Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expect. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: (1) macroeconomic, geopolitical, and other events outside of our control; (2) the level of demand for our services or products sold in our marketplaces; (3) the importance to our success of the trustworthiness of our marketplaces and our ability to attract and retain active and engaged communities of buyers and sellers; (4) any real or perceived inaccuracies in our operational metrics; (5) if we or our third-party providers are unable to protect against technology vulnerabilities, service interruptions, security breaches, or other cyber incidents; (6) our dependence on continued and unimpeded access to third-party services, platforms, and infrastructure; (7) operational and compliance risks related to our payments systems; (8) the global scope of our business; (9) our ability to recruit and retain employees; (10) our ability to compete effectively; (11) our ability to enhance our current offerings and develop new offerings to respond to the changing needs of sellers and buyers; (12) risks related to our environmental, social, and governance activities and disclosures; (13) barriers to international trade and our efforts to grow our markets globally; (14) acquisitions, dispositions, or strategic partnerships that may prove unsuccessful or divert management attention; (15) our ability to deal effectively with fraud or other illegal activity; and (16) litigation and evolving global legal and regulatory requirements, including privacy and data protection laws, tax laws, product liability laws, laws regulating speech and platform moderation, antitrust laws, and intellectual property and counterfeiting regulations.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time.

In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Forward-looking statements represent our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date hereof. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Governance

Back to Corporate Site

Through our governance approach, we aim to cultivate a culture of ethics and accountability.

At Etsy, we believe that how we govern ourselves is a reflection of who we are and the way in which we create value for stakeholders stems from the values we hold as a company.

Good governance gives us a framework for responsibility, accountability and trustworthiness. It helps us align our day-to-day decisions with the world we want to see. And most importantly, it guides our journey towards building a future-fit company in line with our mission to Keep Commerce Human.

Thoughtful Corporate Governance

Our corporate governance practices include an independent Board Chair, a fully independent Board of Directors (except for our Chief Executive Officer), independent Committee members, sophisticated and fully engaged directors with different areas of relative expertise and additional dimensions of diversity, and a balanced distribution of director tenure. For a more complete description of our corporate governance practices, please refer to our most recent proxy statement.

In alignment with our mission to “Keep Commerce Human” we are committed to upholding and promoting human rights across our marketplaces and throughout our value chain.

And while the connections we facilitate are uniquely human, they are rendered ever more seamless by the power of technology and artificial intelligence (AI). We have six values that guide us in the responsible use of AI across our marketplaces, in our operations, and through our partnerships: Respect, Fairness, Reliability, Transparency, Privacy, and Security.

Integrated ESG Reporting

We strive to continue to innovate and evolve our ESG disclosures to hold ourselves accountable and transparently engage with all of our stakeholders. Since 2018, we’ve shared our ESG metrics alongside our financial results in our Integrated Annual Report. This practice is intended to ensure that we’re transparent about and accountable for progress against our environmental and social commitments.

Risk Oversight & Management

One of the key functions of our Board of Directors is to provide informed oversight of our risk management processes. While management is responsible for day-to-day management of the material risks we face, our Board of Directors is responsible for risk oversight. Etsy has a Risk Steering Committee, which is comprised of a cross-functional management team that meets regularly to review and discuss the significant risks facing Etsy. Periodic reports on material risk are provided to the Risk Oversight Committee, with an annual update to the full Board of Directors. The Risk Steering Committee also periodically considers areas of new or evolving risks and works to understand risk analyses and establish appropriate mitigation plans. For more information on risk oversight generally, please see “Board Oversight of Risk” in Etsy’s Proxy Statement. For information on how we manage our climate related risks, please refer to our complete TCFD response in our 2024 Annual Report.
