Corporate Social Responsibility
as the basis for business
Customers, investors, employees, partners and representatives of public institutions are all stakeholders in our company. Their association with Software AG entitles them to achieve their goals with a partner who works in a socially responsible manner. We consider the needs of our stakeholders a holistic responsibility, which leads to sustainable business success and added value in society.
Never before has the world been as globally connected as it is today. We are all living in a global village: rooted in one place, but connected with the world. The cause is globalization, the increasing political and economic integration between countries based on mobility and information technology.
The globalization and digitization of society have led to huge advances in productivity. Many processes have become faster, cheaper and more efficient as a result of digitization. Countless new products and services have been created. New providers and buyers have generated new income and increased wealth in many places.
But a global world still poses global threats, such as poverty, water and energy shortages and global warming. The citizens of the global village demand answers from governments and companies on how these threats can be reduced. The challenges are complex and require a coordinated approach from the political and business communities – they require responsible action on the part of each individual.
For us at Software AG acting responsibly means being a successful enterprise in a holistic sense.
For us, holistic business success means:
- Making our customers globally successful
- Researching and developing our own solutions
- Setting standards, developing patents
- Being a convincing and reliable partner for our partners
- Developing our employees with the Company
- Growing and being profitable
- Benefiting society
- Maintaining exemplary values and social standards in our day-to-day business operations
- Promoting education and innovation: globally and at our locations
Our software solutions can serve as tools for transparency and trust, speed and control, flexibility and efficiency. These solutions are, among other things, our contribution to minimizing global crises. They support those who understand and are aware of their responsibility. We are aware of our responsibility.
