Cloudflare Signs European Commission Declaration on Gender Balanced Company Culture

Cloudflare attended a roundtable meeting in Brussels, convened by the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, Mariya Gabriel, with all signatories of the Tech Leaders’ Declaration on Gender Balanced Company Culture. The company joined this initiative late last year and is committed to taking action to close the digital gender divide in skills, technology development, access, and career opportunities. Companies involved have committed to implementing five specific actions to achieve equality of opportunities for women: fostering an inclusive company culture, recruiting and investing in diversity, giving women a voice and visibility, creating future leaders, and advocating for change. The project allows companies to exchange ideas and best practices, as well as discuss challenges faced. Cloudflare has put significant effort into its diversity and inclusion programs, including gender, with initiatives such as the Cloudflare Aware (Diversity & Inclusion) Programme and partnerships with external organizations like Toastmasters. The company is also keen to speak to women from an engineering background and supports the UK Tech Talent Charter.
