SAP boss Klein fights against an outcry: Financial quota finally canceled!
USA - SAP CEO Christian Klein has decided to give up the desired women's quota of 40 percent for the company. This happened in the middle of growing concerns about the company's diversity policy, which is strongly influenced by the new regulations under US President Trump. Klein explains that the decision is based on dealing with the hard competition in the United States, where SAP achieves a significant part of its sales. In 2024, the company generated almost a third of its 34.2 billion euros in turnover in the United States, which makes it clear how important this market is for SAP. According to BR The step of SAP has far-reaching effects on diversity initiatives in the industry. Companies like Siemens and BMW observe the situation carefully and consider to what extent they have to adapt their own guidelines. While Siemens does not want to comment on possible sanctions, BMW emphasizes the importance of diverse perspectives and the commitment to diversity. A recently published study by McKinsey proves that companies with a higher number of women in management positions are more likely to be over average. This knowledge is confirmed by the increase in the proportion of women in German management team of 15 percent since 2020. Nevertheless, the current development shows that Germany has one of the lowest women's shares in management positions among European countries. The emerging trends of diversity and inclusion are at stake. Small and SAP have not set their programs, but emphasize that local standards will gain in importance. The question remains how diversity policy will develop in a changing regulatory environment and what measures the companies will take in order not to endanger business success. effects on the market and diversity
