunities of Business Travel Today

92% of business travelers believe the future of their careers depends on successful business travel. And yet nearly two-thirds (62%) feel they haven’t had equal opportunity to travel for business compared to their coworkers, and they attribute this primarily to their age, accent, or gender.

These are some of the staggering findings from the SAP Concur Global Business Travel Survey, which serves as an annual touchpoint to lay bare the realities of today's business travel landscape. Now in its fifth year, the survey explores some of the most pressing challenges facing business travelers and travel managers today, such as the lack of equal opportunity for travel among marginalized travelers, how that denial of opportunity can stunt professional growth, and how this impacts travel managers and informs their decisions.

Nathan Richter of Wakefield Research joins us in this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast to explore key findings from the 2023 Global Business Travelers Report and 2023 Global Business Travel Managers Report, and to share data-backed insights into the current state of business travel and what the next year will bring.

Data Trails: The Power of Data Storytelling in T&E Management

Data is one of the most powerful tools your organization has to monitor its health, plan for its future, and effect real change. But data is nothing more than rows of numbers unless you can interpret what those numbers mean and see the stories the data tells. To do this, data must be accurate, available, and actionable — and beyond that, it’s up to you to know the right questions to ask to extract meaningful answers.

In this episode of the SAP Concur Conversations podcast, CJ Cohick, a Product Manager (and recovering math major) at Motus explores the important role data plays in storytelling, how to provide data so it can be leveraged in strategic ways, and how automation and AI are shifting the roles of data in the industry.
