SUSTAINABILITY &

SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT

2016 Letter from our CEO Adobe'

s mission is to change the world through digital experiences.

We enable individuals and organizations to create, connect, teach and advocate in ways that help them work better and drive deeper connections. We'

re proud of the ways our products help our customers make an impact. But we believe that changing the world also extends to how we run our business, support the communities around us, and work to reduce our effect on the environment. We start by ensuring our 16,000+ employees are treated fairly and with respect. We invest in programs that drive greater workforce diversity and inclusion worldwide, and believe that when people feel valued, they can be more creative, innovative and successful. We actively encourage our employees to be involved, leading lives that help support their communities and sustain the environment. We operate our business responsibly and sustainably. We believe that sound sustainability strategies are good for our business and the environment. We support the transition to a low-carbon economy, and are committed to running our sites and delivering our products with

100 percent renewable energy by 2035. Our commitment to sustainability also extends to developing products that help customers operate more efficiently, whether through digital delivery of our software, paperless workflows driving their businesses, or virtual collaboration that helps reduce emissions from transportation and shipping.

Our programs and philanthropic investments in education are supporting a more diverse workforce in computer science, as well as greater access to technology and inspiration for the next generation of artists. In 2016, we piloted two new programs: Project 1324, an initiative to support, connect and amplify the work of emerging creatives;

and the Adobe Digital Academy, a training program that helps adult underrepresented minorities transition into the Tech industry from non-technology fields. In 2016, we were honored to be named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World, the gold standard in the investor community for corporate responsibility reporting. In addition, we were named one of Fortune'

s Best Places to Work for the 17th year in the U.S, and ranked #27 on CR Magazine'

s

100 Best Corporate Citizens List. I couldn'

t be more pleased by these accomplishments, and how they demonstrate the commitment of our workforce to sustainability and social impact. I invite you to learn more about our corporate responsibility initiatives in the attached report, and to join us in our commitment to a more sustainable future. Sincerely, Shantanu Narayen President and Chief Executive Officer ? Continued from previous page Adobe Social Impact
