HELPING THE WORLD RUN BETTER –TOGETHER

A note from Alexandra van der Ploeg, SAP’s Global Head of Corporate Social Responsibility

We often hear people speak about having “a challenging year,” and to a certain extent, we can all find a year that was more difficult than the others. But the more I reflect, the more I realize that every year the global community, businesses, and individuals encounter unique or new challenges.

Like any other year, 2022 had its fair share of challenges with devastating implications for humanity - the torrential monsoon rains that resulted in major floods in Pakistan, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the slow global economic recovery post the coronavirus pandemic. All these events had repercussions for the underserved and underdeveloped parts of our society, as global inequality widened, and poverty increased.

This year’s theme for our annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) e-book is Helping the World Run Better – Together. It stems from our vision as a company to help the world run better and improve people’s lives with sustainability at the core. The ‘together’ is an extension of our vision and our acknowledgment that we cannot run the world better alone. 2022 also marks the halfway point to the 2030 deadline for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). That means the way forward requires tapping into and working with different stakeholders. Individuals, businesses, local governments, and non-profit organizations all have a role to play.

CSR is part of SAP’s holistic sustainability framework, and we turn SAP’s vision into action. We Accelerate Social Businesses to create equitable access to economic opportunity by providing on-site and virtual pro-bono consulting programs to help these businesses and their communities run bet ter. Further, we are fostering social procure ment and – with that - enabling social enter prises to access new B2B markets worldwide.

In doing so, we support infrastructure development by building the necessary networks and by investing in expanding the capacity of critical stakeholders. We understand that education creates a ripple effect that solves many social and environmental issues. This is why we Build Future Skills by investing in innovative education models to enable pathways to employment and entrepreneurship in the digital and green economy— specifically focusing on the underrepresented, underserved, and underprivileged youth between the ages of 16 to 24. We understand that our vision is enormous, so we Collaborate for Sustainability with our employees and external partners to create an equitable future.

Join us as we highlight our contributions to helping the world run better and doing our part in making sure that the global community meets its 2030 SDG targets. We trust you will enjoy reading about our global impact and signature initiatives. As you page through this year’s e-book, we hope you are left feeling inspired and motivated to join us in our quest to Help the World Run Better – Together!

Warm regards,

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:

TURNING OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVE INTO ACTION

2022 was a special year for SAP as we celebrated our 50th anniversary. Five decades ago, our founders set out to redefine business software and in doing so, forever changed the way the world runs. Their innovative thinking, pioneering spirit, and drive laid the foundation for the rise of SAP – and they are still the basis for our success today, as we are carrying their legacy forward to drive positive change for our planet and its people – something that has never been more relevant or important than today.

Our vision is to enable every organization and every industry to become a network of intelligent, sustainable enterprises. With this in mind, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an imperative strategic component of our business.

The United Nations Global Compact defines CSR as “doing business in ways that benefit society and protect people”. Our corporate sustainability approach is to create positive economic, social, and environmental impact within planetary boundaries – with a special focus on holistic steering and ESG reporting, climate action, circular economy, and social responsibility. Through our CSR strategy, we are able to set clear priorities and focus on areas where we can drive change.

No one country or one business will be able to solve our planet’s greatest challenges alone. It requires collaboration and cooperation. Collectively, with our colleagues, customers, and partners, we can have a profound and unique impact on the world. This is why our 2022 CSR e-book theme is Helping the World Run Better – Together. Ultimately, when we join forces with organizations that share our same values, we can truly change the way this world operates.

Sincerely,

INNOVATION BELONGS TO ALL OF US!

Yet with the pandemic, rapid climate change, and other mounting inequalities, access to opportunities are just not the same. That is why SAP CSR continues to power equitable access to economic opportunity, education and employment, and a green economy.

SAP CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN STYLE

This year, SAP celebrated 50 years of leading innovation in the technology space. Founded in 1972 by five people working in their first client’s offices, SAP has grown into a global powerhouse of more than 110,000 employees, supporting more than 460,000 customers across 140 countries. To mark our 50th anniversary, we partnered with University of the People to fund 50 associate and 50 bachelor degrees in computer science and business administration. The scholarship program supports refugees and displaced youth aged between 18 and 30. We also honored our SAP employees by launching the SAP Heroes campaign - a campaign created to shed light on powerful stories of purpose

that stem from their personal involvement in community causes. Employees were invited to nominate colleagues who have dedicated themselves to being multipliers of goodthose who make selfless contributions to their communities while enabling others to do the same.

To conclude the 50th Anniversary celebrations, we shined the spotlight on SAP’s founding country Germany. We invited non-profit associations and initiatives in the Rhein-Neckar region who wishes to make their organization fit for the future to participate in the #future creators’ competition. We reviewed 153 applications in the five categories: education, environment, inclusion, community, and digital. SAP provided a funding pot of 125,000€.

SUPPORTING UKRAINE IN TOUGH TIMES

February saw the Russian Federation invading Ukraine, resulting in a massive social and economic crisis. To address the humanitarian and refugee needs on the ground, the CSR team leveraged SAP’s position as a global tech giant and used our technology to help multi-national organizations across a range of aid efforts. Our relief measures included helping the Ukrainian government to order supplies for hospitals, providing housing for our displaced employees, supporting the educational needs of children affected by the conflict, and encouraging social businesses in Ukraine to help address the country’s most pressing challenges. As a result, total donations from SAP and our employees have surpassed €4.2 million

LOVING

MEMORY OF NISH PANGALI

In May 2022, the CSR team lost a dear friend and colleague, Nish Pangali, Global Program Director for education initiatives at SAP. With over 15 years of experience working at SAP and in various CSR roles, Nish was always a ray of sunshine and a pleasure to work with. Her journey in CSR began in North America, where she spent nine years as the Head of Technology Donations within the CSR team. For the last three years, she held the role of Global Program Director, managing the global digital skills strategy, our partnership with UNICEF, and the tech donation / innovations program.

Gone but not forgotten.

UPDATES

UNICEF AND GENERATION UNLIMITED EXTEND THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP

In September 2022, SAP committed to continuing its partnership with UNICEF in support of Generation Unlimited (GenU) for a further three years to help prepare young people for the workforce. Building upon an already existing three-year partnership, the partners will pilot a new programme that supports ‘learning to earning’ pathways in the digital and green economy for young people deprived of access to the skills they need to flourish. This will be trialled in Nigeria, Kenya, the Philippines, and South Africa and will

use GenU’s signature solution, Youth Agency Marketplace (YOMA). The collaboration also supports SAP Educate to Employ, a new initiative that educates youth from underserved communities on soft skills, foundational knowledge, and SAP skills, paving the way for a successful career in the SAP ecosystem.

STRATEGY SAP CSR’S REFRESHED NEW BEGINNINGS:

This year we updated and refined our CSR strategy to strike the right balance between economic, environmental, and social components. With this holistic sustainability view, we put a greater emphasis on social entrepreneurship and employability through education. In doing so, we drive long-term social impact, and business value with three focus areas powering equitable access to economic opportunity, education and employment, and a green economy:

SAP is committed to positively impacting the communities in which we operate. Our corporate vision is based on the philosophy that business should help the world run better and improve people’s lives, with sustainability at the core. In line with this, SAP’s objective is to create positive economic, environmental, and social impact within planetary boundaries.

We recognize that global developments like climate change, poverty, and increasing inequality are serious issues that all stakeholders in the worldwide economy must face. This is why corporate social responsibility (CSR) is part of SAP’s holistic sustainability framework.

We understand the enormous potential that social partnerships bring to the table. That’s why we not only provide products and services to meet our customers’ sustainability challenges and opportunities, but we also continuously extend our ecosystem of global and regional social business and education partners to foster systemic change.

STRATEGY REFRESHED

While we collaborate for sustainability with many stakeholders and partners across the globe, we also see incredible employee commitment to tackling sustainability-related issues. At SAP, employee engagement cuts across all our efforts and is key to successfully running our CSR programs. Employees are our biggest lever to create long-term social impact and business value. With their engagement, we can bring our programs and initiatives to life.

At SAP, we have been recognized over the years for our CSR hard work and efforts. We are now excited to see how these strategic changes will enable us to further build and accelerate our impact!

ACCELERATE SOCIAL BUSINESS

IMPACT IN NUMBERS

1K+ Social enterprises supported

$3.4M in-kind contribution

Did you know that nonprofit organizations and social enterprises account for an average of 4.5% of their countries’ GDP and employ more than 10% of the total workforce? In fact, research led by the British Council estimates that there are around 11 million businesses globally that could be recognized as social enterprises.

These companies are drivers of positive change, trailblazing new business models to combat climate change, ramp up the circular economy, and accelerate equality.

At SAP, we understand that supporting the social enterprise sector is the best way to drive long-term social impact, create business value, and meet global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. This is why we have actively supported the development of social businesses for over a decade by

121 pro-bono consulting projects (59% increase)

1B+ beneficiaries reached through our CSR partners

• Providing our SAP business know-how through on-site and virtual pro bono consulting programs where our 110,000+ employees around the world can support social enterprises on specific business challenges and help them to become corporate-ready, run at their best, grow their business and maximize their social and environmental impact.

• Accelerating the social enterprise sector with infrastructure and ecosystem development by building the necessary networks and investing in expanding the capacity of critical stakeholders as well as by concretely supporting initiatives such as the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship.

• Enabling social enterprises to access new B2B markets through social

5 REASONS

WHY WE SUPPORT SOCIAL BUSINESSES:

To build capacity for social entrepreneurs. The organizations we have supported say that they continue to use the skills and knowledge they gained, with 96% reporting positive long-term impact. In addition, over 75% revealed that their employees’ skills have been enhanced because they engaged with SAP. Most importantly, 85% of social enterprises shared that they were better able to serve their beneficiaries.

To drive social impact. When social enterprises work together with corporations, this can have positive ripple effects for their beneficiaries. In fact, 87% of beneficiaries of the organizations supported by SAP have enjoyed improvements in their quality of life.

To empower SAP employees. It’s not only social enterprises that benefit but our employees themselves, with 88% reporting a positive, long-term impact on their personal lives. Their top changes include greater social awareness, forming a network, and being able to recognize what’s important. After participating in our programs, 74% of employees also experienced a positive long-term impact on their professional careers, and 88% increased their ability to effectively manage across teams globally.

4 5

To amplify the power of diversity and inclusion. Our programs enable us to bring together different cultures and diverse ways of thinking, which in turn benefit both SAP and the organizations we help. For example, the SAP Social Sabbatical program has been run in over 52 countries, with SAP employees from around the world representing 64 nationalities sharing their skills, knowledge, and professional expertise with nonprofit organizations and social enterprises in emerging markets. Through global teamwork, employees are exposed to different cultures and diverse ways of thinking. Research shows that diversified teams can drive innovation, improve problemsolving, and boost decision-making.

To create business value for SAP. As a result of our work to bolster social enterprises, 90% of the organizations we support now have a more positive image of SAP as a leading global organization. Over the past 10 years, we’ve seen countless stories from stakeholders which show how SAP’s pro-bono consulting programs build long-term, sustainable impact for our nonprofit and social enterprise clients, their beneficiaries, SAP participants, and the company overall. This is because the programs create a leadership culture across the board. We provide a deep learning experience with the social businesses we work with, and 74% of SAP employees report a positive impact on their careers and personal growth.

HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE WAYS WE ACCELERATE SOCIAL BUSINESS

PRO BONO CONSULTING

PROVIDING SAP BUSINESS KNOW-HOW TO SOCIAL ENTERPRISES

TRANSFORM Support Hub

In partnership with Unilever and MovingWorlds, TRANSFORM Support Hub is a global one-stop-online-shop for non-financial, free business support for social enterprises worldwide, bringing together the best offerings available from the public, private, and social sectors. Through the Hub, these organizations gain access to pro bono consultants, mentors, and coaches; personalised guidance; introductions to sales and partnership opportunities as well as connections to potential funding opportunities.

Acceleration Collective

The Acceleration Collective is a virtual, pro bono consulting program from SAP, powered by MovingWorlds. The initiative allows SAP employees to connect with and support the “businesses of the future”, a phrase referring to next-generation leaders and organizations that operate as social enterprises. At the same time, employees can advance their core and professional skills while creating positive change in the world.

Pro Bono for Economic Equity

The Pro Bono for Economic Equity program was founded in early 2021 to help strengthen Black-owned businesses and social enterprises. In 2022, it was rolled out in Canada to support Indigenous Peoples with expertise from our employees. The program allows our employees to leverage their professional skills and contribute towards Canada’s Indigenous economy, which is worth over CAD$30 billion and expected to triple in size over the next five years.

SAP Social Sabbatical

One of our longest-running programs, the SAP Social Sabbatical, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Over the past decade, SAP employees have contributed more than

376,000 volunteer hours to help 477 nonprofits and social enterprises on-site across 52 countries. SAP employees are placed in highly diverse teams to dedicate their skills and professional expertise in a unique, short-term assignment solving concrete strategic challenges for client organizations, developing leadership skills and advancing SAP’s purpose to ‘help the world run better and improve people’s lives’.

- Impact in Numbers

In partnership with PYXERA Global, this program has been a win for all involved, from the organizations we have supported and their beneficiaries to our employees. According to a survey conducted by researchers from 60_decibels, 96% of social sector clients who participated in previous sabbaticals experienced a positive long-term impact. This has trickled down to those they assist, with 85% saying that their ability to serve their beneficiaries has improved.

Amongst employees who took part in past sabbaticals, 74% reported positive long-term impacts on their careers, while 88% noted positive long-term impacts on their personal lives.

- SAP Social Sabbatical 2022

This year, in-person sabbaticals finally returned after two years of virtual sessions - what better way to mark our 10-year milestone! As this was the first pro bono consulting program to return to in-person engagement, we could set the standard for other companies.

The 2022 SAP Social Sabbatical saw participants working in Buenos Aires in Argentina, Bangkok in Thailand, and Kigali in Rwanda. Over the past decade, 1,441 SAP Social Sabbatical participants have impacted over 6.41 million lives, created over 460 jobs, and supported 477 organizations through volunteering over 376 000 hours.

ECOSYSTEM ENABLEMENT & PARTNERSHIPS: ACCELERATE THE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE SECTOR

Did you know that corporations invest a significant amount in sustainable development? In fact, it’s estimated that corporations spend around $150 billion globally on sustainable development initiatives. However, compared to the $20+ trillion spent on business-to-business and public procurement transactions, it’s clear that there is still much room for growth. But what if a small percentage of these trillions could be redirected to suppliers that meet the needs of individuals and companies and reinvest profits into people and the planet? Together, we could significantly impact the social economy, far beyond what corporate philanthropy alone could achieve. And, at the same time, we would still have access to the quality goods and services we need.

Overall, we must ensure that social entrepreneurs have the right capacity and can access the resources, networks, and expertise needed to scale their impact. Through partnerships with organizations and initiatives, we enable social entrepreneurs to drive systemic change and create a more supportive environment for their work.

We have to invest in the right infrastructure and advocate for the right policies on a global and regional level. For instance, through global partnerships like the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF), Yunus Social Business, and Acumen, we build a dynamic ecosystem of public and private sector leaders to support social enterprises and the social innovation movement worldwide. In addition, we engage in regional partnerships like Social Enterprise UK and Euclid Network to further develop the infrastructure and build the ecosystems needed to accelerate the social economy nationally and regionally.

SEWF shares our goal of growing the global social enterprise movement to accelerate the transition to a new global impact economy. This year, the SEWF took place in Australia, where 2,770 social enterprise leaders, policymakers, philanthropists, and purpose-led people from 93 countries came together for two inspiring days of learning, inspiration and connection.

SEWF 2022 was a two-day hybrid event focused on ‘Co-Creating the Future’. The event sought to address how social enterprises could get enough support to keep creating social impact whilst remaining profitable in the long term. Alexandra van der Ploeg, our Global Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, served as a moderator on the panel discussion which explored the topic of Migration Environment and Climate Change, while Eugene Ho, SAP Global CSR Director, Future Skills spoke on Social Procurement: How far can we go?

SAP has been actively involved with SEWF since 2018 and has participated in more than six events over the years. As SEWF’s first global partner, this has helped to extend the organization’s reach and impact by equipping more social enterprises with access to the technology, talent, and markets they need to be successful.

SOCIAL PROCUREMENT: ENABLE SOCIAL ENTERPRISES TO ACCESS NEW MARKETS

Future value chains don’t just need to be more productive; they need to be more sustainable. To achieve this, social procurement can be part of the solution.

Social procurement is a practice that involves the intentional buying of goods and services from social enterprises and other organizations that have a positive social and/or environmental impact. By redirecting a portion of their purchasing power to these organizations, companies (and all other stakeholders in the market) can support the growth and development of the social enterprise sector and provide quality products that improve the health and well-being of people and the planet, while also reaching their own ESG goals.

But how can we make value chains more sustainable and social enterprises part of corporate procurement networks? One way is to ensure social enterprises are a significant element of a business’ inclusion strategy.

As we know, SAP has the world’s largest business-to-business network, and CSR plays a vital role in driving social procurement initiatives. We embed social entrepreneurs’ innovations into SAP’s value chain and vast SAP Ariba Network which hosts $3 trillion+ transactions!

This allows us to engage more people in service of human and planetary needs instead of servicing waste flows. It also enables us to leverage the right tools to make more sustainable and inclusive business decisions.

When it came to social procurement within the sustainability sector in 2022, we procured businesses within:

• Technical services: Operating in the world of business analytics, test automation, and software development, Auticon’s employees all have autism and strengths in logic, detail, and pattern recognition, as well as a propensity for concentration and a pronounced interest in IT, physics, mathematics, and technology – which is typical for many people with autism. The company services several small and medium-sized enterprises with various IT projects.

• Office supplies/food delivery: Potluck Café is a social enterprise providing catering services to SAP’s local offices in Vancouver. In addition to bringing approximately 30,000 nutritious meals each year to low-income people, the company has contributed about $4 million to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside through its employee payroll.

HAVE Culinary Training Society provides food service job training and work opportunities to individuals in Vancouver who experience barriers to employment. HAVE students are youth and adults facing mental and physical disabilities, poverty, addiction, and homelessness. As part of SAP’s support, the school delivers fruit daily to the local SAP office, which creates jobs for drivers.

• Marketing: In today’s sustainable age, Blue Dot was born as a solution for businesses needing better, more sustainable swag options. Sourcing products that create less waste, offer greater transparency and are of better quality, the organization’s proprietary platform captures impact data on every product so companies can shop according to their sustainability and social care values. As a result, the purchases support sustainable business, create relationships, build brands, and ultimately help the environment.

We also collaborate with social enterprise community partners to build social and business capacity amongst social enterprises while integrating them into value chains worldwide. This is achieved in partnership with Buy Social USA, Buy Social Canada, Good Market, Social Enterprise NL, Social Entrepreneurship Netzwerk Deutschland (SEND), and Social Traders, amongst others.

For SAP and many of the organizations we partner with through the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, we can agree that the strongest value chains in the future will be regenerative, circular, and inclusive.

Together with our global, regional and local partners, we can grow the footprint of social enterprises. It’s a win-win-win for social enterprises, corporations, and the world!

FURTHER INITIATIVES

When social enterprises work together with corporates, they can significantly accelerate local community impact. This has been a clear result of the initiatives taking place in our various regions such as Social Traders Grow (Australia), Social Innomarathon (Latin America), and makesense (France).

SOCIAL TRADERS GROW

SAP is a member of Social Traders, an organization dedicated to creating a more inclusive and equitable Australia by making buying from social enterprises the norm. In 2022, we provided eight certified social enterprises with membership packages to the Social Traders Grow enterprise development program. Grow is tailored for those wanting to take their business vmodels to new heights and this year’s membership recipients included PlateitForward, Pixii, Farmwal, Green Collect, Give Industries, Kua Coffee, Social Good Outpost and Multicultural Consulting Services.

SOCIAL INNOMARATHON

SAP and Socialab teamed up again for the 2022 Social Innomarathon which challenges startups and impact companies to create solutions for a better world. This year’s Innomarathon called on these organizations to tackle issues such as digital illiteracy, climate change, education, unemployment, and the circular economy.

Eatcloud, a Brazilian startup that reduces food waste, fights hunger, and helps the environment, was the winner of Social Innomarathon 2022. They invented an app that is changing the lives of vulnerable, hungry people. Through artificial intelligence, the app connects food donors with populations in need. They traveled to SAP Labs in Brazil, one of SAP’s most important innovation, research, and technology centers, and met experts in the innovation/ technology ecosystem and presented their final proposal for a product or service with SAP integration potential.

makesense FRANCE

makesense, a global community of passionate entrepreneurs, committed citizens and innovative organizations, has accelerated social entrepreneurship worldwide since 2014 by providing tailored support to help entrepreneurs achieve their goals.

In 2022, SAP continued its partnership with makesense with approximately 150 SAP volunteers helping to kickstart, accelerate and scale social enterprises, while also supporting Tech for Good awareness in France. This year saw our volunteers working across nine new projects with 18 entrepreneurs, positively impacting the lives of nearly 50,000 people. This now brings the total number of French makesense social startups mentored by SAP volunteers to 55 over the past eight years.

REASONS

To develop skills so young people can take advantage of the green economy. In the short term, the transition to creating a more sustainable world will, unfortunately, not benefit everyone. For example, there are likely to be formidable, interconnected challenges for those who do not have the right resources and skills to participate in this reshaped sustainable economy, leaving the most vulnerable to continue to be the most deeply impacted. This is why we develop future skills to ensure that no young person is left behind because of their socioeconomic status. And to ensure equal access to the opportunities that the green economy will bring, including the 100 million new jobs estimated by the International Labour Organization.

To prepare young people for future jobs in tech. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) predicts that 1.1 billion jobs are liable to be radically transformed by technology in the next decade. Therefore, we must build young people’s skills today to ensure they are prepared for future employment.

To expand the SAP ecosystem and talent pipeline. The International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that 600 000 SAP-related roles will be created in the company’s ecosystem to meet its growth trajectory. This is one reason why we partner with UNICEF and Generation Unlimited and have programs such as SAP Educate to Employ to ensure that young people are equipped with the necessary skills to succeed in the digital and green economy.

To strengthen engagements with our customers. Our multistakeholder partnership approach allows us to collaborate with partners and customers from various industries. These collaborations and long-term engagements will enable us to contribute to the common goal of equitable access to education and employment.

To play our part in bringing about social and environmental change. Across the globe, education has been a significant factor in building stable governance and improving society by reducing poverty, fostering economic growth, and achieving gender equality. Further, higher levels of education are associated with more environmentally friendly lifestyles, lower disaster-related deaths, and better farming practices.

SAP PARTNERSHIP WITH UNICEF AND GENERATION UNLIMITED – A SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY

DID YOU KNOW

SAP and UNICEF, partnership reached more than 7.6M+

young people in India, Türkiye, and Vietnam

Here’s a recap of what we achieved in India, Türkiye and Vietnam

In India

our focus has been on three areas primarily in the states Gujarat and Rajasthan: adapt and digitize UNICEF’s life skills resource pack in schools, provide career guidance in elementary and secondary school and develop a Social Innovation Master Trainer program for schoolteachers to provide adolescents with social innovation curriculum. As a result, 3,000 teachers were trained in using the digitized life skills resource packs, 1.5M young people are actively accessing the career guidance portal, close to 50,000 students received personal career counselling and 24,000 students across 1,500 schools were trained on social innovation.

In Türkiye

our collaboration with the Ministry of National Education and UNICEF Türkiye has established a network of Design and Skills Labs across Türkiye providing young people with step-bystep digital education and training. We have installed 763 of these labs in upper-secondary schools and created a national Teacher’s Manual, accessed by over 32,000 teachers and

benefited over 611,000 Turkish teenagers, 55% of whom are young women. Over the last three years, our collaboration has provided over 1 million Turkish youth access to interactive learning portals to learn critical digital skills, share knowledge and experiences, and develop teamwork and self-expression skills.

In Vietnam

we collaborated with the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to support the development of digital learning curricula and transferable skills at primary and secondary schools and Technical and Vocational Education & Training (TVET) centers. To maximize the reach of this curriculum, we established a cascade training model that trained 2,199 master trainers in the use of technology and social innovation, thereby indirectly benefiting over 700,000 teachers who disseminated this information to 10 million young people nationwide, including those from remote communities and ethnic minorities.

SAP RENEWS THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH UNICEF AND GENERATION UNLIMITED

FAST FACT

72%

of the global skills mismatch is attributed to under-education. This means there is a gap between what is taught and what is needed by the labor market. For this reason, SAP is working on a new program called SAP Educate to Employ.

Earlier this year, SAP committed another three years with UNICEF to support Generation Unlimited (GenU) to help prepare young people for the workforce. We have renewed the partnership for three more years in two ways:

First, SAP will support GenU and the Youth Marketplace Agency (Yoma - an online learning platform) to enable young people to find jobs in the digital and green economy. In the first year, we plan to reach more than 500,000 young people in Nigeria, Kenya, the Philippines, and South Africa with learning opportunities for soft and digital skills.

Second, SAP, UNICEF, and GenU will pilot SAP Educate to Employ, supporting learningto-earning pathways in the digital and green economy for young people. The program equips them with the hard and soft skills needed to flourish in the global economy. In detail, young people will gain on-the-job experience and critical future-oriented skills and benefit from coaching and mentorship to help them launch their careers in the SAP customer and partner ecosystem. The new program will launch in early 2023.

CODE UNNATI INDIA

Launched in June 2017 with SAP India

Corporate Social Responsibility, Code Unnati is our corporate-to-citizen initiative to impart digital literacy among adolescents, citizens, and children and employable IT skills among youth. Over the years and in partnership with SAP customers and partners, we have launched several initiatives under the Code Unnati umbrella.

In 2022, SAP announced a joint community outreach with Amul, a food product organization in India. The partnership will transform the lives of 1.5 million Indians, including children, adolescents, youth, women, and farmers, through knowledge transfer and technology capacity building. The initiative is designed to focus on social entrepreneurship, enablement of a skilled workforce, digital inclusion, and bridging the gender equality gap in the community. Under this initiative, over 20,000 young women will be given digital training across 70 villages in Anand and six Gujarat districts. The project will enable women to start their own small businesses.

In 2021 SAP India and Microsoft announced the launch of a joint skilling program, the Tech Saksham Program (TSP), for empowering young female students from underserved communities to build careers in technology. The program aims to assist with employability skills amongst those pursuing higher education in the sciences, computer applications, vocational areas, and engineering by imparting the critical skills required to secure jobs in the market. Since its launch, the program has registered 2,456 students from 43 different colleges in over seven states across India.

A TESTIMONIAL FROM A TECHSAKSHAM STUDENT:

Naina Pardeshi-Aurangabad says that throughout her higher education, she focused on improving her technical skills through add-on courses and achieved a perfect score in the MS-CIT (IT literacy certification) course.

This success made her believe in her technical skills and prompted her to pursue a technical course. Naina wanted to learn about the Linux Operation System (OS). Through self-study, she tried to gain this knowledge with the help of online resources, which were available thanks to an open-source community providing many learning resources. Despite her determination, she faced multiple roadblocks, including information overload, lack of hands-on experience, and the progressively high course cost, limiting her learning.

She shares, “Since I joined the TechSaksham program, I’ve learned many more technical skills that I didn’t know before, and now I can say I am good at them. Previously, I tried to learn from documentation shared by cloud providers like AWS and Azure. However, I couldn’t understand some concepts as the documentation ran into hundreds of pages. In TechSaksham, we were taught with the utmost simplicity to understand the same concepts.”

DIGITAL SKILLS FOR TODAY

Did you know that since the establishment of in 2016, the CSR program has impacted over 126,000 lives in over 14 countries?

The Digital Skills for Today program is enabling young generations to envision the future of work and adapt to the workplace of tomorrow. The partnership between SAP, Injaz Al Arab, RBK, and Re:Coded is empowering refugees and youth in the Middle East, addressing several regional challenges including youth unemployment, inadequate workforce readiness, and a lack of digital skills training. From early education to employment, the program equips young people with the digital skills they need to vsucceed in a rapidly changing world. This year, 100% of our UX/UI program graduates secured meaningful job outcomes within six

OUR CODING INITIATIVES

At SAP, we understand that the future will require digital skills, which is why we empower youth from all walks of life with the necessary skills for the future, including coding. We have several coding and programing initiatives across various regions, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America:

In Europe, we run Meet and Code, which enables nongovernment organizations (NGOs) to reach out to young people and get them excited about the possibilities of IT. In October 2022, Meet and Code workshops reached over 33,700 young people across, with approximately one-third of the workshop participants citing that they have a refugee background. SAP is founding partner with TechSoup and Haus des Stiftens gGmbH. Since 2017, the initiative has successfully reached 243,000 young people between the ages of 8 - 24 in 35 European countries, enabling more than 6,700 coding projects hosted by local non-profits. 49% of the events took place in cities with less than 100.000 inhabitants.

We are proud to have developed the African continent’s most extensive digital skills program, Africa Code Week. Since 2015, the program has reached over 12 million African teachers and children. Looking ahead, the program will shift into

successfully engaged 2,6 Million children across the entire continent of Africa, out of which 48% were girls, confirming our common determination to build a sustainable and inclusive legacy for a digitally empowered Africa.

In Southeast Asia, the ASEAN Data Science Explorers (ASEANDSE) initiative seeks to engage and prepare today’s youth for tomorrow’s world. Founded in partnership with the ASEAN Foundation, ASEANDSE is a regional data analytics competition targeting tertiary students with ASEAN nationality across the 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS). Since 2017, ASEAN Data Science Explorers has provided essential digital skills to over 43,800 youths and 2,600 educators.

phase two, where it will partner closely with policymakers and governments to help transform Africa’s education agenda by including digital literacy in national curricula. Driven by the activation of Africa Code Week’s next stage of development, the program

Latin Code Week, cocreated by SAP and JA Americas, aims to empower Latin American students with the technological tools and skills for the future and encourage them to study careers related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Over the years, the program has reached more than 9,000 students from 11 different countries, with the support of more than 800 mentors. This year, the program ran for the seventh time, starting in Mexico before continuing to the rest of the countries in the region. The 2022 challenge was to create innovative solutions that promote the circular economy. This year’s winner comes from Costa Rica and is called A Farm. A Farm is a self-sustaining farm that produces a biodegradable material made of corn to replace Styrofoam (that foamy material generally used to make disposable coffee cups, among other things).

YOUNG ICT EXPLORERS (YICTE)

Launched 13 years ago, the Young ICT Explorers (YICTE) is a nonprofit competition created by SAP, supported by CSIRO Digital Careers, The Smith Family, Kinetic IT, and School Bytes. It encourages primary and high school students in Australia and New Zealand to solve real-world problems or showcase their passions using technology.

In 2022, 723 students from 76 schools across Australia submitted technology-based projects that solved real-world problems, ranging from improving recycling to assisting the most vulnerable members of the community and emergency and crisis preparedness.

30 percent of participants in the YICTE competition came from The Smith Family partner schools, one of the partners of SAP’s Young ICT Explorers Accelerator Program The program was designed to provide schools and teachers in low socioeconomic communities with the resources and knowledge needed to prepare more young Australians for the digital careers of the future.

To date, nearly 8,000 students have taken part from approximately 850 schools across Australia and New Zealand.

FURTHER INITIATIVES

Our focus on employability and employment for young people in need is also replicated in the programs run in our various regions. Below, we shine a light on other programs like ERPsim (Japan) and Digital Promise (North America), Social Impact Award (Europe), Skill Immersion Lab (North America).

SKILL IMMERSION LAB

The Skill Immersion Lab was established in 2021 in collaboration with JFFLabs, a division of JFF, a national nonprofit dedicated to transforming the American workforce and education system. The program trains students in essential skills such as communication, problem-solving, and leadership by utilizing virtual reality (VR) headsets and high-quality immersive learning modules. From the outset of the program, we saw impressive results. For example, there was a 148% improvement in communication skills practiced during the first VR lesson completed by learners. Looking at the program as a whole, 85% of students who completed it felt they learned more about communication skills through these virtual reality lessons. One unintended consequence of Skill Immersion Lab is that this type of learning boosts a student’s sense of belonging. Another long-time collaborator, 100kin10, has also completed significant work on the value of belonging in the classroom. They discovered that the sense of belonging was the most important predictor of a student’s persistence in STEM education.

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOLS AND DIGITAL PROMISE

SAP launched the Early College High School program in 2013; since its inception, it has supported over 2,000 students from underresourced and historically marginalized communities across North America. The program aims to empower public schools to curate distinct educational programs centered around inclusion in STEM, postsecondary readiness, and workforce skill development.

In 2022, we launched a survey shared with the school community and Digital Promise members, including nearly 130 program alums. The alums accounted for roughly one-fifth of the graduating cohorts surveyed by the early college high schools.

The results revealed that 85% of respondents completed or are pursuing postsecondary degrees, with 63% enrolled in STEM-related degree programs. This is in stark contrast to the national average in the United States, where only 51% of adults have received postsecondary education, and only 41% pursue STEM-related degrees.

This reveals a significantly higher number of STEM majors within the program and an increased likelihood that students will pursue STEM and technical careers after graduation.

ERPsim

ERPsim was launched in 2016 to empower high school students with various business skills, including leadership, teamwork, communication, data analysis, and decision-making. The ERPsim sessions are hosted by NPO Clack, an organization that supports high school students with financial and environmental difficulties in the Kansai region. In 2022, SAP conducted seven sessions with 175 participants, bringing the total number of participants helped over the past six years to well over 1,000.

SOCIAL IMPACT AWARD

Social Impact Award (SIA) empowers youth in 18 countries across Europe, Central Asia, and Africa to make a difference. We support their development into active agents of change who build social ventures and innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.

SIA does this by hosting local events and organizing workshops about social entrepreneurship. SIA also runs incubators to help validate and prototype impact and business models and mobilize a global community of social entrepreneurs whose stories inspire local youth to get involved and take action.

The total number of youth participants in 2022 for SIA was 3858, with 128 from Ukraine. In total, 27 SAP employees volunteered, the majority of whom were SAP country MDs. Furthermore, SAP employees volunteered for a total of 233 hours, of which 35 were served in Ukraine. Females made up 43% of all participants.

COLLABORATE SUSTAINABILITY

The Collaborate for Sustainability focus area extends SAP’s CSR framework to focus on opportunities and partnerships around environmental sustainability. Why? Because environmental, economic, and social aspects influence our world in a symbiotic way. Any detrimental impact on economic or ecological systems will damage the social systems and disproportionately affect generally marginalized communities.

IMPACT IN NUMBERS

20K+ Employees Engaged

117+ Volunteer Hours

Keeping in mind this delicate ecosystem, we have recognized that we must approach our efforts holistically. We are therefore partnering with other sustainability-focused teams to meet the current needs of the present generation while also considering the success of future generations.

REASONS

WHY WE NEED TO COLLABORATE FOR SUSTAINABILITY:

To create equitable access across the world to the green economy. Because a more sustainable world does not mean that everyone benefits from this transition in the short term. Not only might there be formidable challenges for people who do not have the right skills to participate in this reshaped sustainable economy. But unfortunately, environmental challenges frequently affect vulnerable communities the most, for instance, in Pakistan, where an extensive flood caused 1,739 deaths and displaced 7 million people.

To extend SAP’s program offerings to social businesses that drive and contribute to climate action and build toward a circular economy. SAP empowers these s ocial enterprises to run better and become corporate-ready.

To expand employee engagement opportunities that address SAP’s entire sustainability strategy. SAP offers a variety of corporate volunteering opportunities and pro bono consulting programs that allow our employees to use their professional skills to drive forward solutions that can change the world.

To develop and expand young climate leader cohorts in all regions. They are the driving force behind solutions to climate change, they are the ones who are taking charge of their own future, but they need our support. Collaborating for sustainability helps us to empower future leaders to choose differently, operate differently, and make their unique impact.

To build a sustainable environment now to ensure our future generations’ success. It was revealed at the recent United Nations Climate Conference (COP27) that not much progress has been made towards achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Now is the time for action, especially from the private sector.

SIGNATURE INITIATIVES

As SAP’s overarching CSR strategy is about investing in the communities where the company operates, employees are invited on this journey. The very best of what we do to bring our strategy to life is always done in partnership. By working together, we can achieve great things. SAP believes the private sector can play a vital role in leveling the playing field, driving innovation, and fostering economic growth. This we are achieving via programs in our various regions which speak to our sustainability strategy and extend our ‘acceleration’ programs to social businesses that drive and contribute to climate action and circular economy goals. We are proud to highlight a number of global initiatives which show SAPs purpose in action when it comes to Collaborating for Sustainability.

PRO BONO CONSULTING IN THE GREEN ECONOMY

Aligned with SAP’s strategic focus to Collaborate for Sustainability, the SAP Social Sabbatical – a portfolio of global pro-bono consulting programs - expanded its focus to include social businesses that are driving positive impact in climate action and circular economy in 2022. These additional focus areas allow the program to contribute across all elements of the SAP Sustainability framework while keeping the “social” focus at the center of it.

This year, Social Sabbatical participants worked with:

Moreloop:

Based in Bangkok, Thailand, Moreloop was founded in 2018 to reduce industrial waste with a circular economy marketplace model. This is done by curating quality, surplus fabrics from factories and matching them through the organization’s platform with potential customers to maximize their value and minimize waste in the fashion industry.

For the past five years, the company has grown organically by offering products and services with three different business models: the platform, B2B and B2C. To accelerate this, SAP Social Sabbatical participants developed a growth strategy, including a market opportunity analysis and roadmap with a clear execution plan for the next three years.

Kosmotive:

To end period poverty in Rwanda, this women-led social enterprise based in Kigali manufactures reusable feminine hygiene products called KosmoPads.

These are reusable for two years and save consumers 88% of the money that they would have spent on disposable pads. The products are free from toxins, absorbent and breathable, making them more comfortable for those allergic to chemicals in disposable pads.

SAP Social Sabbatical participants helped to connect all the data recorded from purchasing raw materials to production and storage of finished products as well as distribution and recording accurate details about end users. This will allow follow up on distribution performance by area or by demographics of end users.

FURTHER INITIATIVES

These are further initiatives that we drive within Collaborate for Sustainability:

SAP Technology Helped Fundação Amazônia Sustentável Improve Its Environmental and Social Impact

By supporting non-government organizations (NGOs) such as Fundação Amazonas Sustentável (FAS), we can contribute towards sustainability.

This Brazilian company protects the environment, empowers riverside and Indigenous communities, and promotes responsible entrepreneurship in its bioeconomy chains. To bolster this initiative, SAP donated a data intelligence software package running on SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, and SAP Sustainability Control Tower. This was one of the first use cases worldwide where SAP technology was adopted for intelligent data processing focused on sustainable development.

Now, FAS will have the analytical knowledge required to optimally and transparently allocate donated resources, accurately map investments, ensure that its projects are aligned with the UN SDGs and guarantee high positive social and environmental impacts in each of its initiatives.

In total, these new actions are estimated to have positive impacts on more than 96,000 people in 900 communities in Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname, Peru and Venezuela.

21 MILLION TREES BY 2025

CSR contributes to SAP’s goal to restore ecosystems and foster sustainable development by planting 21 million trees before the end of 2025. Planting trees might sound simple. But to avoid doing more harm than good in the long run, reforestation projects must be in harmony with the needs of the local community and ecosystem. That’s why SAP looks for reputable and experienced partners such as ReForest Now and Eden Reforestation Projects, applying a robust selection and monitoring process to ensure that planted trees are very likely to deliver the anticipated benefits. We donate to charitable organizations, extending support to projects in countries such as Australia, Brazil, Haiti, Indonesia, Nepal, Madagascar, and the UK.

Since 2012, SAP has also partnered with the Livelihood Carbon Funds (LCF), where our investments have funded the planting of over 10 million trees in Senegal, Rwanda, India, Indonesia, Guatemala, and Mexico. In contrast to our donations, SAP receives carbon credits from this investment in nature.

RAINFORESTS IN AUSTRALIA

In New South Wales (NSW), ReForest Now is battling to restore Big Scrub. This sub-tropical rainforest covered the eastern coastline of Australia until it was nearly wholly decimated by logging in the nineteenth century.

In February 2022, record-breaking floods deluged NSW including the ReForest Now nursery, but most seedlings survived, and SAP plans to fund additional trees in the next planting season (ReForest Now Thanks SAP).

MANGROVE FORESTS IN MADAGASCAR

For centuries, the mangrove forests along the Betsiboka river gave the local Malagasy community in Moraharivo, Madagascar, protection from erosion as well as income and food from fishing before logging operations destroyed these forests. Now, soil pours down the hillsides, clogging coastal waterways and devastating animal habitats as well as livelihoods.

To restore the lost mangrove forests and help heal the ecosystem, Eden Reforestation Projects have employed 85 planters from the local community. Since 2020, SAP has funded the planting of approximately 900,000 mangrove trees.

MANGROVE FORESTS IN KENYA

Mangroves sequester 10 times more carbon than terrestrial trees, and their decline can accelerate global warming. Unfortunately, El Nino rains and human activities in Kenya have caused forest destruction along Tudor Creek. SAP teamed up with the government of Kenya, and other companies, and NGOs to rebuild the mangrove forests of Tudor Creek under the umbrella of the Tree for 50 matching scheme.

The national development blueprints, including the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Kenya Vision 2030, and the National Forest Programme, aim to increase and maintain tree cover to at least 10% of Kenya’s land area by 2030. International forest restoration companies, such as Blue Forest, were invited to work with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) in tree planting projects, including mangroves. In July 2021, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) AQDAR signed a partnership agreement with Impact Adventures, the parent company of Blue Forest, to plant 50,000 mangrove trees in Abu Dhabi and a matching 50,000 mangroves in Kenya as part of the Tree for 50 campaign. Throughout 2022, the project was successfully implemented with the help of local NGO, Brain Youth Group and exceeded its target with 50,125 mangrove trees planted.

APJ BEACH CLEANING

Did you know that globally there are 150 million metric tons of plastic in the sea, with an estimated 8 million metric tons more added yearly? If nothing is done, this will triple by 2040. Seventy-one percent of all mismanaged plastic comes from Asia with microplastics being widely abundant in the continent’s marine ecosystems.

Earlier this year, 400+ employees from five Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) market units came together on Earth Day to perform a waterway clean-up. The volunteers spent over 1,100+ hours and collected 1,819KG of debris, with straws and bottles being some of the top items.

This is crucial as plastics in oceans disrupt the carbon cycle, affecting the water column’s stability and the ocean’s heat balance by scattering and attenuating incoming solar radiation. Additionally, bacteria feeding on the organic matter at the sea surface will attach to the plastic, producing more CO2. Therefore, removing debris and plastics from the ocean or flowing to the ocean through waterway clean-ups actively supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)13 on Climate Action and Goal 14 on Life Below Water.

SAP and ChangemakerXchange

leverage opportunities arising from two successive COP meetings being held in MENA

To make the most of the opportunities created by having MENA as the site of two successive COP meetings, SAP and ChangemakerXchange are bringing together the region’s leading young changemakers. In Cairo, after COP27 – and to be repeated in Dubai after COP28 – ChangemakerXchange invited 20 of the region’s leading young climate changemakers to undertake a five-day journey focusing on human connection, peer-learning, and impact strategies. This allowed them to reflect on the outcomes of COP27 for their region and take collective action. Participants have now embarked on an intensive online capacity-building program, with sessions around preventing burnout, organizational development, fundraising, and team culture.

YOUTH CLIMATE INITIATIVE

In August 2022, we piloted the Youth Climate Initiative with Goodwall, a global program with the goal to gather the voices of youth around the world and bring them to COP27 to influence the debate on climate change. Our joint mission is to introduce and instill an entrepreneurial mindset, skillset and spirit in thousands of young people while collecting and promoting youth voices to drive solutions for climate change. The program was run for two months and focused on 5 main pillars:

One Grand Debate to gather the voices of young people.

1 Thematic pillars inspired by the COP27 themes.

2 Ecopreneurship pitch competition with financial rewards.

3 Learning, upskilling and rewards for young participants.

4 Speakers and Influencers’ videos and motivational content.
