Across the globe, organizations are proving that strong business performance and meaningful ESG progress go hand in hand. From clean energy infrastructure to greener manufacturing and circular economy models, companies are finding new ways to create impact without compromising growth.
What these organizations have in common is a smarter approach to IT.
By partnering with Rimini Street, clients are stabilizing core systems, reducing operating costs and freeing up critical resources to fund ESG initiatives at scale. The following stories highlight how Rimini Street clients are transforming IT efficiency into real-world environmental progress.
Enabling clean energy at scale: Southern Cross Electrical Engineering
In Australia, Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited (“SCEE Group”) plays a critical role in advancing Western Australia’s move to renewable energy and decarbonization.
Through major infrastructure projects like the Collie Battery Energy Storage System, SCEE is contributing to the production of stable, sustainable energy while supporting broader structural initiatives. One of the biggest batteries in Australia, the project provides 2,400 megawatt hours (MWh) of output or enough energy to power 785,000 homes for over four hours. Projects like these are essential to growing renewable power generation and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
To support this mission, SCEE needed more reliable and responsive support for its JD Edwards systems. By partnering with Rimini Street, the organization replaced a fragmented support model with a single, trusted provider for professional services, application management and software support, gaining greater stability and faster issue resolution.
“With Rimini Street delivering steady and responsive ERP support, we can maintain our momentum in innovation and efficiently deliver solutions that add real value to our customers and the broader community.” – Imre Szabo, Energy, Mining and Utilities IT Leader
With core systems running smoothly, SCEE’s IT team can shift its focus from maintenance to innovation, supporting large-scale clean energy projects that directly contribute to emissions reduction and a more resilient energy grid.

Advancing green steel manufacturing: GRP
Steel is foundational to modern life, but it is also one of the most carbon-intensive industries in the world. That’s what makes the work of Gunung Raja Paksi (GRP) so important.
Based in Indonesia, GRP is leading green steel initiatives to reduce emissions and transform traditional manufacturing processes. By investing in more sustainable production methods and embracing Industry 4.0 technologies, the company is working to reshape the environmental footprint of steel production while growing its market. Their efforts have garnered national recognition from Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and placed them as the only steel producer in Asia outside of China able to meet stringent EU requirements for zero-carbon hot rolled coil. Their commitment to production methods that use no fossil fuels for production and produce zero greenhouse gas emissions will allow them to both double production of low-carbon steel and expand trade to the EU.
Rimini Street plays a key role in enabling this transformation. With Rimini Support™ for SAP S/4HANA systems, GRP has been able to reduce operational costs and eliminate unnecessary complexity.
“With Rimini Street fully supporting our SAP systems, my team can focus 100% on realizing our Industry 4.0 vision.” – Ivan Widjaksono, Head of Digital Transformation, GRP
Those savings are being reinvested into innovation, including AI-driven insights, advanced analytics and smart factory capabilities that improve efficiency and reduce waste. With a stable ERP backbone in place, GRP can accelerate its sustainability goals while maintaining competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.

Driving the circular economy: Lwart Environmental Solutions
The circular economy is one of the most powerful tools for reducing environmental impact, and Lwart Environmental Solutions is a global leader in putting it into practice.
Operating across Brazil, Lwart collects and re-refines used oil, transforming waste into new product. This process not only reduces environmental contamination but also conserves natural resources by extending the lifecycle of existing materials. Since 2016, Lwart has re-refined over 9 million barrels of oil and prevented the extraction of more than 300 million barrels of oil.
Supporting this complex operation requires highly reliable systems and efficient processes. Lwart first engaged with Rimini Street to support its SAP environment, including customizations and ISO-certified global tax, legal and regulatory updates. Impressed by the support they received, Lwart expanded the partnership to include support for VMware. By partnering with Rimini Street to support its ERP and virtualization landscape, Lwart has stabilized its IT environment while significantly reducing costs.
“Rimini Street makes it possible for me to focus my team’s attention on the needs of our customers, partners and the future of Lwart instead of unnecessary disruption.” – Jefferson Andriotti, Head of IT and Procurement, Lwart Environmental Solutions
Freed from the burden of maintenance related distractions, Lwart’s IT team can focus on optimizing operations and scaling its environmental impact. The result is a clear example of how operational efficiency and sustainability can reinforce each other.
