Making the World a Better Place: Impinj 2023 Corporate Citizenship
Our annual corporate citizenship statement outlines our commitments to people and culture, environment, and governance as we endeavor to positively impact our world.
Impinj wants to make the world a better place through our products and by how we operate as an organization. We recently released our 2023 Corporate Citizenship statement on investor.impinj.com, outlining our commitments to people and culture, the environment, and governance. The annual statement shares our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, human resources policies, waste-reduction programs, code of business conduct, and more.
“Impinj’s mission is to connect every thing,” Impinj co-founder and CEO Chris Diorio said in the statement’s opening message. “We have a massive opportunity. With that opportunity comes a responsibility to build a sustainable, global company that creates a positive impact on our world. None of this is possible without the Impinj employees who bring their efforts and ideas forward while living the values, behaviors, spirit, and leadership outlined in our principles. I’m committed to listening to each voice as we build our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) roadmap for the future.”
