How Sage supports the UK’s economy

In Sage’s first economic impact report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr), the real support the company provides to the UK's economy is uncovered.

Sage commissioned the research to quantify the company’s impact on the United Kingdon’s economy – its home market. As one of the few technology companies on the FTSE 100, and one of the most prominent UK employers headquartered in England’s North East region, Sage wanted to understand the depth of its influence on the UK economy, employment and supply chain.

This report looks at these criteria on a national level, but also presents Sage’s direct economic footprint broken down by three of the cities where its day-to-day activities are most prolific – Newcastle, London and Manchester.

Beyond the direct economic contributions made, this report also considers the wider economic footprint supported through indirect (supply chain), induced (wider spending) and down - stream (Sage’s services as an input for other firms' activity) impacts.

The report also helps to empower Sage to make informed decisions to enhance the value it provides to the UK’s dynamic business landscape.
