IAS’s mission is to be the global benchmark for trust and transparency in digital media quality for the world’s leading brands, publishers, and platforms. As we embark on new frontiers, we are focusing strategically on ESG. Achieving this goal requires us to first set our own goal as a company: a promise to empower and enable growth in our employees, customers, and communities.

At IAS, our culture is defined by a clear set of six values that guide our business and the meaningful change we seek to have on our employees and community.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
“We Are One Team” is our company value and commitment to create an environment where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. Our diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences create our unique team and fuel our innovation. We execute on our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals through numerous programs including our employee resource groups, an employee-led DEI council, benefits, and more. Our values guide us — we live them every day, measure our success, and continuously evolve.
Non-discrimination
At every stage of the employee life-cycle, we are committed to upholding standards of non-discrimination. Our Global Non-Discrimination Statement states, “Having a diverse workforce – made up of team members who bring a wide variety of skills, abilities, experiences, and perspectives – is essential to our success. We are committed to the principles of equal employment opportunity, diversity, inclusion, and respect. The Company will not tolerate discrimination and expressly prohibits any form of unlawful harassment based on race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, military service, genetic information, citizenship status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local law.”
Inclusion and Diversity Council
The Inclusion and Diversity Council’s role is to uphold IAS company values and champion Inclusion & Diversity initiatives. Additionally, this council serves as the guiding body for Inclusion & Diversity, provides oversight of ERG initiatives, and ensures accountability and monitoring of these strategies at IAS.
Employee Resource Groups
Part of the continued inclusion efforts at IAS includes our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These are employee-led groups that foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned to our corporate mission, values, and goals.
