We generate positive community impact, solve social challenges around the world, and create access to opportunity by mobilizing the resources of Synopsys, Inc. and The Synopsys Foundation, as well as our employees’ contributions of time, expertise, and charitable giving.

By working to deliver meaningful change, we bring our Smart Future strategy to the local level and live our commitments across three primary focus areas: education, community, and environment.

Synopsys for Good Focus Areas

We approach planning and decision making through an equity lens, centering the needs, perspectives, and lived experiences of the diverse communities we aim to serve.

Education | Synopsys

Education

Focusing on K–12 (primary and secondary) education, we aim to prepare students for the future of work and innovation with STEM education experiences. We partner with organizations that work to close equity and achievement gaps; inspire and engage students to build problem-solving, design-thinking, and digital skills; and increase diversity in STEM education and career pathways.

Community | Synopsys

Community

Focusing on the communities where we operate, we aim to improve quality of life and address essential needs and inequities. We partner with organizations combating food insecurity and hunger, supporting inclusion efforts, and leveraging technology to address social challenges.

Environment | Synopsys

Environment

Focusing on climate change, we aim to mitigate its effects on people and the plant. We partner with organizations that help protect ecosystems, improve access to and use of clean energy in rural and low-income communities, and create experiences that shape the next generation of environmental stewards.

Delivering Positive Change

Our Synopsys for Good program is managed by our Social Impact team and executed in partnership with employee Community Leads and Community Involvement Teams around the world. We take a regional management approach to philanthropy and employee community engagement, and utilize a globally accessible online portal to manage volunteer projects, monetary and volunteer-time matching gifts, and employee giving campaigns.
