German software giant SAP will cut several of its diversity programmes to abide by new requirements of the US administration, a spokesman told AFP on Sunday, confirming reports in the local press.

They try to frame it as "legal requirement" while US doesn't have any legal right or even an ability to verify this.

All of this is just pandering and corruption.

I believe that the article is talking about the US-based SAP company. Not the German based one. I think the German SAP will still honor german law.

Yes but even within US the company is not required to obey this executive order in any capacity. From what I understand it's completely meaningless and can be safely ignored by anyone but the federal government.

Ah ok. Thanks.
