DigitalOcean is committed to acting responsibly and with integrity. We are committed to transparency and effective corporate governance.

Our Board of Directors as a whole oversees our ESG strategy and each standing committee addresses risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. A cross-departmental team that includes individuals from our social impact, legal, human resources and finance teams provides regular updates on our ESG priorities, performance and regulatory requirements. We have also instituted a risk management framework designed to support these ESG initiatives.

Governance & Transparency

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are designed to give our Board of Directors a framework for pursuing our objectives for the benefit of our stockholders.

Our Code of Conduct covers a wide range of business conduct, including honest and ethical conduct, insider trading, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and corporate opportunities.

Our Whistleblower Policy provides for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns related to questionable accounting and auditing matters and prohibits retaliation against any employees who submit concerns.

All employees and consultants are required to complete training to certify that they have read and understand our key policies, including the Code of Conduct and Whistleblower Policy, both as a part of our onboarding and on an annual basis.

Compliance Trainings

All of our employees and consultants are required to complete mandatory compliance trainings on an annual basis on our governance policies, diversity & inclusion and cybersecurity.
