Sustainability Expertise

Evolve your planning processes toward a more responsible and resilient model

Equip all your teams to address their Sustainability challenges

Leverage Anaplan’s flexibility to build a resilient, data-driven and sustainable operating model

In an increasingly uncertain environment, building a resilient and robust Supply Chain has become a major challenge for many companies. Faced with the depletion of fossil resources, fluctuating prices and rising supply uncertainty, the ability to anticipate disruptions and react quickly has become essential to ensure long-term business continuity. Because high-performing Supply Chains rely on the right tools, it is crucial to connect your data, teams and objectives within a single, unified environment. Thanks to its collaborative and scalable architecture, Anaplan allows Sustainability considerations to be directly integrated into your Supply and Finance processes, with clear and shared KPIs that support faster and more informed decision-making.

Our beliefs

Building tomorrow’s Sustainability processes today

Just as Supply Chain processes have taken decades to mature and become fully equipped, we believe that Sustainability processes within organizations will need to be structured in the years ahead. Long treated as secondary elements of financial reporting, Sustainability issues now need to be embedded in decision-making forums and operational choices. To support this evolution, we are developing our offering around three key ideas.

  • We help companies formalize Sustainability planning routines, either fully integrated into existing processes such as S&OP, IBP or production planning cycles, or designed as a standalone activity with its own scope and cadence. These new routines must be properly framed and equipped so they can be carried out efficiently without disrupting existing workflows.
  • We also ensure that operational teams are able to make decisions that consider not only direct and indirect financial impacts, but also environmental impacts and long-term consequences. Existing Supply Chain processes will remain essential, but making decisions without visibility into all impacts is no longer an option. Future tools must provide the most complete picture possible so that strategic orientations can be translated into concrete actions.
  • Finally, we believe that Sustainability planning must evolve at the same pace as other processes, leveraging new technologies to suggest improvement opportunities and support continuous transformation.

Our tangible value proposition

Tailor-made solutions built from best practices and real operational experience

Our teams bring together experienced operational profiles and young engineers committed to Sustainability challenges. This combination of business expertise and technical skills allows us to build tailor-made solutions and to design intuitive, efficient interfaces. We put our Anaplan expertise at the service of your Sustainability goals to transform your planning processes in a concrete and pragmatic way. We rely on internal accelerators to deploy best practices quickly, allowing us to focus development efforts on your specific business needs.

Our supply chain solutions

To support the sustainable transformation of your operations, our teams innovate while adapting to your level of maturity on Sustainability topics. When building or enhancing your planning applications, we integrate environmental considerations from the earliest design phases. We also work on existing models to enrich them with a relevant environmental dimension tailored to your operational realities. We integrate Sustainability indicators directly within your planning screens, enabling you to incorporate these topics naturally into day-to-day decisions.

We also deploy dedicated tools for network optimization (Network Design / Digital Twin), providing long-term visibility into the resilience of your operating model through fast scenario simulation and evaluation of possible options.
