Video Interview: Peter Graf, CSO EVP at SAP

By Nick Aster

I just got back from the Wall Street Journal's ECO:nomics conference in Santa Barbara, Calif. and put together a handful of great video interviews.  You can follow along on our conference page here for all of them, as well as past years' coverage.

ED NOTE: Please join us on April 11th as we talk with Peter Graf of SAP, Aron Kramer from BSR, & Nigel Topping of CDP on Twitter. Register here to join us.

Peter Graf is SAP America’s chief sustainability officer.  Last week, he led conversation at WSJ ECO:nomics on the use of IT to drive sustainability, covering sustainable design, product stewardship networks, employee education, transportation management, recycling administration and aligning incentives with sustainability interests.

I had a chance to sit down with Peter and talk about SAP's recently released integrated report, the process for putting it together and how it has benefitted the company. We also talked about some of the company's recent accomplishments in committing to 100 percent renewable energy and a new foray into free online sustainable business education.

Watch it all in the video after the jump:
