LEADING WITH PURPOSE

MAY 2021

EDITOR'S WELCOME Welcome to the third edition of our quarterly publication - Leading with Purpose!

We live in an industrial age linear model of “take, make, waste” in which over 91% of raw materials including fossil fuels aren’t reusable, and therefore wasted. This model has created a vicious cycle of economic, social and environmental inequality. To break this cycle, we must effect massive change.

Imagine a future that looks greener, cleaner, and more equal than the world we live in today. A world of ZERO emissions, ZERO waste, and ZERO inequality.

At SAP, we dare to not just dream about this aspiration, but to power the technology and innovation that is Vivek Bapat required to activate this bold vision into reality.

SVP, Purpose & Technology that can enable businesses to Sustainability fundamentally rethink how they manage their carbon Marketing footprints, design new business processes that create opportunity rather than generate waste and provide the transparency and regulatory compliance to hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of economic, social, and environmental governance.

Inspired by the notion that sustainable businesses can effectively lead the way to this ambition, we are launching a new platform, “Chasing ZERO.” “Chasing Zero” will feature executive thought leadership, provide unique points of view and insights into sustainability related transformation from some of the most forward-thinking companies in the world. It will highlight best practices from our global ecosystem of leading thinkers, academics, customers, and partners.

We hope the third edition of “Leading with Purpose” inspires the SAP ecosystem to collaboratively drive action towards the realization of a more sustainable future.

Explore the following pages to gain insight into the meaningful work happening across the company to deliver on our mission of “helping the world run better and improving people’s lives” as we chase zero together.
