Case Study: ERG (Italy’s leading wind‑power operator) achieves streamlined, sustainable supply-chain management and significant sourcing savings with SAP Ariba

How Does a Renewable Energy Provider Manage a Sustainable Supply Chain

ERG S.p.A., Italy’s leading wind-power operator with more than 80 years in the energy sector, set out to modernize its procurement to better support its renewable-energy mission. The company needed to replace disjointed systems and manual processes with a standardized platform to improve supplier visibility, streamline data updates and qualification, and enforce its supplier code of conduct.

By adopting SAP Ariba solutions integrated with its SAP ERP, ERG centralized supplier management and gained real-time, unified supplier data. The transformation boosted sourcing savings, supported €100 million in procurement volume, strengthened supplier qualification for sustainability, anti‑corruption and human‑rights standards, and delivered greater transparency and scaled compliance across the supplier base.
