“At Etsy, we value driving impact that builds long term benefits for communities. My work is meaningful to me because I strive to help communities own their legacies, thriving on their artistry and cultural wisdom. I believe that for too long, makers, especially those from historically economically disenfranchised communities, have had their work and its impact erased or they haven't been compensated fairly. My drive is to be a force to help change this, and I aim to do that through my work.”

Etsy's Mission & Values Etsy NewsDEI & Environmental Goals
Etsy's mission and business strategies are inextricably linked. In 2021, we sourced 100% of our electricity from renewable energy, ran a carbon neutral business, and continued progress toward our target of Net Zero emissions by 2040. We've set ambitious DEI goals like doubling the percentage of US employees at Etsy who identify as Black, Latinx or Native American by 2023 and ensuring 50%+ of Etsy's small and medium-sized enterprise suppliers are owned by underrepresented communities by 2022.

Not only do we support sellers with a range of services and tools that help creative entrepreneurs start, manage and scale their businesses, but we invest in initiatives like our Uplift Fund which fosters equal opportunities for communities lacking access to opportunities like training and capital. In 2021, we invested over $2.9M in charitable gifts including to AAPI-led organizations, COVID-19 relief, and to organizations driving access to opportunity in STEM education and the tech industry.
