Impact at Cloudflare

Cloudflare believes that a better Internet can be not only a force for good, but an engine of global sustainability. We also believe that our mission means helping make the Internet better for everyone. Everyone should have access to an Internet that is faster, more reliable, more private, and more secure, and we strive to live up to our core values of being principled, curious, and transparent.

In 2021, we officially launched Cloudflare Impact, which is our comprehensive corporate responsibility, human rights, and sustainability initiative. Cloudflare Impact reflects a company-wide effort to find ways to use our network and the Internet to do good in the world.
