Industry Leader Extends Impact Priorities
Worldwide
Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), the data platform leader for
security and observability, today released its second annual Global
Impact Report. The report details the company’s progress across
four areas that matter most to Splunk and its stakeholders – social
impact, ethical and inclusive growth, data responsibility and
environmental sustainability.
“We believe that purpose-led impact work drives business growth
and success benefiting our customers, stockholders and
communities,” said Scott Morgan, SVP, Chief Legal Officer, Global
Affairs for Splunk. “We are proud of our progress in these areas
and inspired by our customers and others, who count on us to help
create resiliency in their digital operations and interactions.
Splunk is committed to embedding important impact initiatives into
our decision making and operations to create a more successful
business and better world through bridging the data divide.”
The 2022 Global Impact Report underscores Splunk’s dedication to
building and maturing its programs and initiatives, powered by and
in service to the vision, passion and expectations of its
customers, stockholders, employees and other stakeholders. Below
are top highlights across the company’s four-pillar Global Impact
Strategy.
Social Impact:
In FY22, Splunk launched the Splunk Strategic Giving program,
providing over $1 million in unrestricted grants to nonprofit
partners aligned with its mission to bridge the data divide– the
division between those who have access to data and those who do
not. One such recipient is TechVets, a U.K. nonprofit and programme
in the Forces Employment Charity that helps veterans navigate the
transition out of the military and into new civilian careers in
technology. Splunk’s funding and free technical training through
its workforce development program enables TechVets to provide
no-cost access to Splunk courses and certifications.
Splunk also encourages its employees to give. In FY22, Splunk
employees (with matching funds from Splunk) donated over $3.5
million to support over 3,000 nonprofit organizations. In addition,
Splunk expanded its matching gifts program to a year-round program,
and promoted virtual, skills-based volunteer opportunities.
Overall, Splunkers’ volunteer hours and personal donations grew
significantly in FY22 – by 110% and 117%, respectively – over
FY21.
Ethical and Inclusive Growth:
In FY22, Splunk published its third Diversity Annual Report,
reflecting its ongoing commitment to advancing transparent progress
on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), highlighting positive
trends and areas where more effort is required. The company also
rolled out its People Leader Diversity Learning Strategy, which
engaged Splunk’s senior management team in key issues, topics and
tools for inclusive leadership and managing a diverse
workforce.
Splunk is also working to embed environmental, social and
governance (ESG) principles into its procurement activities and
build a more diverse supply chain. In FY22, Splunk partnered with
National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), National Minority
Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), Women’s Business Enterprise
National Council (WBENC) and additional organizations to help
identify and engage with diverse suppliers.
Data Responsibility:
In FY22, the company established the Cybersecurity & Data
Responsibility Committee of its Board of Directors. Splunk also
launched a Customer Trust portal at Splunk Protects, enabling
customers and suppliers to audit Splunk’s policies and practices by
offering credentialed users access to Splunk’s global privacy,
security and compliance programs; certifications and compliance
reports (e.g., SOC 2 Type II, ISO, HIPAA and PCI attestations); and
standard security questionnaires and white papers. In addition,
Splunk engaged in an external working group to identify and assess
potential human rights vulnerabilities in the business-to-business
(B2B) Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) sector.
Environmental Sustainability:
The Environmental Sustainability pillar of Splunk’s Global
Impact Strategy aims to identify, measure and reduce the
environmental impacts of company operations by focusing on climate
change, resource efficiency and environmentally-preferred
purchasing.
In FY22, Splunk announced its intent to achieve net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as well as a commitment to set a
suite of shorter-term science-based targets. Splunk’s Global Impact
Report provides a progress update of the company’s Global Climate
Resilience and Innovation strategy work to develop a net zero
transition roadmap and set a suite of science-based emissions
reduction targets.
