Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where everyone belongs.
What it means to us
Creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where anyone feels like they belong takes an inclusion mindset, awareness and intentionality. But perhaps most of all, it takes action. Here’s what Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging means to us.

Challenging the stigma of mental health
We believe that everyone’s experiences of mental health – from illness to wellbeing – should be respected, welcomed and championed. Heart & Soul is how we’re making this happen.
Thoughts and feelings

Heart & Soul
In 2018, we launched Heart & Soul, our global mental health initiative. Heart & Soul focuses on three primary goals in mental health: raising awareness, providing support, and reducing stigma. Together, they bring focus and impact to all our initiatives.
By fostering a supportive environment where people look after themselves and each other, we can create a culture where everyone feels like they belong, and no one suffers in silence.

Supporting communities through social impact
We’re choosing to step up for society, act with purpose and use our platform for good. We want to help shape a world that is welcoming to all.
Let’s be part of the solution
The climate crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time. We must all work to be part of the solution so that people and the planet can thrive.
Changing the tune
There’s no clear blueprint for an audio streaming business like ours to reach net zero emissions by the end of 2030. But that doesn’t mean we’re not taking action – far from it.
We believe it’s our responsibility to drive progress in this space, and to share our journey with our partners and peers. Our immediate focus is to measure and understand our climate impact along our value chain so that we can prioritize the right actions, scale them and then collaborate to reduce it.
Of course, we’re already making changes – increasing energy efficiency in our offices, supporting internal climate communities and updating our climate tracking and risk assessment processes.

Amplifying historically marginalized voices and moments on our platform
Throughout the year, we celebrate various moments that center underrepresented communities and the issues they care about. We use creative storytelling to celebrate these groups and to drive community impact. We strive to tell untold tales of expression and progress from these communities that spark a greater understanding and inspire action.
