The day has come!    While December 6 and December 24 might be exiting milestones for kids, we have added Dec 19 for us this year as all lucky winners of the 2024 Sockenkalender are unpacking their SAP Fioneer socks today.     While we think that our socks are great, the actual cause is more important: all donations go to Bündnis Ökonomische Bildung Deutschland (BÖB), promoting financial education programs in schools. https://lnkd.in/eApuBzvu

The world of banking is evolving, and consumers now expect more than just transactions. They want guidance from their bank on how to become more financially stable. In order to achieve that, banks need to invest in technology that enables things like hyper-personalized, 24/7 customer service, real-time incentives and automated financial management. Behavioral banking can help with all of this. We've laid out five key use cases for behavioral banking that help banks increase customer loyalty and income.

Our colleagues Stefan Malchow and Benjamin Biset recently attended the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Global Roundtable 2024. It was an inspiring gathering of leaders, all of whom are helping drive sustainable finance forward. Here are their key takeaways and reflections on the event: 1️⃣ Collaboration is crucial for progress. Addressing sustainability challenges requires deep collaboration across sectors. Speakers emphasized the importance of partnerships between private and public sectors, NGOs, academics and others to develop innovative, impactful solutions. As we continue to evolve solutions, it's important to create space for experimentation and iteration—progress takes time, and the perfect solution doesn’t always come at first launch. 2️⃣ Acknowledging biodiversity into financial decision-making. A key theme was the need to incorporate biodiversity into financial frameworks, as well as the need to close the financing gap. Speakers also advocated for considering nature as well as climate in decision making exercises. Nature-related risks, like biodiversity loss, are growing, and there is a growing call for financial decision-makers to integrate these into strategies. 3️⃣ The 1.5°C target is achievable—if we act now. 2024 has been the hottest year on record, with global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial period levels for the first time. This is the first year we have crossed this threshold, but it's not too late to stay on the 1.5°C road if we take immediate bold actions. Financial institutions have a critical role to play in tracking emissions, adhering to Net Zero pathways, and staying committed to climate goals. Events like these remind us that the journey to sustainability is complicated, yes. But it is also filled with opportunities—and we empower our customers to seize them with best-in-class ESG solutions.

Our Banking and Innovation team had an incredible experience at the Nationwide Building Society Connect & Collaborate event last week!   The event provided a fantastic platform to make new connections and dive into meaningful discussions.   A special shoutout to our SAP Fioneer colleagues Jaime King, Dr. Christian Geist, Wiebke R., and Nick Illingworth, who delivered thought-provoking sessions on a variety of topics like our co-innovation initiatives with Nationwide, as well as two of the most pressing topics in the industry today—behavioral banking and AI in banking.   We’re grateful to everyone who visited our booth and participated in our talks. Engaging with such enthusiastic and forward-thinking individuals was truly inspiring!   And it looks like our power banks were a big hit—they disappeared faster than you can say "recharge"! 🔋
