Governance & Impact Reporting

We have developed an impact strategy and goals that reflect the positive impact we want to have on the world while advancing and complementing our business strategy, and we are pleased to provide updates on our progress in our most recently published 2025 Integrated Annual Report on Form 10-K and on our Impact Reporting and Resources webpage.

A Message from our CEO

At Etsy, staying true to our mission of keeping commerce human and being a socially responsible company means we have to set the bar high for all of our goals, and hold ourselves accountable to our stakeholders. We realize that many are counting on us. For sellers, our marketplace serves as a source for economic opportunity and empowerment. For employees, we provide an equal opportunity workplace where those from all backgrounds can come, stay, and thrive. And, for the benefit of our planet, we want to be mindful of our carbon footprint. Over the past few years, we have brought even more focus and accountability to both our business and impact work. To that end, since 2018, we’ve shared our ESG metrics alongside our financial results in our Integrated Annual Report.

Our Impact Reporting Approach

We use our required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as our Investor Relations website and Etsy News blog, as our primary communications channels for information relating to our Impact strategy and progress. We continue to report our Impact metrics using the relevant Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) sector standards for our industry, now utilizing embedded SASB codes to accompany relevant metrics.

We expect to continue to evolve our Impact strategy and related reporting as additional government regulations may require and as our Impact work and the broader industry matures. For example, this year we are separately providing ourTask Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) and our SASB table outside of our Form 10-K in an ‘Etsy, Inc. Climate Index’ on our Impact Reporting and Resources webpage, which you can refer to for more information regarding how we manage our climate related risks. 

Subsidiary ESG Reporting Boundary

Our discussion of Impact strategy, highlights, and data in our 10-K and Climate Index includes the operations of our Etsy and Depop marketplaces except where noted. Reverb data is included in historical data, but excluded from 2025 reporting except in our environmental data where it is included until June 2, 2025, when we divested the business.

*On February 15, 2026 Etsy entered into a definitive agreement to sell Depop to eBay. Closing is currently expected by the end of the third quarter of 2026. We will not be providing an update on our ESG content to reflect the Depop divestiture.

Our Impact Strategy

Our Impact strategy focuses on areas where we believe Etsy can most effectively advance positive environmental and social outcomes while supporting our long-term business objectives. This strategy and the goals that flow from it are assessed annually to ensure they remain grounded in our brand, responsive to stakeholder interests, and directed towards societal issues shaping the future.

How We Drive Impact

Underpinning our impact strategy is a set of levers we employ to drive toward our Impact goals while advancing and complementing our business strategy.

Business Integration: Responsibility and accountability for implementing our Impact strategy is shared across our company. Our Impact goals and progress are overseen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors.

Marketplace Integration: We integrate our Impact ambitions into the design and operation of our marketplace. By helping sellers and buyers better understand their individual and collective impact, we aim to support more informed decisions and foster more sustainable practices. We also remain mindful of using marketing data and marketing imagery in responsible and ethical ways.

Public Policy: We engage with policymakers to advance our commitments to economic empowerment for creative entrepreneurs, equitable access to the digital economy, and ecological sustainability.

Values-Aligned Investment: We direct resources toward initiatives that strengthen the communities we are part of. For example, our $30 million Impact Investment Fund makes investments in or provides loans to initiatives that are aligned with our Impact strategy. In 2025, Etsy made approximately $3.4 million in philanthropic donations to community-based organizations doing work that supports our Impact goals.
