Ginkgo Bioworks- 2021 Sustainability Report
Our Approach to
Sustainability:
Caring How Our
Platform is Used
Engineers often say that technology is
neutral; however, we believe that we
cannot remain neutral when it comes
to the use of powerful technologies-
we care about how our platform is
used and about the impact it has on
the world. Our long-term commitment
to care drives our engagement with
our customers who seek positive long-
term impact, efforts in building large-
scale biosecurity technology, and
culture and modes of governance.
Ginkgo is building a horizontal platform for
programming cells across organisms in any
market and to address some of the most difficult
environmental and societal challenges. We recognize
that humans did not invent biology-rather, biology
invented us-so we must have humility about the
current limits of our understanding.
Our culture is built on care. For us,
that means transparency, diversity,
employee ownership, engagement,
and a deep, humble respect for
biology. Transparency is essential to
how we operate, to enable sharing
of the insights and tools that enable
our platform to grow, as well as to
build trust and accountability with
all of our stakeholders. We have
advocated for more transparency
in our industry, including supporting

GMO ("Genetically Modified
Organism") labeling, and seek to
educate policymakers and the general

that we pursue to realize our
commitment to caring are detailed on
