Sustainability Governance
GoDaddy remains committed to embedding sustainability across our business and operations and within our strategy. Our approach focuses on creating long-term value for our customers, employees, shareholders, and communities while minimizing our environmental footprint. The roles and responsibilities outlined in our governance model span across the company and up to our Board of Directors (Board), enabling clear accountability, informed decision-making, and consistent progress tracking.
Board & Executive-Level Oversight
Sustainability oversight is entrusted to our Board and its committees. Our committees aim to ensure GoDaddy addresses its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impacts while continuously monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of our sustainability initiatives. The Board works closely with management to integrate sustainability considerations into our long-term strategy, taking into account the related risks and opportunities.
