Overview

• SAP has officially ended its goal of achieving a 40% female workforce, citing external legal and political developments in the U.S.
• The company will no longer include U.S. operations in its calculations of women in leadership quotas.
• Gender diversity has been removed as a criterion for executive bonuses, replaced by a Business Health Culture Index focused on employee well-being.
• SAP’s independent Diversity & Inclusion Office will be merged with its Corporate Social Responsibility department.
• The decision follows mounting pressure from the Trump administration's executive order banning DEI programs in U.S. federal agencies, which has also led other companies like T-Mobile US to scale back diversity initiatives.
