Pride@SAP: Empowering Change and Championing Diversity and Inclusion Since 2001

Story shared by Aparna Jairaj, SAP

Pride@SAP kicked off Pride month celebrations with an insightful discussion on the topic of intersectional allyship with Out & Equal, the premier organization working exclusively on LGBTQIA+ workplace equality. Julia White, chief marketing and solutions officer, member of the Executive Board of SAP SE, and sponsor of Pride@SAP, Supriya Jha, chief diversity and inclusion officer at SAP, and the global leadership of Pride@SAP explored the strength of embracing diverse identities, understanding intersectionality, and expanding our capacity for allyship. The audience gained insights into the impact of discrimination on individuals and organizations while developing vital skills to foster diversity and inclusion from Rebecca York, manager, Leadership, Learning & Development, Out and Equal.

This engaging event set the tone for a series of global and regional activities that spanned over 15 locations. On June 21, the team hosted Chris Rollins, founder & CEO, Ripple Effect Leadership, in an internal event on strengthening our path to allyship using small moments of vulnerability, kindness, empathy, curiosity, and humility to create ripple effects on your team, no matter where you sit in the organization, and impact your efforts toward inclusion.
