Living Sustainably at Personio
At Personio, we acknowledge our privileges and are committed to positively impacting the environment and society. We back our words with tangible actions and make our efforts transparent to inspire others by demonstrating what's possible.
Personio Foundation
Personio Foundation was established in 2021, based on a commitment made when we were founded to set aside 1% of our company’s equity to impact wider society and good causes. This 1% stake is currently worth $85 million. Additionally, we proudly support 1,000+ nonprofit, public sector, education, and research organizations, representing 8% of our total customer base.
"At Personio, we take action to have a positive influence on society as well as the environment, not only with our product but on a company-wide level."

Our sustainability journey
We’re taking steps to operate Personio in an environmentally-sustainable way. We are actively working towards reducing and compensating our CO2 emissions with the support of our partners. When we offset, we do so by supporting certified climate action projects that tackle the existential issue of climate change. In 2021 alone we offset 6,178 tCO2E.
It starts with us
Our employee-led Sustainability Committee is on a mission to make Personio a greener organization, and has implemented measures within the areas of business travel, office set-up, and employee engagement to help us reach this goal.
In addition, each of our employees has one paid day per year to volunteer and make an impact on the environment and society – whether for an individual project of their choice and one for a company-wide initiative.
