Our CS&I strategy

Powering the next era of payments means creating seamless, secure experiences for consumers and merchants globally and giving everyone the confidence to participate fully in the digital economy. Our CS&I strategy reflects that commitment across four priorities that matter deeply to us: employees and culture, social impact, responsible business practices, and environmental sustainability. This approach supports our business by strengthening our brand, building a better workplace, and opening doors for future growth and innovation.

2025 Corporate Sustainability & Impact Highlights

1 Pay equity analysis based on total compensation which is defined as base salary, annual bonus, and annual equity awards. 

2 Includes donations, matching gifts, grants, and in-kind donations.

3 Excludes exempt employees that are on leave as of the compliance training deadline.

4 Percentage reduction in current year combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based GHG emissions relative to 2019 combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based GHG emissions. 

5 Measurement for this target will begin on January 1, 2026, and will be conducted annually on a calendar year basis. We will measure our impact using reporting from our strategic partners and recipients of relevant corporate giving. Individuals or small businesses may be counted more than once if they participate in a program in multiple years.

6 Beginning in 2025, we updated the methodology for this metric to reflect our updated supplier climate target, which more directly focuses on supply chain climate risks relevant to the business. As part of this update, the supplier minimum climate criteria were refined to emphasize supplier disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions and the establishment of emissions reduction targets. See 2025 Global Impact Report for more information.
