Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Fostering Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
Improving DEI is one of Coupa’s core commitments. Our DEI strategy rests on three pillars: Talent, Workplace, and Market & Communities.
Effective outreach and equitable hiring practices
Coupa's objective is to increase the hiring, retention, and promotion of people in underrepresented demographics.
Equitable and inclusive culture of belonging
Our employees model behavior that reflects our commitment to DEI. We have an environment where everyone feels respected.
We create DEI success
By supporting our suppliers, customers, and communities we lead by example, making DEI explicit through our actions.

GenderCool Learning Exchange
The GenderCool Learning Exchange connected transgendered youth with Coupa employees for mutual learning. Youth explored tech careers, while Coupa gained insights into the transgendered community and future workforce.
Inclusive Leadership Cohort
Our Inclusive Leadership Cohort includes current and emerging leaders carefully selected from across the business. This group received anonymous feedback on their inclusive leadership traits from peers, direct reports, and other colleagues, enabling them to identify strengths and actionable areas for growth to further develop our inclusive work environment.
Inclusive Leadership Workshops
Our Inclusive Leadership Workshops, facilitated by Coupa’s DEI team, also delved into unconscious bias and provided actionable mitigation strategies. These workshops have engaged nearly 200 employees in interactive sessions and practical exercises to equip them with tools to recognize and address their own biases, helping create a more equitable and inclusive workplace and ensuring diverse perspectives are valued and integrated into decision-making processes.
Unintentional Bias Workshops
In partnership with Greatheart Consulting, we hosted Unintentional Bias workshops for over 50 Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents to learn how to identify and mitigate the subtle biases that impact our decision-making process and workplace culture.
Mckinesy Connected Leaders Academy
McKinsey Connected Leaders Academy is a professional development program designed by McKinsey & Company to cultivate leadership skills among diverse talent. The Academy fosters inclusive leadership and equips participants with the insights and strategies needed to excel in senior roles.
