PayPal’s CS&I strategy

Our CS&I strategy is aligned with our focus to drive long-term business value and growth. We approach and manage our key non-financial risks and opportunities across four focus areas – Employees & Culture, Social Impact, Responsible Business Practices and Environmental Sustainability. Reflective of our business, mission, values, and leadership principles, this integrated approach is designed to support enterprise priorities to drive and protect brand value, manage risk effectively, demonstrate competitive differentiation, position PayPal as an employer of choice, and support future opportunities for innovation and growth.

See our Impact webpage for more information.

CS&I governance

PayPal recognizes the importance of operating our business in a responsible and sustainable manner in support of our long-term strategic objectives. We believe that effective prioritization and management of non-financial risks and opportunities are important to furthering the long-term interests of our business and help enable us to create value for our stockholders, customers, employees, communities, and other stakeholders. Accordingly, we strive to maintain the highest standards of governance in these areas and provide regular, non-financial reporting on our progress and activities.

Our overall CS&I governance framework is designed to provide sound company oversight of CS&I matters, drive Board and management accountability, and demonstrate PayPal’s commitment to transparency.

Reporting

As part of our commitment to transparency, we strive for alignment with those non-financial reporting frameworks that are most applicable to our business and most important to our stakeholders. Our Global Impact Report provides specific reporting of our CS&I programs, policies and metrics mapped to the following voluntary reporting frameworks and initiatives:

  • The Global Reporting Initiative standards
  • SASB standards
  • The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact
  • The U.N. Sustainable Development Goals

We also publish separate climate-related disclosures including a CDP climate response. See our Reporting and other resources webpage for more information, and Annual reports webpage for historical reports.
