Dynata Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) Statement: Current Practices


Dynata is a data-driven organization that is committed to corporate social responsibility and sustainability through the systematic application environmental, social and governance principles throughout the organization. These disciplines guide us in acting responsibly and with care both within our organization and in our external partnerships.

Privacy and Data Security
Dynata recognizes the importance of data privacy and data security and has established an Information Security program to manage Dynata’s data security requirements and constantly monitor developing trends and threats. The program is led by qualified information security professionals who closely collaborate with Dynata’s General Counsel to ensure that any contractual or regulatory data protection requirements are integrated into the information security program. The Information Security team leverages all the necessary departments and staff at Dynata to address security issues as they arise.

Environmental
Dynata minimizes environmental impact through our partnership with Ecosia, a search engine that donates 100% of revenue profit on reforestation efforts. In nearly a year of partnering with Ecosia, we have planted 54,342 trees (as of June 1), achieving our yearly goal in less than 6 months. We plant a tree every time we hire a new employee, add a new client, or sign a deal over $10K. We also encourage employees to use the Ecosia search engine on their Dynata devices.

Social
Dynata prioritizes the wellbeing of all our employees by our robust commitment to diversity and inclusion, career development, and opportunity to contribute meaningfully to their own communities. We are also committed to making an impact in the industry, from ensuring our panels are diverse to guiding our clients on how to be more inclusive in their research.

Governance
Dynata has earned a strong reputation for committed value, integrity, and trustworthiness from customers worldwide because our employees meet the highest standards of ethical conduct, service, and product innovation. As such, we are committed to working hard to maintain those high standards, and to preserve the trust we have earned over the years. Adhering to our Business Code of Conduct provision and practicing our basic principles accomplishes these objectives. Dynata will introduce from time‐to‐time mandatory training initiatives geared to give additional education to employees on compulsory compliance standards such as Anti‐ Harassment, anti‐bribery, data protection, etc.

We believe in and trust our employees. We consider each employee to be a mature, responsible adult; and presume at the very outset that our employees share common goals, values and objectives. It is expected that everyone engage in the highest standards of business conduct so that the safety, security, and well‐being of all employees, customers, and neighboring communities, as well as company assets and property, can be protected.
