Our Approach to Impact Reporting
We apply similar focus, discipline, and accountability to our environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) reporting metrics as we do our financial metrics, and we believe that together they make us stronger and more resilient. We expect to continue to 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 have various approaches for determining what information we disclose in our ESG reporting, including feedback we receive from the financial community and other stakeholders. In addition, we continue to report our ESG metrics using the relevant Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) sector standards for our industry and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) frameworks.
Etsy uses ‘fully integrated’ reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10K to report on our ESG metrics. We do not publish a separate Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
Our “House of Brands” and ESG Reporting Boundary
We expect to continue to evolve our Impact strategy and ESG reporting in the future as we grow and further incorporate our recently acquired marketplaces into our Impact strategy and as our Impact work continues to mature. Our discussion of Impact strategy and highlights and ESG data includes the operations of our Etsy.com, Reverb, and Depop marketplaces but does not include the operations of Elo7, which was acquired in 2021, except where designated in the below chart. It is our intention to further integrate our Elo7 marketplace in our ESG reporting in the future. Please see page 21 in our 2022 10K for detailed information about disclosures made for our House of Brands.
