Grounded in Kindness

Snap Inc. is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. We contribute to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

Our fourth annual CitizenSnap Report not only captures Snap’s progress toward our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, but also our resolve to continuously improve. As we continue advancing our objectives, we also recognize that there will always be new and greater opportunities for Snap to drive a positive impact.

This work is never finished.
