Structure, Operations, and Supply Chain
At Fastly, we deliver an edge cloud platform capable of delivering fast, safe, and engaging digital experiences. By focusing holistically on the edge cloud from developer inspiration to end-user experience, we have the opportunity to differentiate with our global footprint, dynamic infrastructure, and security solution.

We were initially incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in March 2011 under the name SkyCache, Inc. We changed our name to Fastly, Inc. in May 2012. Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California, and we also maintain offices in Culver City, Denver, Pleasanton, New York, London, and Tokyo1.
Fastly, Inc. has 18 direct and indirect subsidiaries2. In the preparation of this joint statement, we consulted with the entities owned and/or controlled by Fastly, Inc.
As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of 1,207 employees worldwide and 250 employees located outside of the United States. Fastly is an equal opportunity employer and we make our employment decisions based on performance, merit, qualifications, abilities, and the needs of our business. We have a zero tolerance policy for discrimination or harassment, and are committed to providing a safe work environment for all.

Our business is dependent upon the timely supply of certain parts and components to construct our servers, and we rely on third party suppliers for several components of the equipment we use to operate our network and provide products to our customers. Our main server supplier assembles our servers in Fremont, CA.
In addition, Fastly contracts with global channel partners who offer our performant and secure solutions on top of their own value-added services and other external vendors for other goods and services.
We recognize that there are modern slavery risks associated with our third party suppliers or vendors.
We are committed to operating our business in compliance with all applicable laws, and we neither do business where it is prohibited nor with prohibited persons. These principles are memorialized in our Code of Conduct. In keeping with these principles, Fastly is opposed to, and will not tolerate in our supply chain, any and all forms of slavery, human trafficking, child labor, forced servitude, or indentured labor. We select and engage suppliers after thoughtful consideration of our and our stakeholders' best interests, conduct diligence and pursuant to contracts that meet all legal requirements. We maintain documented policies for our engagement of vendors and provide training for members of our business involved with selecting and engaging suppliers. Under the Code of Conduct, all Fastly personnel are required to conduct themselves fairly, honestly and adhere to high ethical standards in the performance of their job, including how they select and engage with suppliers, vendors, and other employees.
Further, under our Code of Conduct and our Safe, Welcoming and Productive Work Environment Policy, employees are obligated to report anything that may be a violation of our Code of Conduct or other policies, or that seems unethical or unlawful.
