1 Introduction
As a signatory of the UN Global Compact since 2000, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to
respect human rights throughout their operations and value chains.
We recognize that the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, particularly through the
growing use of artificial intelligence, can have far-reaching impacts on human rights. As a global software
leader serving customers of all sizes across 25 industries in countries all over the world, we understand
that our technology can both advance and, if misused, impede human rights.
It is therefore our responsibility to mitigate risks and use the power of technology to drive positive
change. This commitment is core to realizing SAP’s purpose: to help the world run better and improve
people’s lives.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Human Rights Commitment Statement is to ensure the respect of human rights at
SAP and across SAP’s value chain.
1.2 Scope
The Human Rights Commitment Statement has a global scope; it applies to SAP operations worldwide
including SAP Deutschland SE & Co. KG. SAP expects all employees and business partners (for example,
suppliers, partners, customers) to respect human rights and act in line with global human rights
frameworks.
2 Commitment to human rights and fair labor standards
• At SAP, we are committed to respect and advance human rights across our own operations, extended
supply chain, and product life cycle.
• We respect and uphold the values of the International Bill of Human Rights and the International
Labour Organization's (ILO) Core Labour Rights Conventions. In addition, we take guidance from
international frameworks such as the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business
Conduct, to integrate human rights considerations into our standard business practices, policies, and
processes.
• We are committed to complying with applicable laws in the countries where we operate and sell and
have implemented appropriate systems and processes designed to achieve such compliance. Where
our own policies set requirements that are more protective than applicable law, we seek to follow
those requirements to the extent permitted by law. If the implementation of these international
standards is restricted by local law, we seek to develop innovative approaches to which we will
adhere in our actions regarding the principles proclaimed in the international standards while
remaining cognizant of local requirements.
