GoDaddy 2021 Sustainability Report

We strive to ensure all our folks feel supported, connected and heard. Through GoDaddy Voice, our annual engagement survey, we ask employees for feedback to understand what is and isn’t working and to identify opportunities for improvement – 90% of employees responded in 2021.

94% believe colleagues treat each other with respect.

93% say they have the flexibility to manage other aspects of life while working from home.

GoDaddy employees come from varied backgrounds and live all over the world. One way we foster our diverse community, even when we’re physically separated, is through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which help bridge the gaps and are critical to fostering our culture of empowering inclusivity and belonging.

We have 11 employee-led ERGs spanning different racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities. Importantly, ERG membership is open to all employees, united around a common mission, whether they identify as part of the group or support it as an ally.

We operate with the future in mind

We are privileged to have a global reach. With that reach comes global responsibility.

We’re committed to an environmentally sustainable future, and we hold ourselves to a high standard of stewardship in areas where we have the greatest impact and influence.

We push ourselves to operate efficient spaces, use resources responsibly and reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Read our full Climate Position Statement here.

We earn the trust of our stakeholders by upholding high standards

At GoDaddy, we are committed to upholding the highest level of professional and ethical standards. We take seriously our obligation to earn and maintain the trust of our stakeholders and to promote a culture of honesty, integrity and trust among ourselves, our customers and our business partners.

This starts with the tone at the top set by our Board of Directors. And based on the results of our 2021 GoDaddy Voice Survey, 92% of employees believe GoDaddy’s leaders maintain high ethical and compliance standards.

We believe that making your own way online shouldn’t come at the cost of privacy or security

As an internet company, data protection, security and privacy are at our core of everything we do. We work tirelessly to provide continuous privacy and to develop security improvements that benefit our customers.

We take proactive measures to be transparent with users, protect their data and keep up with an evolving regulatory landscape. In 2021, we achieved ISO:27001:2013 certification for our domains registry platform and DNS services.

We’re committed to generating value and cultivating trust

Robust corporate governance practices are essential to executing our strategy, creating long-term value, and maintaining the trust of our stakeholders. Our framework lays the foundation for effective oversight and management accountability while enabling us to remain competitive.

In 2021, our Board assigned new oversight responsibilities of sustainability and environment, social and governance (ESG) developments and disclosures to our Nominating and Governance Committee.

In addition, they memorialized oversight responsibilities over human capital management to our Compensation and Human Capital Committee.
