August 14 2023 - 8:00AM
Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the company that is
revolutionizing how the world works together, released its 2022
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) report, detailing the
actions it took in 2022 to ensure a more sustainable future.
Fiverr’s efforts around sustainability are an extension of the
company’s core values and its culture of empowerment. Additionally,
the company has aligned itself with four of the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals towards which its actions and
initiatives can have the greatest impact: Quality Education; Gender
Equality; Decent Work and Economic Growth; and Reduced
Inequalities.
“Sustainability at Fiverr extends far beyond climate practices,”
said Micha Kaufman, founder and CEO of Fiverr. “We are committed to
maintaining a fair and safe marketplace environment, promoting
diversity and inclusion across our community and employees,
ensuring our employees’ professional development and welfare, and
fostering sound corporate governance across our Board of Directors
and management structures.”
Highlights from the report include:
Creating Fair Economic and Social Opportunities:
- Fiverr’s Support for Ukraine extended beyond just employees and
our freelancer community, but to all the people of Ukraine with
multiple initiatives, including financial donations, a special
Fiverr store allocated specifically to Ukrainian freelancers and
early payouts for these sellers.
- We established the Freelancer Wellness Fund together with the
Freelancers Union and gave out 120 microgrants, which served as
cash assistance towards a broad umbrella of wellness-related
expenses.
- As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we joined
the Valuable 500 - a global business collective of 500 companies
innovating together for disability inclusion, as well as continued
to promote our Future Collective for Black-Owned Businesses which
doubled its participant size in 2022. Other notable ongoing D&I
programs include Fiverr Empower, Fiverr for All, and several
Kickstarter Programs for small businesses in partnerships with
non-profit organizations (WCEC, Launch It, Black CHEFS
Collective).
- We offered learning and development opportunities including
Fiverr’s Sellers Mentorship Program, Community Leadership Program,
and Fiverr Learn, in addition to hosting 26 events of roundtables
and webinars for our sellers.

organizations to forge meaningful connections between Fiverr and
the communities in which it operates.
Marketplace Integrity and Ethics:
- We updated our Minors policy to require that all users using
the platform are at least 18 years of age.
- We conducted our first Cyber
Training Week to further enhance our team's understanding of cyber
security and safety topics related to our Marketplace.
Empowering Our People:
- We administered the 2022 employee engagement survey. Survey
results showed an 86% favorable rating from our workforce on topics
ranging from alignment with leadership to enablement and
professional development.
- We continue to promote gender diversity with 51% of our Global
team and 60% of our senior management identifying as females.
- We remain committed to enhancing
workforce diversity as 33% of our U.S. employees identified as
diverse in 2022, up from 29% the previous year.
Climate Change:
- Our overall emissions for 2022 decreased by 6% compared to
2021.
- In 2022, we received an award from Lufthansa, naming us a
“Climate Supporter.” We worked with Lufthansa and its subsidiaries
to offset 137kg of CO2 using sustainable aviation fuel.
