Our Values
Our values are integral to everything we do.
We believe that business interests and social and environmental responsibility are interwoven and
aligned and that the power of business should be used to strengthen communities and empower people. To demonstrate our commitment, we monitor our
efforts to minimize the harm and maximize the benefit that we have on people and the planet and then publish an annual Progress Report to publicly report
our results. B Lab, an independent nonprofit organization, has certified us as a B Corporation for our adherence to certain social and environmental standards.
In addition, Fortune has recognized us as a great place to work in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
We want to build a company that lasts, and we plan to measure our success in years and decades. Etsy sellers in
particular depend on us and on our platform to grow their businesses, so we will strive to make decisions that are best for the long-term health of our
ecosystem. Our ecosystem consists of Etsy and the people and communities around the world who benefit from our platform.
Craftsmanship is the marriage of skill and passion. We believe every job at our company should demonstrate our
commitment to craft. We are an engineering-driven company, and we think of our code as craft: we are makers of the products and services that members of
our community use, and we approach the work we do with the same care and inspiration as do Etsy sellers.
Our mission includes fostering a world in which personal fulfillment is a key element of success. We
believe that this way of working is connected and joyful. We strive to do excellent work and bring a sense of humor and playfulness to it.
We have the courage and the will to do business in ways that are unconventional and impactful. We strive to stay genuine,
maintaining integrity, humility and sincerity in everything we do. When we feel that we are not being true to our values or our mission, we are not afraid to
stop and change course.
Our Community
Our community includes Etsy sellers, Etsy buyers, wholesale partners, manufacturers and Etsy employees.
Etsy sellers join our community to be part of a vibrant global-local marketplace that allows them to express their creativity and turn their passion into a
business while connecting to thoughtful consumers locally and around the world. As of December 31, 2015, there were 1.6 million active sellers on our
platform and more than 13% of active sellers as of that date had been selling on Etsy for more than four years.
