SAP wants to give new meaning to the resources in enterprise resource planning, going beyond the boundaries of the enterprise and accounting for its impact on the whole planet. The software provider plans to do that by enhancing existing tools for estimating greenhouse gas emissions due to an enterprise’s activities, and adding capabilities for exchanging that data with partners, bringing it all together in a “green ledger” that will record the climate cost of doing business alongside the financ

It’s rare for top talent to search for job openings and submit cold applications. Instead, new opportunities usually come to them. That’s because smart recruiters have learned to apply marketing principles to their talent acquisition process, helping them fill and nurture robust talent pipelines they can hire from at a moment’s notice.
