CEO Message At NetApp, we are inspired by the belief that business success goes beyond profits and our share price to include our impact on society and the environment. For the benefit of our employees, customers, partners, shareholders, and neighbors, we are committed to effective environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management. This commitment requires alignment across all levels of the organization, so we aim to: – Maintain strong governance structures to ensure we conduct business in alignment with the highest standards; – Prioritize environmental sustainability as a duty we owe to society today and to future generations; – Hold our suppliers and business partners to the highest ethical, social, and environmental standards; – Stay committed to diversity, inclusion, and belonging and maintaining our strong global reputation; and – Extend our culture of caring and service to communities around the globe. George Kurian Chief Executive Officer In our second annual ESG report, we are proud to share our progress across these five objectives. We believe our commitment to bolstering our ESG practices and performance will help us improve an already strong corporate culture. This culture was tested — and proven — during the converging crises of 2020: a global pandemic and a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice.
