Securing the Future
Since 1976, commitment to employees, communities, education and the environment has been rooted in our DNA. It drives the innovation that we provide to our customers and makes a positive impact on the world.
We recognize that our customers’ businesses rely on relationship stability and strength in tenure to deliver trusted expertise and innovation. With remarkably low employee turnover, SAS retains our subject matter experts and the trusted advisers critical to our customers’ business needs.
SAS' world-renowned workplace culture has always directly contributed to innovation and satisfied customers. Because we keep our employees nurtured at all stages of their careers, they remain motivated, creative and loyal.
Analysts estimate that SAS annually saves millions of dollars on recruitment and training costs associated with low turnover. Couple that savings with a high annual revenue reinvestment in R&D, and it’s easy to see how our commitment to our people and their work directly influences the relationships and innovation we provide to our customers.
Sustainability for a brighter future
Since 1976, SAS has been a sustainability innovator through environmental, social and economic efforts. We work closely with employees, suppliers and customers to foster an award-winning, sustainable workplace that has a positive impact on our future. SAS reduces its environmental footprint with multiyear programs focused on energy conservation and solar projects, emission management, pollution mitigation, water conservation, waste reduction and recycling, procurement and green building.


Analytics helping humanity
Some people look at data and see numbers. Others look at numbers and see the potential to improve lives. SAS is proud to be part of the Data for Good movement, which encourages using data in meaningful ways to solve humanitarian issues around poverty, health, human rights, education and the environment. From helping tackle opioid addiction and safeguarding vulnerable children to protecting fragile species through conservation efforts, SAS’ analytics solutions change the world by analyzing data to solve critical humanitarian issues. Expanding on our social innovation efforts, SAS introduced GatherIQ™ – a crowdsourcing initiative bringing together volunteers to solve social challenges. The GatherIQ app has been downloaded by people in more than 70 countries who want to use data for good.
Beyond innovation, SAS has always been committed to three things: treating employees well, environmentally friendly practices and giving back to education.
