Acting on our values

Since Adobe was founded in 1982, we have been guided by a set of core values around conducting business in an ethical and socially responsible manner. This includes sound corporate governance, a focus on employee success, caring for the environment, conscientious supply chain management, and active participation in the global community. We believe that when Adobe employees, customers, and partners all work together, we can solve critical social and environmental issues that affect how everyone lives and prospers.
