SAP Business Network’s Expansion of Social
Impact Opportunities
At SAP, we’re using and offering one of the most
powerful tools at our disposal—procurement to drive
sustainability and create meaningful social impact.
Through the SAP Business Network, which connects 4.6
million companies across 190 countries, we facilitate over
$6.2 trillion in annual commerce through more than 778
million B2B transactions.
Now imagine the possibilities if even a small portion of
that spending was directed toward social enterprises-
businesses that prioritize people and the planet. With over
10 million social enterprises globally, SAP has a unique
opportunity to link our customer and CSR ecosystems to
unlock significant investments in sustainable development
that go far beyond traditional philanthropy.
Since launching in November 2023, the SAP Business
Network has recognized verified social enterprises,
growing to over 4,400 by the end of 2024. And we’re not
stopping there. SAP CSR is teaming up with the Business
Network marketing team to encourage even more social
enterprises to join, focusing on regions with robust social
enterprise ecosystems and advancing API integration
with our verification partner SEWF.
But it’s not just about the numbers. By enabling social
enterprises to showcase their credentials on the SAP
Business Network, we’re helping them access global
B2B markets, scale their operations, and make a greater
impact on supply chains worldwide.
