As HubSpot’s Culture Code says, to grow better means to grow sustainably over the long term. Over the past 15 years, we’ve committed to this vision by creating value for our customers and stakeholders, taking an active role in fighting racial injustice, working hard to protect customers’ data and privacy, and doing what we can to reduce our impact on the environment. Today, we’re proud to release our 2021 Sustainability Report, highlighting our efforts, milestones, and aspirations toward building a company that is sustainable.
Earlier this year, our internal ESG Committee conducted a materiality assessment to identify the key focus areas within Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) important to our business, stakeholders, and growth. Where we believe HubSpot can have the most meaningful impact is within diversity, inclusion, and belonging; privacy and data protection; and energy and emissions. The report reflects the work we’ve made in these areas since HubSpot was founded.
Of the report launch, Whitney Sorenson, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Sponsor of HubSpot’s ESG Committee said, “At HubSpot, we want to build a company future generations will be proud of. That's why it's more important than ever that we're investing in our employees, customers, communities, and environment long-term. Our 2021 Sustainability Report shares transparency into our progress on that journey to date and what's to come. We're proud of our sustainability work, but we also recognize that we're just getting started. Organizations have a responsibility to leave the world better than they found it, and we're committed to making a lasting impact."
Highlights from our 2021 Sustainability Report include:
Building an Inclusive and Diverse Culture:
Empowering Vibrant Communities:
Practicing Good Governance:
Investing in Climate Action:
The programs and initiatives highlighted in our report are not just a reflection of our sustainability efforts; they are integrated in our culture and operations. With more than 4,980 employees and 121,000 customers globally, we recognize we have an immense opportunity to make an impact and are committed to a more sustainable HubSpot because it’s the right thing to do for our employees, customers, partners and shareholders. We hope our 2021 Sustainability Report gives you a glimpse into how we’re getting started. Understanding this is an iterative process, we look forward to publishing an annual report in early 2022 highlighting our targets and long-term sustainability commitments.
