Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2023

The 2023 Block, Inc. (formerly Square, Inc.) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report is live. You can read it here.

Economic empowerment is Block’s uniting purpose. It shapes the products our businesses build and the policies we pursue, both within Block and beyond.

This year’s report focuses on how Block is supporting economic empowerment for our customers, communities, and employees and through our climate action and corporate governance. Our aim is to offer a transparent look into the company’s progress and commitments to furthering our purpose in the past year.

Some highlights from the 2023 CSR report:

• Insights on how we’re allocating Block’s $100 Million Racial Equity and Social Impact Investment fund, with two new international investments in the UK and Australia.
• Updates on our progress toward net zero carbon emissions for operations by 2030.
• Details on Block’s Oakland Community Hub, which now includes Uptown Market — a space where local businesses can reach new customers and build community.
