Wix.com Mission, Vision & Values

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Wix.com

We recognize the importance of fighting climate change and our responsibility to make the most sustainable choices. While our environmental efforts are relatively new, we’re developing a long- term plan, and we’re starting with the way we build our new headquarters.

About Wix's New Campus:

We are in the process of building a new headquarters and campus in Tel Aviv, Israel to accommodate our rapidly expanding employee base. The 65,000 square meter space will be partially completed in 2022 and fully completed in 2023 and will accommodate continued growth for years to come.

The building itself is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. We are also considering LEED standards in the construction of this campus and are incorporating best practices for sustainability in our planning. The plans include the following:
- Space planning that considers daylight optimization
- Motion-sensored and energy efficient lighting
- Energy efficient HVAC systems with an integrated U.V. light system
- Spaces with green roofs and outdoor areas accessible to employee
- Furniture designed for enhanced durability and flexibility
- Leak detection system to avoid water waste
- Recycling and compost areas for the restaurant
- Mass transportation options such as bicycle lanes and parking and shuttles from Tel Aviv and the local train station

Data Centers:

The main source of our environmental impact is our use of data centers. We do not own our data center operations -- instead we lease from major providers with ambitious sustainability commitments, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Equinix.

Ever since Wix started, our people have cared about their local communities. They have found ways to help and support local communities and hope to inspire others to join in. We have always given our time and skills to support others, and even though we’re not sharing a lot about these initiatives publicly, we can proudly say that our employees are passionate about engaging with their communities in any way they can. Here's how:

- Wix Playground Academy - a program hosted by Wix employees helps young creatives looking to enrich their professional skill sets, interact with industry leaders and network with other designers. While attending the Wix Playground Academy, we introduce design students to non-profits that they collaborate with. This initiative, called the Social Good Project, allows participants to give back to their communities while gaining invaluable design proficiency.

- A Site a Year - an annual initiative across the Design Guild where designers across Wix build a website from scratch for a small business or NGO.

- Wix Karma - a global initiative that gives our employees the opportunity to help others in any way they can. We believe that the best ideas come from our people, and we’re here to support their initiatives. With our support, they could give their time and skills to many worthwhile causes and organizations all over the world. Apart from that, we also use our technological resources to create products that assist non-profit organizations, governments and private initiatives.

- Wix Education - a program that provides teachers with the curriculum and resources to teach web creation in the classroom. The program is designed to help middle school and high school students develop digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. As part of that, we are successfully leading for the 4th year, the Israeli “Hour of Code” project, which encourages educators, parents, and students to expose kids to computer science.

- Wix Educational Partnerships - focuses on giving college and university students the tools, skills, and resources they need to succeed - both at school and in their careers. We partner with schools and universities across the US to integrate web development and design on Wix into their curriculum.
