A summary of Cadence’s environmental, social and governance strategy, programs and activities
Innovation
Our Intelligent System Design strategy guides everything we do, influencing our product and service offerings, as well as partnerships with other industry leaders. Our products and services enable our customers to design innovative and differentiated electronic products. We believe that giving our customers a systems-level perspective throughout the design cycle provides faster and better design, shorter verification cycles, seamless integration of software and hardware, and new product leadership. We promote innovation at every level within Cadence.
Workforce: Our High-performance
Culture outlines the values and behaviors that will enable our employees to succeed at Cadence. We embed these values and behaviors throughout our business and use them to drive our business objectives. These values also influence our practices for hiring, goal setting, development, promotion, and recognition. The Great Place to Work Institute recognizes Cadence as an exceptional employer in many regions around the world. Our diverse team of passionate, dedicated, and talented employees go above and beyond for our customers, our communities, and each other.
Environmental Sustainability
We regularly evaluate new ways to lessen the environmental impact of our facilities and business operations. Cadence monitors its performance on energy, water, waste, and emissions to conserve resources and reduce costs. Our culture of giving back inspires employees to plan environmental initiatives that improve the sustainability of communities where we operate.
Data Privacy and Security
Cadence implements data privacy and security policies and procedures to protect our customers, partners, and employees. Our Information Security team works to identify and prevent risks to the protected data we collect. Our Chief Information Security Officer administers our data privacy and security program, with oversight from our Board’s Audit Committee.
Governance
Cadence benchmarks corporate governance practices of its S&P 500 peers and makes amendments to its practices to reflect their best practices. The Board, through its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, regularly reviews our corporate social responsibility program. In our annual engagement with stockholders in 2019, we discussed our environmental, social, and governance efforts in addition to our Board’s composition and diversity of background.
Supply Chain
Cadence is committed to doing business honestly and ethically everywhere we operate. We expect our suppliers to conduct themselves with the same high standards as our own employees. To ensure our relationships with our suppliers meet and support these expectations, we joined the Responsible Business Alliance as an Affiliate Member in 2018.
A Statement from the CEO
At Cadence, we provide the technologies our customers need to design and optimize innovative and differentiated electronic products that conserve energy and power. In 2019, we continued this world-wide focus by adding even more to our technology portfolio and by adding power-aware benefits. Moving forward, we will remain committed to advancing this effort for our customers, investors, and communities and to fostering an environment where our employees can make an impact.
