Our approach

Social impact governance

Our leaders help embed social impact into every part of Gen.

The Gen Leadership Team is highly engaged in our social impact efforts. Our Head of Corporate Responsibility and Public Policy provides regular updates to the Chief Marketing Officer and CEO on social impact activities. She also meets quarterly with our Leadership Team and cross-functional environmental, social and governance (ESG) Working Group to review our strategy, progress and program updates.

Committed to integrity, transparency and accountability at all levels.

The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors has oversight of the Company’s corporate responsibility and ESG strategy, and our full Board of Directors receives a quarterly update on our strategy and progress. This quarterly update includes performance data and program information across ethics, community investment and environment; progress made toward our social impact targets; and information on emerging ESG topics. The Nominating and Governance and Compensation and Leadership Development Committees of our Board of Directors provide oversight and are actively engaged in our Inclusion and Belonging strategy. Additionally, we hold regular meetings with functional leaders on our People & Culture, Brand & Marketing, Inclusion and Belonging, Global Health & Wellness, Product and Supply Chain teams to collaborate and coordinate efforts.

Where we focus our efforts

We aim to connect every piece of our corporate responsibility strategy to what Gen offers as a company.

We have identified five priority areas where we're positioned to make a unique and lasting impact:

Digital education and training programs for children, families and vulnerable communities
Employee volunteering and giving
Environment
Inclusion and belonging
Data privacy and protection

These areas were selected based on the outcomes of a formal topics prioritization assessment, conducted in collaboration with a third-party expert in 2023. Our approach is informed by widely accepted corporate responsibility standards and frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards; industry guidance; third-party and proprietary research; peer benchmarking; sustainability ratings; and the current regulatory landscape.

In 2025, we expanded this to consider double materiality, which looks at both the impact of corporate responsibility issues on our business and business's impact on people, society and the environment.

Stakeholder engagement

Gen identifies stakeholders as groups or individuals with an interest in or concern with our business. We also consider those our business affects in various ways. Engaging our stakeholders — employees, investors, customers, partners, communities, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, suppliers and industry groups — informs our corporate responsibility and ESG strategy and supports the assessment of significant topic areas in our Social Impact report by providing us with insight into changing external expectations, risks and opportunities.

Giving@Gen

Within our CR strategy, Giving@Gen is our community impact approach that advances Gen's social impact and business ambitions.

Our partnerships and investments support the diverse digital safety needs of families, youth, educators and vulnerable populations. Through nonprofit partnerships, product donations and employee volunteering and giving, we help create the curriculum, resources and programs to help individuals navigate their digital lives safely and with more confidence.

67% employee engagement in Giving@Gen programs.
