Axon is a mission-driven company with the overarching goal to protect life. This vision extends beyond just the products and technology that Axon develops, but how these goals are accomplished- with a sense of pride and responsibility.

These goals seek to achieve gender equality, build resilient infrastructure and foster innovation, promote safe living conditions in urban areas, reduce violence and death rates, promote the rule of law to ensure equal access to justice, and develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions.

"We are investing to solve big problems, and to deliver outstanding returns to all our stakeholders: shareholders, customers, communities and employees. And we have learned that business models that withstand the test of time are those that focus on building value in a sustainable way. Put simply: when we build products and services in a manner we can be proud of, they have a more positive impact on the world around us and create lasting sources of value."
-Rick Smith, CEO & Founder

Also in this report, Axon demonstrates its ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and ensuring equal opportunity and diversity in the workplace, including reporting a 16% year-over-year increase in women at the director level and above and a 26% year-over-year increase in people of color at the director level and above.
