Snowflake for Good

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

One of Snowflake’s company values is to “Make each other the best.” We give back to our communities in meaningful ways and inspire others to do the same. From Snowflake’s early days, we have been involved in projects that make a difference. With a handful of employees or the entire company, we take time out to assist with humanitarian, environmental, educational, and many other efforts that deliver impact, locally and globally. Here are some of the efforts Snowflake and its valued employees engage in to help others.

SNOWFLAKES IN THE COMMUNITY

Our employees engage in many local programs to help benefit humanity and the environment. At our offices in Silicon Valley, across the United States, and throughout Europe and Asia Pacific, we’re committed to helping the communities we call home.
