People

Leveraging our people to maximise social impact

Tangible change starts with our people. That applies to how we treat them, and how they treat the planet and its people.

Prioritizing DEI practices

Everyone has a voice at Adyen. We foster a sense of belonging and nurture connections beyond the workplace. Our people take the lead in promoting social action that’s in tune with the subtleties of the world.

Our volunteering initiatives in action
Our employees can collectively organise office-wide volunteering and fundraising campaigns to connect with charities and causes they care about. 
They can also lead the change individually. They can request and track paid time off to volunteer for their preferred causes as they would for holidays or personal time.
