Aside from the zip code of our office building[Brooklyn], Portland has been the bedrock of ourcustomer base for years. Etsy practically inventedbird-on-apparel technology, so this is our way ofsaying ‘thank you’ to a city that literally helped putus on the map by making feather hair-clips andsteampunk goggles socially acceptable articles ofclothing. “Etsy Acquires Portland” April 1, 2012

With the rise of small businesses around the world wefeel hope and see real opportunities: Opportunities forus to measure success in new ways… to build local,living economies, and most importantly, to help createa more permanent future.Hello EtsySeptember 2011
gross national product … doesnot allow for the health of ourchildren, the quality of theireducation, or the joy of theirplay, the beauty of our poetry orthe strength of our marriages. . .it measures everything, inshort, except that which makeslife worthwhile.Robert Kennedy, US Senator1968
We are a mindful, transparent, and humane business.We plan and build for the long term.We value craftsmanship in all we make.We believe fun should be part of everything we do.We keep it real, always.
B CORP DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCEWe hold these truths to be self-evident:That we must be the change we seek in the world;That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered;That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses shouldaspire to do no harm and benefit all.To do so, requires that we act with the understanding that we are eachdependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and futuregenerations.
Etsy is not a nameless, faceless Internet company.Etsy is a community of real people creating realeconomic value in the communities our senatorsrepresent. And we believe that platforms like Etsyare a model for a brighter economic future.Notes from Chad: Visit to the United States SenateEtsy News blogJuly 2012
