A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike traditional companies, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose alongside shareholder interests, focusing on societal impact, employees, and community. Veeva’s purpose is to enhance productivity and create quality employment opportunities in the industries we serve.

What sets us apart

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). We prioritize our public benefit mission, including making industries more productive and fostering high-quality jobs.

Veeva’s engineering teams focus on pragmatic, fast, and integrity-driven software development, providing an environment for engineers who value these principles.
