March 25, 2013 /3BL Media/ - SAP AG today announced its first Integrated Report, which brings together the information usually shared in an annual report with the information normally contained in a sustainability report.

The integrated report is a milestone in the company’s journey from having a “sustainability strategy” to making its corporate strategy more sustainable.

Highlights of the SAP Integrated Report 2012 include:

• Connecting financial and non-financial performance: The newly integrated approach allows the company to highlight the dependencies between financial and non-financial performance more easily.
• Innovation stories: They highlight why innovation matters to SAP customers and employees and how SAP solutions help drive sustainable growth.
• Thought leadership:  A refined carbon reduction strategy and an environmental data quality rating are introduced.
• Interactivity: Integration of Twitter and polls directly in the report, which allows people to engage with SAP.

The report complies with all accounting and disclosure standards applicable to SAP and meets the GRI application level A+ (confirmed by GRI). For the first time, SAP tagged the sustainability data with the GRI XBRL taxonomy.
