Asana’s ESG Strategy: People, Planet and Product
The report details Asana’s ESG strategy across the dimensions of People, Planet, and Product, built on a foundation of Trust. The data and disclosures within the report cover the global operations for the fiscal year 2024, ending on January 31, 2024, and reported in accordance with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

People: Embracing human value
“To accomplish great things for the world, the organizations, teams, and people that make it possible need to be enabled to do their best work,” said Anna Binder, Head of People, Asana. “We believe that the hard work we put into building culture drives business results and helps us achieve our mission. This is why we’ve designed our culture with the same thoughtfulness and intentionality with which we’ve designed our product. As a result, this has created a culture which has been acknowledged across industry awards from Fortune, Inc., and Glassdoor.”
In addition to fostering a great place to work, we wanted to enhance and improve employee adoption of AI tools, so we founded the AI Council which is designed to foster a culture of AI-driven innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, ultimately improving productivity.
