2022 Impact Executive Summary

"We're creating a more sustainable future for our global community."

eBay exists to connect people and build communities to empower economic opportunity for all. As a core part of that mission, we're committed to helping people make more meaningful choices for their purchases and businesses. From our start more than 25 years ago, we've championed recommerce, promoting a healthier planet and economy through the selling and buying of pre-loved goods on our marketplace. At the same time, we're making key strides toward our own climate goals - and weaving sustainability throughout our company culture and giving efforts.

I'm proud of all the ways our team innovates on behalf of our sellers and buyers. That focus on customer success fuels everything we do. Which is why I'm so hopeful about what we can achieve together as we continue to lead the way forward, creating a more sustainable future for our global community.

- Jamie Iannone, President and CEO

2022 Impact Executive Summary

Issues Material to eBay

In 2022, we partnered with GlobeScan, an independent research and advisory firm, to update and expand our sustainability materiality assessment from 2019, prioritizing the most salient issues to sustainability and to our business. The update included adjusting the matrix's axes to incorporate impact outwards on the environment and society (y-axis) and impact inwards on our business and financial success (x-axis), incorporating additional data sources like external frameworks, ESG ratings, consumer insights and peer benchmarking. Input for this update involved a much larger variety of stakeholders, including eBay employees, external subject matter experts, relevant NGOs and more. The new matrix highlights key issues according to four main themes: economic opportunity, sustainable commerce, culture and workforce and trusted marketplace. The results from this materiality update inform eBay's sustainability strategy, initiatives and goals.
