CEO Message

Visionary leadership
Oracle has been in the business of data for more than four decades—keeping it secure and using it to transform not only management practices but entire industries. Today, data isn’t just something to be analyzed in the rearview mirror. We’ve turned it into the navigation system. We’ve meticulously built every part of our technology stack for security and performance and infused it with AI throughout. Now we, along with our partners and customers, use data not only to steer our business but to see ahead and shape the future. Naturally, we take the same forward-looking approach to our environmental and social impact.
In this report, we talk about our philanthropy, people, planet, and governance and business practices. In each of these sections, you’ll see that same commitment to innovation, conscientiously built and data-driven.
Philanthropy
Like our business, our philanthropy is modern and ambitious. In fiscal year 2024, we donated US$28 million to more than 4,500 organizations in 56 countries through Oracle Giving. We support nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations that achieve transformational impact in the areas of education, health, community, and the environment.
We also have two nonprofit foundations of our own that focus on children and young people. Oracle Health Foundation makes pediatric case grants globally that fund medical care ranging from hearing aids to major surgeries. In fiscal year 2024, Oracle Health Foundation donated US$2.6 million toward life-changing and lifesaving care. Oracle Education Foundation teaches young people how to innovate, solve problems with technology, and shape a better future. It has delivered 80,000 hours of deep student learning in its current program (from 2014 to 2024), with support from more than 1,200 Oracle Volunteers.
Perhaps the most differentiating part of our philanthropy is our public-private partnership with Design Tech High School (d.tech), a pioneering public charter school located on our campus in Redwood Shores, California. While d.tech receives support from Oracle and Oracle Education Foundation, it is autonomous. Its unique educational model and innovative programs draw global attention. And, in the 2023–2024 academic year, it outperformed comparable California schools across multiple metrics, including graduation rates and college admissions.
People
Our people are our greatest assets. They make everything we do possible.
With nearly 160,000 employees around the globe, our culture invites diverse perspectives, inspires creativity, and enables our employees to do their best work without barriers. In fiscal year 2024, 30,137 Oracle Volunteers donated 126,369 hours of their time and talent to support 1,038 nonprofit organizations—strengthening their communities, promoting health, advancing education, and protecting the environment. And in support of workforce development, Oracle Academy worked with more than 38,000 educators globally to prepare young people for success in technology careers.
Planet
Caring for the planet is a key part of how we’re helping to shape the future. And it involves nearly every aspect of our business—our technology, our operations, our philanthropic endeavors, and the concerted efforts of our employees.
We continuously seek ways to lighten our environmental footprint, reduce emissions, conserve natural resources, promote a circular economy, and build cleaner and more efficient cloud infrastructure.
Our technology is not only helping us achieve our own sustainability goals; it’s also enabling our customers to do the same. Several of their success stories are featured in this report.
Our philanthropy also reflects our commitment to the planet. We fund wildlife conservation and research, advance ocean protection, invest in a zero-waste future, and sponsor environmental science education for young people. Oracle Volunteers help year-round to restore habitats, maintain open space, remove plastic and trash from beaches and waterways, and advance eco-friendly projects. They lead by example and inspire others to take action.
Practices
We’re committed to the highest standards of business ethics, sound corporate governance, and transparency. Throughout this report, you’ll see data on our companywide efforts around environmental and social impact. We also share our policies, resources, and a list of awards we earned in fiscal year 2024, including recognition on Fortune's list of the World's Most Admired Companies. And if you’d like to share your feedback, please write to us at impact_ww@oracle.com.

Safra Catz
