Sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive
- both are feasible!
Let's work together to prevent these numbers from rising any further!
As an SAP Analytics consultancy, we understand the importance of numbers in measuring the impact of climate change. Here are the eight most important figures on climate change:

Our activities for more sustainability
Our sustainability guidelines play a central role in helping us to work more efficiently, reduce costs and at the same time strengthen our image as a responsible market player. By integrating environmentally friendly practices, we minimize risks, meet legal requirements and open up new business opportunities. Together, we contribute to the long-term competitiveness of our company and create a positive impact on society and the environment.
- Management: The management bears overall responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of these guidelines and ensures that all necessary resources are provided.
- Supervisors: Managers are responsible for ensuring that the provisions of these guidelines are complied with in their workshops. They must ensure that all employees are informed about the applicable safety standards and comply with them.
- Employees: Every employee is called upon to contribute to the implementation of the guidelines and to make suggestions for further development.
Absolute equality applies at s-peers. We actively oppose all forms of discrimination: gender, partner orientation, age, skin color, religion, disability, etc. We keep a watchful eye here.
Measure: There is always one person available in the HR team who is the point of contact and is committed to 100% confidentiality.
- Energy efficiency: We are committed to and motivate all employees to minimize energy consumption and use renewable energy sources whenever possible. Examples of this are: 100% renewable energy for electricity, offering GA travelcards instead of travel allowances, subsidizing GA travelcards despite travel allowances, requiring carpooling whenever possible.
- Waste management: We are committed to and motivate all employees to avoid waste, consistently separate unavoidable waste and reuse existing waste wherever possible. Examples include the guiding principle and procedure for waste disposal, flea market with MS Engage, event rental, information event at KVA Weinfelden on waste recycling, complete integration of existing office furniture into new office equipment (100% recycling), max. 2000 printed pages of paper per year for the entire company.
- Sustainable procurement: All raw materials and products are procured from sustainable sources wherever possible. Examples include the local purchase of products from the region and Switzerland, the commissioning of local craftsmen, and a call for conscious food purchasing.
- Transparency: By 2026, we will have identified the KPIs relevant to us and publish them to stakeholders on a monthly basis. Financial and non-financial reporting should be transparent and comprehensive in order to maintain stakeholder trust.
- Risk management: We always keep an eye on environmental risks arising from our work and try to identify any. We systematically integrate the avoidance of sustainability burdens into our corporate strategy.
Guiding principle: "We lead our customers into a data-driven and sustainable future with innovative analytics solutions."
We have implemented a number of measures to achieve this:
- Awarding a Master's thesis
- Establishment of a competence center with solutions for sustainability reporting in the SAP Analytics Cloud
- Collaboration and development of a product with cfg financial Engineering AG for demand-controlled sweeper disposal.
- Employee participation: We want to encourage our employees to actively participate in the company's sustainability initiatives and to contribute their own suggestions for improvement.
- Every little step counts here, such as information on waste separation, calls for clean-up ideas, tree planting campaigns, fundraising campaigns, blood donations, Viva con Aqua, flea markets, etc.
Sustainability workshop
We are currently building the new department for Sustainability & Data, which goes hand in hand with an expansion of the sustainable product portfolio. The s-peers AG is an analytics consultancy, which is why our sustainability solutions also focus on data. It involves the collection, validation and visualization of data. Planning and forecasting solutions are then based on this. The Sustainability Workshop takes care of the products Carbon Controlling with the SAP Analytics Cloud, EU Taxonomy and Sustainability Control Tower (SAC).

We offer our employees healthy, vegetarian and regional food in offices and at company events. When possible, we buy Fairtrade products. purchases.
Sustainability projects
Sustainability is important to us. We therefore organize internal sustainability campaigns, such as our tree planting campaign in Tägerwilen, 2020. Financial support for sustainable projects is also planned for the future.
Sustainability certification
We are in the process of having our company certified by ecovadis. The certificate measures the positive impact of s-peers AG in areas such as corporate governance, employees, community, environment and product or service.
Fundraising
Social sustainability is also important to us as a company. Therefore, in times of crisis, we organise internal fundraising campaigns to do our part to help. For example, we collected donations for flood relief in 2021 or for Ukraine in 2022.
Further training measures on the topic of sustainability
In order for us as a company to successfully integrate sustainability into the corporate culture of s-peers AG, the know-how of our employees on the subject of sustainability must also be built up. We have already been able to have various employees certified on the following sustainability topics: GRI Academy certification and SAP Business Success with Climate Action certification.
