SAP Welcomes Resolution of Past Compliance Challenges with U.S. and South Africa Authorities

Statement

(English version)

We are pleased that SAP has reached agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regarding historic compliance issues, including matters in Indonesia which are relevant under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) due to its extra-territorial reach.

Our company statement can be found at www.sap.com.

SAP fully cooperated with the authorities, and these settlements close all compliance matters under investigation in the United States and South Africa.
The company separated from all responsible people, including in Indonesia, more than five years ago. The past conduct of certain former colleagues and former partners does not reflect SAP’s values or our commitment to ethical behavior.

SAP has made significant enhancements to our compliance program and internal controls over the past few years. Indeed, both the U.S. and South African authorities specifically highlighted SAP’s strong remediation, robust controls, and compliance enhancements.

As stated clearly in our Global Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Employees (www.sap.com/globalcode), SAP has zero tolerance for non-compliance and remains committed to working with customers and partners to focus our innovation, expertise and resources to help transform businesses and to continue to help drive innovation and prosperity in Indonesia and across all geographies in which SAP operates.

(Versi Bahasa Indonesia)

Kami menyambut baik kesepakatan-kesepakatan yang telah dicapai oleh SAP dengan Departemen Kehakiman (DOJ) Amerika Serikat (AS), Komisi Sekuritas dan Bursa AS (SEC) dan Otoritas Penuntut Nasional (NPA) Afrika Selatan terkait isu-isu seputar compliance yang sudah lama terjadi, termasuk hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan Indonesia yang relevan dengan U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) karena jangkauannya yang ekstra-teritorial.

Pernyataan perusahaan kami dapat ditemukan di www.sap.com.

SAP sepenuhnya bekerja sama dengan pihak berwenang, dan penyelesaian terhadap isu-isu ini menutup semua masalah compliance yang diselidiki di Amerika Serikat dan Afrika Selatan.

Perusahaan telah berpisah dari semua pihak yang bertanggung jawab, termasuk di Indonesia, atas isu ini lebih dari lima tahun yang lalu. Perilaku masa lalu dari mantan pegawai dan mantan mitra tertentu tidak mencerminkan nilai-nilai SAP atau komitmen kami terhadap perilaku etis.

SAP telah melakukan peningkatan yang signifikan terhadap program compliance dan kontrol internal kami selama beberapa tahun terakhir. Bahkan, otoritas AS dan Afrika Selatan secara khusus menggarisbawahi remediasi SAP yang kuat, proses kontrol yang kokoh, dan peningkatan proses compliance.

Seperti yang dinyatakan dengan jelas dalam Kode Global Etik dan Perilaku Bisnis untuk Karyawan (www.sap.com/globalcode), SAP tidak mentolerir pelanggaran compliance dan tetap berkomitmen untuk bekerja sama dengan pelanggan dan mitra untuk fokus terhadap inovasi, keahlian, dan sumber daya kami dalam membantu transformasi bisnis dan mendorong inovasi dan kemakmuran di Indonesia dan seluruh wilayah di mana SAP beroperasi.
