Our 2025 Social Impact Report is Available Now
Today, we released our 2025 Social Impact Report, sharing all of the ways we’re powering Digital Freedom for our business, our people and our world.
Over the past year, our leaders, teams and partners have come together to deliver real results for communities across the globe. Our education and training programs, as well as our product donation efforts, have meaningfully expanded access to digital tools. And our employees continue to embody the culture of giving that lies at the heart of everything we do.
We have refined our report content this year in response to the evolving legal and regulatory environment in the U.S. with respect to sustainability disclosure best practices. Many of our key stakeholders, including our employees, customers, investors and regulators around the world, consider information on our sustainability and social impact programs useful and important to their decision-making processes. This annual public reporting effort is a critical tool to foster trust with these stakeholders and aligns with our core company values.
As our industry and our society evolve, our social impact programs continue to add value to our organization in new and unexpected ways. To illustrate this, we’re excited to share just a few highlights from our social impact programs, which you can read more about in our report.
Powering Digital Freedom
We empower nearly 500 million users with our award-winning technology solutions that help protect their personal information, finances and more so they can live their digital lives confidently.
In addition to blocking more than 14.5 billion attacks in the last year and devoting 8% of our revenue to research and development, we reached 8,780 nonprofits with free or significantly discounted products, extending cutting-edge protections to organizations serving critical community functions around the world.
We also demonstrated dedication to strong governance structures and ethical leadership, which foster accountability, transparency and long-term sustainability across our operations. 80% of our Board of Directors are independent, and 100% of active employees completed our annual Code of Conduct training, and we expanded our approach to and tools for responsible artificial intelligence.
Powering passion and purpose
Everything at Gen starts with our people. We come to work every day with a sense of shared passion and purpose that encourages collaboration, enables growth and drives outcomes.
This year, we expanded Learn@Gen, our Learning and Development strategy, which combines regular coaching and performance feedback with flexible, self-guided eLearning opportunities. We also launched Leading@Gen, a new program providing regular on-site learning experiences for our People Leaders.
Efforts like these continue to result in high engagement. More than 97%1 of team members participated in our global Engage surveys, conducted periodically throughout the year, and they gave the company a +28 eNPS score for how likely they are to recommend Gen as a place of work for family and friends.
Powering protection at scale
As a leader in consumer Cyber Safety and Trust-Based Solutions, we equip individuals, families and vulnerable communities with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate the digital world securely and responsibly.
In partnership with leading nonprofits like Discovery Education, National PTA and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, we reached more than 5.4 million children, young people, teachers, parents and family members with our digital education and training efforts in 2025. And nearly 67% of our global employee population participated in our volunteering and giving programs, our highest participation rate on record.
Protecting our world also means helping protect the planet. We’ve successfully reduced our Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 12% in the last year alone, and we completed more than 2,000 projects as part of our Sustainable Home Improvement Program for employees.
We believe technology and the internet, when used safely, are some of our world’s most powerful tools for progress. To learn more about how we turn this belief into action, we invite you to read more in our 2025 Social Impact Report.
