Our Materiality Approach

In fiscal year 2023, we conducted our company's second ESG “materiality” assessment in collaboration with Anthesis in order to identify relevant ESG topics and assess Guidewire's strengths and opportunities in each area. The ESG materiality review considered a broad range of environmental, social, governance, and economic issues important to both Guidewire's business and its external stakeholders.

Guidewire’s ESG Strategy

As part of Guidewire’s ESG materiality assessment, the company validated the three ESG pillars established in our 2020 ESG materiality assessment and both substantiated and added programs under each pillar. Additionally, we continued to evolve our product sustainability strategy, which spans all three pillars and connects to programs in each pillar.
