Our responsibility
At SmartBear, we believe that building great software is only part of what we do. We're equally committed to building a better world — through giving back, fostering an inclusive culture, and advancing sustainable practices.
Three pillars of purpose
Our responsibility to people and the planet is built on three commitments that guide how we operate as a company.
SmartBear Gives Back
SmartBear Gives Back is SmartBear's global philanthropy initiative.
Inclusive Culture
SmartBear is committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all employees.
Sustainability
SmartBear follows science-based guidance for reduction target setting and our decarbonization strategy.
A passion to lead by example
We hold ourselves to a high standard — not just in our products, but in how we show up for our people, our communities, and our planet.
We strive to:
- Create meaningful opportunities for communities where we operate
- Build a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered
- Reduce our environmental footprint and operate sustainably
- Lead with integrity in everything we do
- Partner with organizations that share our values
SmartBear Gives Back
SmartBear Gives Back is SmartBear's global philanthropy initiative.
Through annual volunteering engagements with organizations as diverse as Child Rights and You (CRY) in India, the Somerville Homeless Coalition in Massachusetts, and Bath City Farm in the U.K., our employees get involved in their local communities with organizations that matter to them.
Through our Company Match program, employees can further support causes that mean the most to them personally.
Our annual observances for issues like Breast Cancer Awareness and Men's Health let our teams raise SmartBear-funded donations through participation in global events as well.
At many of our locations, SmartBear sends teams to annual charity runs or competitions where they represent the company by getting out and getting some exercise at the same time.
In Somerville, we hold an annual 3K run to benefit the Pan Mass Challenge and Dana-Farber Cancer research — a cause that was close to our late CEO, Justin Teague.

Inclusive culture
SmartBear is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and feel a sense of belonging.
We're dedicated to fostering a workplace that reflects a diversity of thought and experience, as well as our values of being smart, open, driven, accountable, and curious. Just as application integrity requires diverse testing approaches across every level of the software development lifecycle, we embrace diverse perspectives across every level of our organization.
Our Resource Groups – Women@SmartBear, Bold@SmartBear, Proud@SmartBear, and Care@SmartBear – are open to all employees and offer opportunities to build awareness and community while impacting the business.
When we operate from a foundation of engagement, inclusion, and opportunity, we not only hold ourselves accountable; we're better able to transform big ideas into sustainable realities. And that lets us create lasting change in our business and communities.
Because at the end of the day, we're here to help you make the world a more quality place – for everyone.

Sustainability
We see sustainability, in the broadest sense, as an ethical and smart approach to business.
In 2021, SmartBear signed the Vista Climate Agreement, committing to measuring, offsetting, and setting reduction targets each year since.
Having conducted five carbon surveys now, SmartBear continues to follow science-based guidance for reduction target setting and our decarbonization strategy.
We work with vetted carbon capture and avoidance projects to support carbon offsets alongside our reduction strategy, but never as a replacement for reduction.
We removed single-use plastics from our global offices, avoiding the use of hundreds of thousands of pieces per year. With wins like switching to 100% renewable energy at our Somerville headquarters in 2023, we continue to look for efficiencies across our global operations.
