SAP Corporate Social Responsibility
addresses issues of access, adoption, and the
application of 21st century skills to ensure
everyone can participate in - and benefit
from - today's digital world.
SAP’s vision - to help the world run better and improve
lives - dovetails perfectly with the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goals. There are far too few corporations in the
world that, like SAP, openly and proudly state that they stand
for a higher purpose beyond economic success and pledge to
use their extensive resources to make a positive global impact."
None of us is as smart as all of us. This award from
the United Nations Association of New York belongs to the
95,000 women and men of SAP for helping the world run
better and improving people's lives. I am very proud we
