Silicon Valley Bank

- We’re working for something bigger.

We look forward to coming to work because we’re doing things that have never been done before. Through our own unique contributions and by supporting the vision of others, we’re fostering innovation all over the globe each and every day.

And it takes all of us, from the technologist creating innovative solutions to the office manager making things run smoothly and efficiently to the relationship manager who knows our client’s business needs inside and out.

Together, we’re working for something larger than a bank. We’re working to help those we serve become more successful and make a greater impact as citizens of the world. And whether it’s with our clients by our side or out there on our own, we pride ourselves on getting involved with the community and supporting the causes that align with our values.

Because at SVB, we believe this is true power. The power to make a difference.

At SVB,

· We start with empathy for others.

· We speak and act with integrity.

· We embrace diverse perspectives.

· We take responsibility.

· We keep learning and improving.

We help create the conditions for innovation to thrive by lowering barriers so that current and future entrepreneurs can overcome obstacles, pursue big ideas and make a powerful impact on people’s lives. Through our programs, we help the communities in which we work and live.

- Increasing Access to Innovation

Creating opportunities for underrepresented individuals in the innovation economy through educational and workforce opportunities for emerging talent, increasing connections and funding available for female- and minority-founded startups, and encouraging gender parity and diversity in leadership

- Corporate Giving

We support our employees’ passion for community giving in two key ways. SVB employees may apply for SVB Foundation grants on behalf of nonprofit organizations for which they actively volunteer and SVB matches an employee’s personal donations and volunteer hours to nonprofit organizations of their choice.

- Corporate Social Responsibility

SVB champions innovation by helping entrepreneurs execute their big ideas. We take the same approach with initiatives that support the communities in which we live and work.

- SVB in the Community – Employee Volunteers

Our employees volunteer their time and talents to help community nonprofits. Many choose to mentor youth in STEM subjects, financial literacy and entrepreneurship and provide leadership and financial guidance to nonprofit organizations.

- Public Policy Engagement

We amplify our clients’ voices at all levels of government to advance policies that help the innovation economy grow and promising companies thrive. We annually publish a public policy report for government leaders.

- Expanding Affordable Housing to Build Stronger Communities

When people are priced out of the housing market, business competitiveness and quality of life decline. According to the Silicon Valley Leadership Group's 2016 CEO Business Climate Survey, affordable housing is one of the top concerns for Bay Area CEOs.

Silicon Valley Bank’s Community Development Finance team has committed nearly $270 million in Community Reinvestment Act-qualified investments and closed more than $859 million in loans to build 8,389 affordable housing units in the past two decades. We partner with for-profit and nonprofit groups across Northern California to build innovative homes for seniors, disabled adults, veterans, low-income families and the chronically homeless. Additionally, we work to implement public policies to increase resources for community development.

- SVB Trek

To champion the next generation of innovators, Silicon Valley Bank opens its doors each year to connect ambitious, entrepreneurially-minded college students with creative minds, world-class investors and industry leaders.

- We embrace diverse perspectives and foster a culture of belonging

SVB's values guide our actions, from our approach to supporting small businesses to community engagement and to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We take a multipronged approach to that includes corporate goals to increase diversity among senior leaders, employee awareness programs and employee resource groups, regular training and educational opportunities, fair pay analysis, leadership development, and hiring outreach programs.

We have an executive-led Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Steering Committee and an employee advocacy network focused on these objectives, and we encourage our employees to share their thoughts on diversity, equity, and inclusion topics. Our employee resource groups unite diverse groups of employees and their allies in the following communities: Afro Diaspora, Asian, Hispanic/LatinX, LQBTQ , Military/Veterans, and Women. We support these efforts with a Code of Conduct based on respect and invite you view our current diversity metrics in our most recent Diversity, Equity and Inclusion report.

Our Access to Innovation initiative was launched in 2017 to transform lives by creating new opportunities for underrepresented groups across the innovation economy. Today, we are building educational, employment and funding pathways by nurturing emerging talent, expanding connections and funding for Black, LatinX and women founders and venture capital investors, while working toward gender parity and diversity in leadership.

We are proud to be a member of the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index, recognized for our expanding efforts focused on gender equality. We continue to evaluate our progress to advance diversity at SVB and within the innovation economy and enjoy strategic partnerships with organizations such as All Raise, AfroTech, theBoardlist, Conferences for Women, LatinX VC, StartOut, Valence and Venture Forward.
