We see Public-Private Partnerships as a

powerful key to build community

capacity in the 4th Industrial Revolution.

We power opportunity for all people

through digital inclusion initiatives.

Our mission: make the world run better

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

are advancing the 17 Global Goals, equality and progress."
