At SAP, our purpose is to help the world run better and improve people’s lives. We promise to innovate to help our customers run at their best.

SAP is one of the world’s leading producers of software for the management of business processes, developing solutions that facilitate effective data processing and information flow across organizations.

The company develops software solutions used by small businesses, midsize companies, and large corporations. Every business process can be mapped and designed with standard applications, industry solutions, platforms, and technologies. The software collects and processes data on one platform, from raw material purchasing to production and customer satisfaction. SAP solutions can be installed “on-premise” at a user’s location(s) or from the cloud, helping companies analyze and efficiently design the entire value chain. SAP solutions can also create forecasts, such as when a machine needs to be repaired or how revenue will develop in the next half year.

In addition, SAP helps customers seamlessly link operational data on business processes with experience data on emotional factors such as purchase experience and customer feedback. This enables companies to understand better and respond to their customers.

SAP’s purpose is to help the world run better and improve people’s lives with sustainability at the core. Our promise is to innovate to help you run at your best. To achieve this, we engineer solutions to fuel innovation, foster equality, and spread opportunity across borders and cultures.

Zero emissions. Zero waste. Zero inequality.

It's our responsibility to lead by example

SAP aspires to a world with zero emissions, zero waste, and zero inequality. Our corporate sustainability approach is to create positive economic, social, and environmental impact within planetary boundaries – with a special focus on holistic steering and ESG reporting, climate action, circular economy, and social responsibility. Hear from Daniel Schmid, our Chief Sustainability Officer, how sustainability drives innovation at SAP.

Driving long-term social impact

Global developments, such as climate change, poverty, and increasing inequality, are serious issues that all stakeholders in the worldwide economy must face. At SAP, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is part of our holistic sustainability framework. We put its purpose into action by helping the world run better and improving people’s lives with sustainability at the core. The SAP Corporate Social Responsibility (SAP CSR) team focuses on three pillars: accelerating social business, building future skills, and collaborating for sustainability.

Our responsibility toward diversity and inclusion goes beyond our company and our employees. We’re fully committed to serving our customers with products that can help with D&I initiatives and working with our partners and employees on eliminating social inequity in the communities we live and work in.

Supplier Diversity

SAP commits to encouraging a diverse partner and customer ecosystem and promoting standards for supplier diversity. We set targets for diverse suppliers, and leverage SAP Ariba to encourage the use of diverse suppliers in the SAP ecosystem. We work closely with the SAP Procurement Office and SAP Ariba Development team to embed accessibility requirements into processes.
