Responsible governance is foundational to driving meaningful progress. It’s how we build trust, stay accountable, and ensure that our actions match our values. Our governance practices are rooted in transparency, integrity, and a human-centered approach to leadership, reflecting our commitment to being kind not just in how we design our products, but in how we operate as a business.
Every year, we review the charter of each of our Board committees to make updates in line with corporate governance best practices and Directors’ feedback. We also regularly survey our directors for their insights on the Board’s composition and operations, incorporating their feedback to continuously enhance our effectiveness. Additionally, relevant ESG updates are integrated into both committee and full Board meetings
At Snap, we take a thoughtful, multi-layered approach to how we govern the data we use internally and share externally. We’re committed to ensuring that all public-facing information — including financials, user metrics, advertising performance, and the data in our Transparency Report and this Citizen Snap Report — is accurate, complete, and responsibly presented. All public data statements follow a rigorous review process with robust checks and controls to uphold the highest standards of integrity.
From training to governance, our Integrity and Compliance (I&C) team provides the structures, policies, and tools that help Snap and its partners act ethically, manage risk effectively, and build trust across markets. As a global company, we use our Code of Conduct and centralized compliance programs to align teams across cultures, regions, and business areas — making compliance a shared language and a way of life.
Snap is committed to maintaining a supply chain that reflects our values of responsibility, transparency, and care for people and the planet. Since launching our first AR glasses product in 2016, we have worked to uphold social and environmental responsibility across all supplier relationships — an effort that’s even more important as we expand Specs availability and prepare for additional regulatory expectations. Our approach combines global compliance, engagement with suppliers, and readiness for emerging risks and frameworks. In 2024, we enhanced internal coordination, established additional oversight roles, and took further steps to assess risk and elevate ethical sourcing.
LOOKING AHEAD
We plan to scale our global compliance framework through expansion of the Compliance Champions program, enhanced training, and more frequent cross-functional risk assessments. We are actively preparing for upcoming regulations — including the EU AI Act, California’s climate disclosure rules, and the UK’s new anti-fraud laws — while grounding our approach in kindness, integrity, and proactive engagement. In 2026, we aim to roll out ESG supplier surveys and increase supplier collaboration to strengthen ethical sourcing, human rights protections, and climate-related transparency across our supply chain.
