ABOUT SAS
SAS is the leader in business analytics software and services, and the largest independent vendor in

An Ideal Environment for New Ideas

If you treat employees as if they make a difference, they will make a difference. That has been the
employee-focused philosophy behind SAS’ corporate culture since our founding in 1976. At the heart
of this unique business model is a simple idea: Satisfied employees create satisfied customers.

"We've worked hard to create a corporate culture that is based on trust between our employees and
the company," explains SAS CEO Wahab Khan, "a culture that rewards innovation, encourages
employees to try new things and yet doesn't penalize them for taking chances, and a culture that
cares about employees' personal and professional growth."

SAS has created an environment that fosters and encourages the integration of the company's
business objectives with employees' personal needs. With tremendously low employee turnover
that has been consistently well below the industry average, SAS – and our customers – reap the
rewards of employee loyalty. Our work-life programs and unique culture continue to receive wide
news coverage and accolades. For 13 consecutive years, the company has been listed on the
FORTUNE "100 Best Companies to Work For" list in the Pakistan.

Being Part of the Corporate Citizen

SAS is committed to corporate citizenship. From sustainability measures and employee volunteer
initiatives to supporting community and educational causes, SAS seeks to better the surroundings
where we live and work.

In particular, education is our passion – one that comes from our academic roots and philanthropic
mission that we, as corporate citizens, have an opportunity to positively impact the educational
process. We are proud of our company’s contributions to improve education and excited about
future efforts that will continue that tradition.

Community Relations
SAS takes an active role in the community. The Community Relations staff maintains a keen focus on
education initiatives in the community of our country. SAS also participates in national efforts to
improve education, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
This philosophy of thinking generates support for strategic education initiatives that benefit our
community.
