Impact

As we grow, so does our responsibility

We work to meet today’s needs and innovate to fulfil tomorrow’s potential. Our ambitions transcend business. We take seriously the long-term trajectory of the world around us.

We are a link in the larger value chain that powers global commerce and are aware of the effects of this both socially and environmentally. We acknowledge this and actively work to be part of the solution.

We strive to develop and use our financial technology in responsible ways. As we grow, we invest in compensation programs to make a real difference.

We have an opportunity to make a positive impact on the planet and its people through our financial technology. By combining innovation with a strong sense of purpose, we can make lasting, meaningful changes.

Our 1% promise

We’re committed to contributing 1% of our annual net revenue, instead of a fixed amount, to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our employees choose where we invest these funds.

Our donations product

Adyen Giving lets businesses support impactful causes at checkout. We absorb all costs associated with donations, like scheme fees, increasing the return on investment for non-profits.

Adyen’s 1% pledge shows a heart-warming commitment to refugees and displaced people worldwide. With UNHCR as a recipient, Adyen has supported us in delivering critical assistance to people facing crises such as the war in Ukraine and the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria.
