Improving people’s life motto made tangible
Our purpose at SAP is to help the world run better and improve people’s live. What does that actually mean? As you might be aware SAP is a leader in enterprise software, and besides 77% of the world’s transaction revenue touching an SAP system, our customers distribute 82% of the world’s food (1). This is a huge responsibility but it is a sign too that our software is part of a growth in people’s overall well being.
If you take a look into Hans Rosling Gap minder here you will realize how worldwide life expectancy has been growing together with people’s income and since SAP has been founded in 1972, our innovative solutions have been a key contributor for this growth of well being all around. As we are a B2B company we enable our customers to extend their reach to end customers geographically, to come up with new products to optimize their operations so that those current 82% of the world’s food reach where there’s the demand for it. However remember our operations span over 25 industries everywhere in the world!
This is one way of improving people’s life but social enterprises are also key to make the world run better. Taking 1000+ women from a sex worker life out of the streets of Ethiopia, like Ellilta International does, which I have described here also has a tremendous impact in people’s life and making the world run better as many of the children from these women have graduated from University this far which is specially relevant has the poverty cycle is too often inherited.
SAP is committed to the United National Sustainable Development Goals and through the whole CSR portfolio which you can deep dive here you will realize how our efforts have a further impact in our societies all around the globe supporting specifically SDG’s 4,8 and 17.
Each organization has its own impact, its own way of improving people’s lives. All efforts are valid and all should be promoted. SAP besides helping its customers to run better, recognizes it’s responsibility in the world and it is extending its reach to up skill social enterprises through SAP’s motivated and skillful workforce. We all win. We all make the world run better.
