The Oyster journey in 2023 was one of increased impact and validation of our mission. We obtained B Corp status and significantly increased the number of people from emerging economies engaged on our platform. As our report shows, Oyster continues to have a positive effect on the lives of workers across the world. 

‍

We remain committed as an organization to combating societal and environmental challenges and strive to lead by example. Our tradition of radical honesty in impact reporting continues, as we aim not just to share successes but to trigger essential conversations about the role of tech companies in creating a positive impact.
