Living Our Values

SVB’s values guide our actions, from our approach to supporting small businesses and community engagement to our ESG reporting.

Advancing innovation for a better world

SVB is dedicated to the success of the innovation economy. More than ever, we need to be agents of change by taking care of what matters. We do this by helping companies and partners innovate, thrive and create jobs; providing a culture where our employees can learn and grow; and, together with our partners and employees, building toward a more just world. Our dedication to supporting evolving technologies enables us to contribute to creating a more equitable and sustainable, low-carbon, net-zero emissions economy.
