Why Holistic Steering and Reporting Matters
In today's world, corporate accountability and long-term value creation beyond financial performance are essential. At SAP, we connect financial and non-financial ESG metrics to meet stakeholder expectations.
Read about how our sustainability approach aims to create positive economic, social, and environmental impacts while respecting planetary boundaries and human rights. Our goal is to create long-term value for all stakeholders while addressing pressing global issues.
Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) indicators
In the interest of our investors, we provide a summary of the Principal Adverse Impact (PAI)indicators, conforming to the standards set by the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). PAI are defined by the EU as “negative, material, or likely to be material effects on sustainability factors that are caused, compounded by, or directly linked to investment decisions and advice performed by the legal entity.”
World Economic Forum – Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics (WEF)
To support long-term value creation, SAP has committed to applying the World Economic Forum (WEF) Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics and encourages further global standardization and convergence in the ESG reporting landscape.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)
The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a globally accepted framework anchored in human rights, which we use for communicating our purpose to “help the world run better and improve people’s lives.” We strive to execute on this purpose by being a role model for sustainable, purpose-led operations and by enabling our customers to operate in a sustainable way.
Following the adoption of the SDGs by world leaders in September 2015, we identified and aligned existing initiatives with all 17 SDGs. For example, we looked at the environmental and social impacts of customers using SAP technology and applications, linking these impacts to the SDGs.
Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)
The TCFD recommends companies to disclose their climate-related financial risks to investors, lenders, insurers, and other stakeholders.
Social Investments
SAP's sustainable corporate strategy addresses today's environmental and social issues through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR at SAP focuses on creating long-term positive social and environmental impact with two main areas: Accelerate Impact Business and Build Future Skills.
These efforts align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are supported by robust governance, guidelines, and policies. SAP regularly measures the impact of its social investments, ensuring they drive equitable access to economic opportunities, education, and employment, while also engaging employees in meaningful volunteer activities.
