The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Task Force is an interdepartmental group that meets regularly to integrate these efforts across the business. These teams work closely with various departments and ensure that policies and initiatives regarding CSR are considered in all aspects of the business.EthicsEthics and Compliance -- Since 2005, SAS has offered courses to help employees better abide by the SAS Code of Ethics, internal policies and procedures and applicable external rules and regulations. ComplianceTrainingSAS provides this training to help all employees make the right choices when ethical and regulatory challenges arise. Government regulations and contractual commitments also require SAS to provide certain ethics and regulatory compliance training to employees and certain contract workers to protect the interests of SAS’ business partners, the government and society... The following training is required of all employees: Code of Business Ethics; Information Security; Export Controls Awareness; SAS Business Ethics in Selling, Buying and Competing; Respect in the Workplace; and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. SAS provides specialized training for personnel as needed. For example, California employees take (as required by California law) Sexual Harassment: Promoting Appropriate Behavior, and employees who work with military and intelligence sector government customers take Defense Export Controls (ITAR). In 2012, SAS expanded its training to include Privacy and Data Protection for Global Companies. This training covers how SAS complies with laws that ensure protection of our customers’, employees’ and partners’ private information. In-person, targeted compliance training is conducted periodically. For example, in 2012, attorneys in the Compliance group did in-person trainings related to export controls at our United Kingdom and Washington, DC-area offices, and our privacy attorney did specific training for SAS Solutions OnDemand employees.Corporate CitizenshipFinally, SAS gives this training to all employees so that the people of SAS can continue to make the company a good corporate citizen. Training is provided online worldwide to all employees, and targeted training is also provided in person to particular groups on specific issues, such as gift laws relating to government officials or export laws on encryption software exports.MonitoringSAS monitors compliance with its governance and ethics training programs in a variety of ways. For example, online training completions are tracked by a third party, as well as by SAS’ internal Learning Management System. Automated reminders are sent to those who have not completed the training programs as the deadline approaches, and managers are contacted as trainings become overdue. AnonymitySAS operates an electronic (email/Web-based) and telephonic ethics hotline that allows for anonymous employee complaints. Employees may also contact their manager or any other manager with whom they feel comfortable to provide feedback. SAS will not retaliate against anyone who makes a good faith report of ethical, regulatory or legal compliance issues. Additional information on employee feedback channels is provided in the Employee section. Anti-CorruptionSAS has an anti-corruption program consisting of contractual requirements in all agreements with contractors and consultants, an advance due diligence process for engaging with new suppliers and potential acquisition targets, ongoing due diligence screening of suppliers, in-person and online training, expense record and expenditure reviews and audits, and global outreach efforts through organizations such as the UN Global Compact. SAS did not report any incidents that happened to or involved SAS with regards to public policy, corruption, ethics, bribery or privacy issues in 2012. However, the state of Washington conducted an investigation into the actions of one of its government employees, which involved a purchase of SAS products. SAS investigated and concluded that it did not violate any laws or regulations, and no legal action was taken against SAS by the state of Washington. In part as a result of this investigation, however, SAS did provide additional anti-corruption training for employees involved in government sales.PrivacyThe Ethics and Compliance group in the SAS Legal Division ensures that personal data is used by SAS in compliance with applicable laws, SAS policies, and customer expectations. SAS Global Information Security information establishes processes and deploys technologies designed to protect the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data in the custody or control of SAS. The Ethics and Compliance group and Global Information Security work closely to manage data privacy issues and security by, among other things, establishing information governance policies, standards, guidelines and processes based on regulations, business needs and/or industry best practices. They also conduct periodic privacy and security related assessments and compliance reviews, including privacy impact assessments for newly developed or modified applications that may affect individual privacy interests. The Ethics and Compliance group ensures that SAS’ externally posted Privacy Statement accurately reflects its information collection and use practices. SAS’ Privacy Statement is global and applies not only to SAS US, but to its foreign subsidiaries and other business units. Translated versions of the Privacy Statement with country specific requirements are linked to the English version. SAS Legal and Government Affairs actively monitors privacy and data protection related legislation, including reviewing proposed and existing legislation, evaluating its impact on SAS’ business and strategic planning, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. SAS requires all its employees to complete training on privacy and information security. It publishes a monthly information security awareness newsletter, Security Sense, to help inform its employees about information security and privacy issues. SAS maintains a number of policies related to privacy and information security, including the following: * Collecting and Disclosing Employee Information. * Company Computer Systems. * Data Usage Policy. * Use and Disclosure of Company Confidential and Proprietary Information. * Global Human Resources Data Privacy Policy. In 2012, there were no substantiated complaints regarding breaches of customer privacy and losses of customer data.Supply Chain ManagementWe use tools such as service level agreements, benchmarking and supplier relationship management to monitor and manage our suppliers’ results. SAS has a Supplier Diversity group within its Corporate Services Division that is responsible for SAS’ supplier diversity process. Its goal is to develop and maintain effective relationships with suppliers that create incremental value throughout the life of each contract based upon economy, quality, environmental preservation and social values. Its primary functions include: • Reviewing RFPs and contracts and responding to customer inquiries with diversity requirements. • Preparing and providing diversity spending reporting to customers. • Providing information and access to SAS’ procurement opportunities by supporting and conducting various diversity activities and events (i.e. sponsorships, education and attendance). SAS uses competitive bidding to help ensure competition and fairness in the marketplace for suppliers. Forty-five percent of SAS’ 2012 spending was with suppliers whose remit-to address is in North Carolina. In 2012, SAS did not report any instances of anti-competitive behavior anti-trust violations or monopoly practices, nor were there any fines for noncompliance with laws and regulations.Governance & Ethicse3102b97-0297-4551-bb9c-b9919bee5c3b1Training, Policy & Process43e72a74-837d-4f4e-adc4-ee1d15ceea641.1bf239fc5-6c5c-4ce8-ad10-995edf997007LawsMaintain “zero tolerance-zero fines” for noncompliance with environmental, anti-corruption, trade and privacy laws.fa756983-6466-4976-ac3d-f168a1035a321.1.142e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a773802732013-01-012013-12-31Achieved “zero tolerance-zero fines” for noncompliance with environmental, anti-corruption, trade and privacy laws.2012-01-012012-12-31Privacy Course Release the global privacy course in seven languages.cc520cc0-ddb2-4f8d-9e09-4d87b78fd4b01.1.242e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a773802732013-01-012013-12-31SAS released an online, interactive training privacy course in 2012.

Investments in energy-efficient technologies and adherence to best practices of the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system have become standard practices for SAS building projects. Using SAS Sustainability Management and SAS Visual Analytics software, we continued to enhance our ability to track environmental metrics to help us understand our environmental footprint in 2012 and beyond. 8.52012-01-012012-12-31db077762-5d63-46f7-82c5-c007df6b0b38Global Energy ConsumptionMegawatt Hours2013-01-012013-12-31Percent Difference = 0.5% -- The increase in global energy use was due primarily to the expansion of the Data Center. Over the past decade, the challenge of delivering timely information to support enterprise analytics has increased exponentially. The deployment of additional computing and storage solutions, combined with IT globalization at corporate headquarters, has increased demand for energy and data center space. Existing facilities were reaching capacity and could not be efficiently expanded to maintain the high level of support expected by SAS’ customers. The solution was to design and construct a dedicated computing facility, emphasizing efficiency, flexibility and sustainability. 507,1632012-01-012012-12-312011 EMEA and US totals increased slightly due to restated supplier invoice totals.501,1542011-01-012011-12-31beb2cf11-86d8-4e7d-8c6c-ea4a9ea812cdData Center Power UsagePUE2013-01-012013-12-31This past year, the new Data Center achieved an average power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.35. This remained unchanged from 2011. The data center industry uses the PUE calculation as a measure of efficiency. A PUE of 2.0 means that for every watt of IT power consumed, an additional watt is consumed to cool and distribute power in support of the IT equipment. A data center is more efficient when it uses less energy to run the facility than to power the IT equipment. Thus, the closer it gets to a PUE of 1.0, the more efficient it is. Other larger growth percentages are due to adding offices in areas with a small office footprint, including Canada and Latin America. 1.352012-01-012012-12-311.352011-01-012011-12-31Greenhouse GasManage greenhouse gas emissions.49425c21-e214-46d6-970c-8f4dd22cd41b5.2.2Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions -- Because a majority of our emissions are related to electricity use, our energy efficiency initiatives have a direct impact on our overall greenhouse gas emissions. In 2012, SAS reduced its carbon emissions by 1 percent, or 854 tonnes of carbon dioxide globally. The Environmental Management Program uses SAS solutions to forecast how emissions will change over the next five years and understand which initiatives will have the greatest effect.

Globally, SAS disposed of 3,187 tons of operational waste in 2012. This includes paper, cardboard, composting, aluminum and plastic, and any other non-construction waste material. Forty-seven percent of that waste (or more than 1,500 tons) was diverted from landfills in 2012 through our recycling and waste management program at each SAS location around the world. In 2012, SAS did not have any spills of hazardous materials, oil, fuel, waste, or chemicals, and did not have any fines for noncompliance with environmental legislation. SAS continues to invest in waste management initiatives to reduce waste and encourage recycling at all its facilities. For our non-recyclable items, we strive to purchase materials that are biodegradable in a landfill or are readily compostable. This is the first year SAS reported global operational waste figures.

Water conservation is critical to SAS because many of our facilities operate in communities that have experienced significant water shortfalls and are subject to water use restrictions. At SAS headquarters, a combination of water-saving technologies and practices coupled with increased employee awareness about water usage has resulted in significant savings. The Cary campus used 151,348 cubic meters of municipal water and approximately 44,000 cubic meters of ground water from 15 wells in 2012. For 13 other owned facilities worldwide, SAS used 51,888 cubic meters of municipal water in 2012.
