Snowflake strives to promote sustainability in our operations and products. We value the diversity of our workforce and are committed to doing what's best for our customers, partners, and the community.
Snowflake’s mission is to enable every organization to mobilize its data with Snowflake’s Data Cloud. In carrying out this mission, we take our role as stewards of our investors’ capital seriously. We aren’t just focused on our short-term financial performance, but care deeply about creating long-term growth and value and making an impact through our technology and people.
Many of our long-term building blocks are focused on environmental sustainability, an equal-opportunity and inclusive work environment for our diverse workforce, and governance. Keep reading to check out some of the things we’re doing.
We work to minimize our own environmental footprint, but for Snowflake, that’s not enough. Snowflake’s core architecture processes data more efficiently than legacy solutions, which helps reduce the carbon impact.
Embracing each other’s differences is a core value of our organization. We believe that creating an equal opportunity, performance-based work environment that welcomes diverse perspectives allows our workforce to bring new ideas to the table, challenge the status quo, and fuel innovation.
We are committed to building strong corporate governance that supports long-term value creation.
We target office locations accessible by public transportation to promote sustainable commute options. Many of our offices are LEED certified, have recycling and composting programs, energy efficient appliances, or water saving fixtures.
In offices where it is possible, we have food waste reduction programs such as donating edible food to local organizations in need. We opt for plastic-free options for the food and beverage options in our offices. Finally, we are reducing business travel by scheduling more virtual meetings and events.
Combined with our performance-based culture of individual accountability, we encourage all of our employees to support the needs and differences of our diverse population. We create monthly opportunities to celebrate and recognize our diversity while learning the impact of how diversity impacts our business. We believe this will fuel innovation, encourage authenticity, and serve our customers as we enable every organization to become data-driven.
Our goal is always to bring people together rather than apart and encourage grassroots initiatives. We also care about the community outside Snowflake, and are building relationships with nonprofits and educational institutions that invest in building career skills and opportunities for under-represented groups that one day may become part of our Snowflake team.
All employees are required to complete ethics and compliance training and certify our Global Code of Conduct Ethics, Anti-Corruption Policy, and Whistleblower Policy.
