This year, Intuit marked its 40th anniversary. A lot has changed in the company since our founding, but our commitment to live by our values and make the world a better place has never wavered. This commitment has been one of the key drivers in our ability to grow and thrive for over four decades. At Intuit, corporate responsibility (CR) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not afterthoughts; they’re core to who we are and intrinsic parts of our business.

Several years ago, we embedded CR and DEI into the company’s strategy and declared goals for each in order to hold ourselves accountable for our actions. Our progress against these goals is one of the ways we measure the success of the company’s efforts. I’m happy to report that in fiscal year 2023, we made great progress toward all our long-term goals.

As we celebrate this milestone year, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish. From helping 2.5M young people be better prepared for their financial future, to declaring our goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain by 2040, to activating thousands of employees to give back to small businesses and nonprofits in their communities—we’ve continued to push ourselves to find new ways to deliver on our mission of powering prosperity around the world.

At Intuit, we never stop raising the bar for ourselves. This, combined with our passion to make an impact on the world around us—especially for those who need it most—has fueled our first 40 years and will continue to be at the heart of the company as we embrace the opportunities ahead of us.

We will be unwavering in our commitment to power prosperity around the world, making the world a better place.
