Frequently Asked Questions about Sustainability and ERP Consulting

Sustainability has become a crucial consideration for businesses across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, particularly when optimising enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Companies in the DACHS region increasingly rely on ERP consulting to align their processes with sustainability goals, comply with regional regulations and enhance transparency in environmental reporting. Here are three common questions businesses ask when exploring sustainable ERP consulting solutions.

How does ERP consulting support sustainability goals in companies?

ERP consulting helps companies integrate sustainability by optimising processes to reduce waste, energy consumption and emissions. Consultants identify sustainability-related KPIs, implement resource-efficient workflows and enable accurate sustainability reporting aligned with regulatory requirements in the DACHS region.

Yes, the DACHS region has specific sustainability regulations such as Germany’s Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (Supply Chain Act) and mandatory ESG reporting under EU directives. ERP consulting ensures systems are configured to comply with these standards, enabling transparent reporting and traceability of sustainability practices.

ERP systems themselves do not automatically measure carbon footprints but when properly configured they aggregate necessary data (energy use, transportation and materials sourcing) to calculate emissions accurately. Consultants help clients set up modules or integrations that streamline carbon accounting and reporting according to DACHS-specific sustainability frameworks.
