Overview

  • CEO Christian Klein said a presidential decree forced the software group to abandon its 40 percent women’s quota in the U.S.
  • The move removes gender‐diversity metrics from U.S. executive compensation and shifts measurement of women’s representation to regional levels.
  • U.S. operations account for nearly a third of SAP’s revenue, making eligibility for government contracts a decisive factor.
  • Klein affirmed that global diversity initiatives continue unchanged, with local benchmarks replacing a unified 40 percent target.
  • Telekom and Volkswagen have made similar adjustments to their U.S. women’s quotas amid heightened federal scrutiny of diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
