US EditionGermany's SAP software giant to abandon diversity measures
- Germany's software company SAP announced on Friday it will abandon its goal of 40 percent female employees and cut several diversity programs in the US.
- SAP's decision follows new US administration requirements and legal threats against diversity initiatives, as confirmed by company spokespeople and related reports.
- The company will also stop applying quotas for women in management roles in the US and merge its diversity and inclusion department with another unit.
- SAP employs around 120,000 people worldwide, including 17,000 in the US where 16 percent of its workforce is located, and it seeks to conform fully with legal requisites.
- This move, similar to T-Mobile’s earlier change, suggests German firms are adjusting diversity efforts to align with US policies restricting so-called 'woke' programs.
