Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging at Carbon
At Carbon, diversity isn’t an initiative—it’s part of our DNA. Our mission, “to enable creators everywhere to make what the world needs right now,” starts with the creators within our own walls. We are a team of people from different backgrounds, industries, and skillsets, united by a shared purpose and a belief that innovation thrives when diverse perspectives come together.
We believe that culture add makes us stronger than culture fit. Each person at Carbon brings a unique story, point of view, and set of experiences that fuel our creativity and shape the products we build. Our value of “Innovate from Diverse Perspectives” reminds us that inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the engine of our success.
Equity and inclusion are woven into how we work every day, from how we hire and grow our people, to how we debate ideas, make decisions, and celebrate wins. By assuming noble intent, acting with integrity, and holding ourselves accountable to one another, we build an environment where every individual feels respected, trusted, and empowered to do their best work.
When we bring together different perspectives and ensure everyone has a voice, we create the conditions for breakthrough innovation. That is what makes Carbon extraordinary.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs):
- Exist as safe, supportive, and educational communities at Carbon
- Promote the values of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy
- Create and embody the sense of belonging at Carbon for diverse groups
The ERGs are company-sponsored groups that are led by employees who come together based on shared characteristics or life experiences and include allies. We currently have three ERG’s at Carbon:
PR-IDE ERG
Our mission is to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ members and allies to discuss current topics, as well as creating a community at Carbon for support, awareness, and advocacy.
WOMEN’s ERG
Our mission is to bring Carbon employees together to find ways to empower, support, and celebrate women of all backgrounds, honoring our individuality while building community.
POC ERG
Our mission is to provide People of Color (POC) at Carbon the tools they need to excel personally and professionally. With the goal of supporting retention and advancement, we seek to foster a path for inclusion and a sense of belonging for all employees.
Employee Recognition
At Carbon, we believe that recognizing our employees is one of the most meaningful ways to celebrate the dedication, creativity, and impact they bring every day. Recognition not only shows appreciation for individual contributions, but also reinforces our values, inspires others, and strengthens our culture of collaboration and accountability. We celebrate our team in many ways—from broadcasting Bonusly shout-outs on office TVs to showcasing our wall of patents, to our quarterly Values Awards—ensuring that outstanding contributions are acknowledged and appreciated.
The Carbon Values Award celebrates team members who truly exemplify our company values. Nominating a colleague is a meaningful way to recognize their dedication—whether they consistently demonstrate our values, hold themselves and others accountable, collaborate effectively, or take bold risks with integrity. This award isn’t about perfection, but about making a positive impact on colleagues and inspiring others through their actions. Recipients are individuals who not only embody our values themselves but also encourage and guide others to embrace them in their everyday work, consistently steering teammates toward our shared values and holding others accountable in constructive ways.

Carbon Cares
Carbon is made up of a conscious, compassionate, and community-oriented group of people who are dedicated to making a difference. Through our Carbon Cares initiative, we connect employees with opportunities to give back and create meaningful impact together. Every team member is encouraged to use up to eight hours of paid volunteer time each quarter to support causes they care about.
Carbon Cares exists to empower employees to engage in service, collaboration, and community involvement that align with our values. Together, we aim to make measurable contributions in sustainability, environmental protection, animal welfare, and local community support—strengthening both our teams and the world around us.
Our Work Philosophy
We believe in the value of face-to-face connections and cross-team collaboration. Our office is an important gathering place for connecting, brainstorming, collaborating, and sharing information—accelerating innovation and making Carbon a great place to work. Our hybrid model includes three days a week in the office, reflecting our belief that in-person time strengthens relationships and creativity, while still allowing for the flexibility employees need to do their best work. We also recognize that some roles and functions can be fully or partially remote, depending on the nature of the work and the level of collaboration required across teams.

Our comprehensive health benefits in the U.S. include medical, dental, and vision insurance, a company contribution to their health Savings Account (HSA) when enrolled in our High Deductible Health Plan for you and your family, as well as stand-alone mental health resources and family-forming benefits that include infertility, adoption assistance, and surrogacy.
