Our commitment to doing the right thing

We are committed to creating a workplace that is ethical and respectful toward employees, customers, vendors, and others who engage with Asana. Simply put, we want all members of the Asana community to do the right thing when interacting with each other and our business.

Our Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our Code of Conduct and Ethics (the Code) is a guide for what doing the right thing looks like at Asana. It includes guidelines around conducting our business ethically, respectfully, and with integrity; strategies for avoiding conflicts of interest; steps to ensure we comply with the law and with Asana’s policies; and what to do if a potential violation occurs. All employees review the Code during new hire orientation, and in spring 2022, we launched Asana’s first Compliance Culture Checkup training, which is designed to deep dive on topics from the Code.

Asanas give and take responsibility for being respectful, ethical, and accountable in every interaction with our teammates, our clients, and the world around us. This guides Asanas in our day-to-day work lives, and is a core part of what makes our workplace culture unique and impactful.
