Guided by our core values, we are committed to advancing breakthrough science and giving patients the opportunity to live healthier lives. This commitment is central to how we operate and foundational to our approach to corporate responsibility. We have laid out the following commitments as part of our corporate responsibility strategy:
- Providing meaningful work and development opportunities to our employees
- Striving to recruit, hire, and retain a talented and diverse team of people who align with our values and fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace
- Conducting our business with the highest professional and ethical standards and operating with integrity and mutual respect
- Maintaining a well-developed environmental, health, and safety program, which is reinforced through rigorous policies, education, and engagement of our employees and internal and external periodic audits
- Making it easy and affordable to complete our tests
- Investing in environmental sustainability and responsible supply chain operations
Our annual Corporate Responsibility reports provide more details around these commitments and other key environmental, social, and governance issues specific to our business. We identified these topics after analyzing external reporting frameworks, such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards, peer company ESG practices, third-party rating agency assessments, and input from investors, customers, and other stakeholders.
“Our goal from day one has been to provide tests for patients at all stages of cancer so they can live longer and healthier lives. We believe that to serve patients well, it is important to also act responsibly in our relationships with our employees, our communities, and the environment.”
– Helmy Eltoukhy, Guardant Health co-founder and co-CEO
