Following Through on Metas Civil Rights Audit Progress – Investor Relations

Today, just more than one year after the Civil Rights Team was established, were releasing Metas Progress on Civil Rights Audit Commitments. This report marks the beginning of the Civil Rights Teams path to enhance protections for marginalized communities and demonstrates our commitment to move toward increased equity, safety and dignity on our platforms. Meta is committed to that evolution and its long-term progress.

I joined Meta, formerly known as Facebook, in January 2021 as the head of the Civil Rights Team, and as of just a few weeks ago, my team has grown to nine full-time employees. This team was created as a result of the audit that the company voluntarily undertook. The Auditors conducted their review over the course of two years and published a final report in July 2020.

The audit covered seven substantive issue areas under the leadership of Laura Murphy, a veteran civil rights and civil liberties leader, and was supported by Megan Cacace, a civil rights attorney and partner at Relman Colfax PLLC at the time of the audit.

The auditors described 117 actions and recommendations. 65 have been implemented, and 42 are either in progress or are ongoing, given the nature of the recommendation. We will continue to evaluate the feasibility of eight, and there are two recommendations that will not be implemented.

Some key highlights from the report include:

To become a better company, we have to meaningfully engage in how we can strengthen and advance civil rights at every level, and we remain committed to doing this industry-leading work.
