Sustainability management

As an SAP service provider, abat combines its IT and process expertise from the automotive, discrete manufacturing and logistics sectors with sustainability know-how. This combination is of great benefit to our customers because, especially in complex environments, effects of digitalization are strongly linked to sustainability requirements. Here, we focus our approach on four core areas: strategic sustainability management, sustainability reporting, material flow management, and preparation and support for certifications. As one of only a few SAP service providers in Germany, abat thus advises on holistic sustainability management.

Information Security

An ISO 27001 or TISAX® certification is sometimes requested, but rarely is it presented by any company of its own free will. We have been required by customers in the automotive industry to certify abat AG according to ISO 27001 & TISAX®.

Since its founding, abat pursues the philosophy of "New Work" and does so with a flat organizational structure. When we have been asked to certify we were very concerned that the path to certification could negatively impact our business. However, throughout the process we have found that successful certification is possible without sacrificing any fundamental principles.

To be well prepared for the time before, during and after a certification process, abat AG offers you information security consulting services and supports you in protecting your and your customers' values.
