Viasat 2022 ESG report
See how we're having a  positive impact on people, the planet, and space
At Viasat, we are brought together by a shared desire to unlock opportunity for everyone, everywhere, through connectivity. Connections are the bridge to what’s possible, and we are fearless believers in possibility. The goal of our ESG program is to ensure that, as we fulfill this mission, we positively impact our people and communities, protect the environment and our precious resources, and operate with integrity in all facets of our business.Â
Viasat has made considerable progress during the past year with our ESG performance. In addition to the focus areas from last year, we have expanded on two critical areas where Viasat can have an impact: Maintaining safe and sustainable access to space and helping to foster digital inclusion.Â

At Viasat, we  empower our  employees to change the world for the better.Â
Â
We are constantly elevating the people around us to do their best work in support of our mission. We leverage the diversity of different perspectives and experiences to tackle the world’s hardest communications challenge — and that diversity one of our most treasured and valuable assets.
Â
Investing in the community is also a major part of Viasat’s culture. We encourage our employees to explore new opportunities to give back to the communities where they live, work, and play. Our employees help and give back in a wide variety of ways , including mentoring students to develop STEM skills,  supporting our veterans and their families, and providing support after natural disasters.Â
Access to the internet is a key indicator of education, health, and economic prosperity in a population — but billions around the world still struggle to access the most basic elements of connectivity.Â
Â
We understand that digital connection, equity, and inclusion are inextricably intertwined. To that end, we are building a financially sustainable business to connect people to high-speed broadband who were previously unconnected that maintains approachable price points — because quality and accessibility don’t have to be mutually exclusive.Â
At Viasat, we are brought together by a shared desire to unlock opportunity for everyone, everywhere, through connectivity — and we challenge ourselves to realize that mission in a way that is sustainable, responsible, and inclusive. We are committed to holding ourselves accountable to quantify and minimize any negative impacts our products, services, and business decisions may have on people, communities, and the environment. Â

Protecting our access to space is of the highest importance. The region of space nearest to Earth is increasingly used by and relied upon humans in their day-to-day lives, and it is an important part of the human environment — just like the oceans and other parts of our planet. This part of space is a finite and shared global resource, which must be protected and preserved for the use of all.Â
Â
To encourage the world to take notice and move the need on regulatory action, we believe it is critical to:
