我们的员工

我们的价值观和行为准则帮助员工在 Cadence 获得成功。这些价值观和行为准则贯穿于我们整体业务中，推动着我们努力实现业务目标。这些价值观也影响着我们的招聘、目标设定、发展、晋升和表彰等方面。Great Place to Work Institute 将 Cadence 评为全球级的杰出雇主。我们的团队由充满激情、敬业和才华横溢的员工组成，他们为我们的客户、我们的社区以及员工彼此之间做出了诸多贡献。

我们设定了一个温室气体减排目标，即在 2019 年基线的基础上将范围 1 和 2 的气体排放量减少 15%。这一目标的制定受到科学减碳倡议组织 (Science Based Target Initiative) 的支持，并基于“全球气温升高不能超过 2 度”的观点。

供应链

Cadence 致力于在我们经营的任何地方都要诚实和道德地开展业务。我们希望我们的供应商能够像我方员工一样，遵循同样的高标准行事。为了确保我们与供应商的关系符合并支持这些期望，我们在 2018 年加入了责任商业联盟，成为联盟成员。

在 2020 年，我们重点开展了以下工作：

我们将严格的治理标准扩展到整个价值链，并制定了首版《供应商行为准则》。此外，我们还制定了一份供应商调查问卷，以便更好地了解我们的上游环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 风险和机遇，包括关注供应链的多样性，该问卷已于 2020 年分发给所有新供应商。
