SAP Announces the Social Sabbatical

CDC Development Solutions is excited to announce a brand new ICV client: SAP. Read the full announcement statement from Brittany Lothe, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility:

In today’s global economy, the most successful leaders are those citizens who can effectively collaborate and communicate with people from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives.

At SAP, we’re always exploring innovative ways to increase leadership development, employee engagement and impact on society through our business expertise. To that end, earlier this week we launched the application process for the SAP Social Sabbatical pilots.

The SAP Social Sabbatical is designed as a short term, exclusive development opportunity in which an international, cross-board area team of High Potential employees will build capacity and solve business challenges with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that work with emerging entrepreneurs in select markets. This is just one piece of our overarching social investment portfolio to support emerging entrepreneurs in Brazil and India. South Africa will be the third pilot location for the Social Sabbatical.

The first Social Sabbatical team will travel to Belo Horizonte, Brazil starting July.
