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 work more efficiently, reduce costs and at the same time strengthen our image as a responsible market participant. 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: Management has 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 regulations of these guidelines are observed in their workshops. They must ensure that all employees are informed about and comply with the applicable safety standards.
- Employees: Every employee is called upon to participate in the implementation of the guidelines and to contribute suggestions for further development.
At s-peers, we are committed to absolute equality. We actively oppose any form of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, age, skin color, religion, disability, etc. We remain vigilant in this regard.
Measure: There is always a person available in the HR team who is the point of contact and is 100% committed to confidentiality.
- Energy efficiency: We commit ourselves and motivate all employees to minimize energy consumption and use renewable energy sources whenever possible. Examples include: 100% renewable energy for electricity, offering a general season ticket instead of a flat-rate travel allowance, subsidizing general season tickets despite flat-rate travel allowance, and the requirement to form carpools whenever possible.
- Waste management: We commit to and motivate all employees to avoid waste, consistently separate unavoidable waste, and reuse existing materials as much as possible. Examples include guidelines and procedures for waste disposal, a flea market with MS Engage, an event rental information event by KVA Weinfelden on waste recycling, full integration of existing office furniture in the new office equipment (100% recycling), and a maximum of 2,000 printed paper pages per year for the entire company.
- Sustainable procurement: All raw materials and products are sourced from sustainable sources whenever possible. Examples include the local purchase of products from the region and Switzerland, commissioning local craftsmen, and calling for conscious food purchasing.
- Transparency: By 2026, we will have identified the KPIs relevant to us and publish them monthly to stakeholders. Financial and non-financial reporting should be transparent and comprehensive to maintain the trust of stakeholders.
- Risk Management: We always keep an eye on environmental risks that arise from our work and try to identify any potential ones. We systematically integrate the avoidance of sustainability burdens into the corporate strategy.
Mission statement: "We guide our customers into a data-driven and sustainable future through innovative analytics solutions."
We have implemented several measures for this purpose:
- Assignment of a master's thesis
- Establishing 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 needs-based waste 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.
- Here, every little step counts, such as providing information on waste separation, calling for clean-up ideas, tree planting campaigns, fundraising, blood donations, Viva con Aqua, flea markets, etc.
Sustainability workshop
We are currently building the new department for Sustainability & Data, which includes expanding our sustainable product portfolio. s-peers AG is an analytics consulting firm, which is why our sustainability solutions start with the data. It goes beyond the collection, validation, and visualization of data. Building on this, we then have planning and forecasting solutions. The Sustainability Workshop focuses on the products Carbon Controlling with SAP Analytics Cloud, EU Taxonomy, and Sustainability Control Tower (SAC).

More environmentally friendly and healthy food
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. This certification measures s-peers AG's positive impact 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.
