Fighting climate change
Proofpoint operates in approximately 20 countries, and as a global corporate citizen, we are committed to environmental sustainability, positive social impact, and supporting people and communities around the world.
Some examples of how Proofpoint supports environmental sustainability are:
Usage of highly efficient virtualized servers for our global IT infrastructure, supplemented by a diverse mix of leading cloud services, which are delivered out of energy efficient data centers in the countries that we deliver our services from.
Our new headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA meets LEED Gold certified standards for the core, shell and interior;
Requiring LED lighting as standard for all new real estate projects, and launching a project to replace the majority of our fluorescent lights with LED lighting by mid-2021 globally
Implementing recycling programs in every Proofpoint office globally; and
Adoption of teleconferencing solutions to reduce unnecessary air travel.
Proofpoint is committed to the communities it operates in.Tackling economic inequality
We believe that diversity, inclusion, and opportunity is a journey and we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive company and society for our employees, customers, partners, and shareholders. In order to create a more diverse and inclusive work environment, we provide education, training and tools so that all employees can become aware of bias, how it exists and how to mitigate it. As we continue to shape our work environment and world-class organization to be more inclusive and inviting, we are actively striving to build an extensive pipeline of talent through various programs. Our internal programs enable and empower our hiring managers to identify alternative and emerging talent pools and to create an inclusive candidate experience.Equal opportunity
Our Chief Human Resource Officer (“CHRO”), who reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), leads the development and implementation of the Company’s human capital strategy, including the attraction, acquisition, development and engagement of talent; however, it is the responsibility of all of Proofpoint, its management and its employees, to execute and build a collaborative and engaging workplace where all employees have an opportunity to do their best work and where we act as a team to solve our customers’ most challenging security issues.
Our CHRO, with our CEO and executive management team, are responsible for developing the Company’s diversity and inclusion vision and roadmap and integrating these into the Company’s culture and operations. The roadmap includes framing the Company's global policies and programs for leadership and talent development, compensation, benefits, staffing and workforce planning, human resources systems, education and organization development, workplace strategies, and global sourcing and indirect procurement, and ensuring effective and efficient internal company operations.Wellbeing
The physical health, financial well-being, life balance and mental health of our employees is vital to the Company’s success. Throughout the year, we encourage healthy behaviors through regular communications, educational sessions, voluntary progress tracking, wellness challenges, and other incentives. Creating a culture where all colleagues feel supported and valued is paramount to our corporate mission.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to unique challenges and through it all, the health, safety and the general well-being of our employees has remained our primary objective.
