Education & Philanthropy
Meeting the challenges of tomorrow

The rise of new technologies demands a new generation of skills. For decades, SAS has supported education at all levels to shrink the analytics skills gap and prepare more students for college, work and success in the analytics economy. Education was a key pillar of the company’s $1 billion AI investment, announced in 2019.

SAS has deep roots in academia. Its founders were part of a consortium of eight universities to analyze vast amounts of agricultural data. These bold minds were pioneers in using data for the greater good. Decades later, education is still its primary philanthropic focus. From preschoolers to graduate students, SAS supports countless educational programs to help students from all backgrounds reach their full potential as future leaders and innovators.

As an essential part of its commitment to education and philanthropy, SAS contributes to charitable initiatives in the US and abroad to build stronger foundations for brighter futures. By driving efforts to improve education and society, SAS embraces its role in the greater global community.

Data for Good
Using data to serve the greater good

There is widespread evidence that big data analytics helps achieve short- and long-term development goals around the world. As the global leader in analytics, SAS seeks out opportunities where it can help create a brighter future for all.

SAS has always been an organization motivated by challenges to use its technology to build a better world. As the UN Sustainable Development Goals work to reduce inequalities and ensure healthy living, SAS’ social innovation initiative works to find creative ways to accelerate global progress and move the world toward a more sustainable future. One of the ways that SAS supports this goal is through 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 to equip orphans to overcome life threatening poverty to using analytics to help keep Special Olympics athletes safe during competitions, SAS is contributing to building a better world for the people and the planet.

SAS’ social impact programs would be impossible without the passion and willingness of SAS employees. With their analytical expertise and desire to contribute to the greater good, SAS^® technology is able to help solve the world’s most pressing needs.

Environmental Program
Innovation through workplace sustainability

While SAS helps more than 80,000 customers innovate for the future, the company itself is a sustainability innovator, from streaming data to improve operations through its smart campus project to powering office buildings with clean energy from its solar farms. SAS works closely with employees, suppliers and customers to reduce its environmental footprint with programs focused on energy conservation, emissions management, pollution mitigation, water conservation, green building and others. See how SAS uses its own software to collect, manage, calculate and report its global environmental footprint through these environmental performance reports that use SAS^® Visual Analytics.

In addition to its own sustainable initiatives, customers use SAS^’ analytic expertise and powerful software solutions to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Employees & Culture
World-changing innovation starts with happy employees

SAS’ culture has always been an integral part of who it is as a company, connecting the curious nature that started SAS and the spirit of innovation that moves it forward. Originating at its North Carolina headquarters and spreading to more than 150 global offices, SAS cultivates an award-winning culture anchored by meaningful work, empowering leadership and a world-class work environment.

Fostering the integration of work and life continues to make great business sense. So in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goal of providing good health and well-being, SAS remains strongly committed to promoting a world-class environment that inspires innovation. Throughout more than 40 years of analytics innovation, SAS has invested heavily in its workplace culture to make employees feel inspired and energized.

Governance & Management
Integrity, ethics and compliance

As a good corporate citizen, SAS knows its success depends on upholding high ethical standards in dealings with colleagues, customers, suppliers and competitors. This moral compass also steers SAS’ workplace culture, which attracts and retains like-minded employees who perpetuate these high standards.

Guided by its Code of Ethics, SAS is committed to maintaining its reputation as a company that conducts all aspects of the business with the utmost integrity. SAS compliance programs use training, policies, processes and audits to ensure compliance in areas such as anticorruption, international trade and privacy.

These practices have earned SAS its exceptional reputation as an ethical and responsible employer and business partner. As a result, SAS is known as a great place to work, a great company to do business with and a valued community member. SAS’ reputation is hard-earned and invaluable, so protecting it with constant diligence remains a top company priority.
