Direct Defence Contracting & Procurement

No public evidence identified of a Workday contract, tender award, framework agreement, memorandum, or official announcement involving the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israel Defense Forces, Israel Prison Service, Border Police, or another Israeli state-security body in the bounded searches and reviewed materials 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of a Workday listing in an Israeli defence-export directory, defence-exhibition catalogue, or public Israeli state-procurement record connected to an Israeli security contract 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Workday’s 2025 filing contains Israel-specific employee equity-plan provisions, including an Israeli Sub-Plan and trustee arrangements, but does not identify an Israeli defence, security-force, settlement, or occupied-territory customer or contract 6.

Dual-Use Products & Tactical Variants

Workday describes its offering as an enterprise AI platform with cloud solutions for workforce, finance, spend, and planning management 2.

The reviewed corporate disclosure does not describe a tactical, ruggedised, mil-spec, weapons-targeting, fire-control, or purpose-built kinetic product line 2.

No public evidence identified of Israeli military end-user certificates, export licences, export-control decisions, or other identified approvals concerning Workday supplies to Israeli military or security end users 6, 2.

Workday’s published workplace policy prohibits possession of weapons at Workday facilities, events, and customer sites; this is a workplace-safety rule rather than evidence of product design, contracting, or end use 7.

Heavy Machinery, Construction & Infrastructure

No public evidence identified of Workday equipment or services being used for settlement construction, demolition, the separation barrier, checkpoints, military installations, or other occupied-territory infrastructure in the reviewed materials 6, 3, 4, 5.

The document-scoped screening found no Workday mention in the reviewed 2023 and 2025 OHCHR settlement-business materials or the cited UN Special Rapporteur report 1, 3, 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of direct or indirect Workday contracts for construction, maintenance, servicing, or expansion of such infrastructure 6, 3, 4, 5.

Supply Chain Integration with Defence Primes

No public evidence identified of Workday supplying components, manufacturing services, weapons-effects software, or other sub-systems to Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael, IMI/Elbit Land, or another Israeli defence prime 2, 3, 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of Workday–Israeli-defence-prime joint development, co-production, licensed manufacturing, or technology-transfer arrangements 2, 3, 4, 5.

The absence findings are bounded by the reviewed sources and searches and do not substitute for direct review of Israeli reseller, implementation-partner, corporate-registry, or procurement records 6, 2.

Logistical Sustainment & Base Services

No public evidence identified of Workday providing catering, transport, fuel, facilities, telecommunications, freight, shipping, port handling, or comparable base-support services to Israeli military, prison, detention, or security installations 2, 3, 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of Workday services at installations in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights, or Negev 6, 3, 4, 5.

Munitions, Weapons Systems & Strategic Platforms

No public evidence identified that Workday is a prime contractor, licensed manufacturer, integrator, maintainer, or verified supplier of lethal platforms, munitions, precursor materials, missile-defence systems, strategic-defence systems, or critical weapons sub-systems for Israeli forces 2, 3, 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of Workday software whose designed output makes targeting decisions or produces a weapons effect for Israeli end users 2.

Export Licensing, Regulatory & Legal History

No public evidence identified of a public export-licence grant, denial, suspension, revocation, sanctions or export-control enforcement action, judicial proceeding, OECD National Contact Point complaint, or ICC/ICJ filing concerning a Workday defence-supply relationship with Israel 2, 3, 4, 5.

The available evidence does not include a retrieved IMOD or SIBAT tender record, DSCA/FMS notice, export-licensing decision, Israeli procurement entry, or Workday customer case study naming an Israeli security end user 6, 2.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Documented Investigations

The supplied document-scoped screening found no Workday mention in the reviewed UN Special Rapporteur report, 2023 OHCHR settlement-business database update, or 2025 OHCHR report 3, 4, 5.

The supplied screening also recorded no Workday mention in the specifically reviewed PAX, Al-Haq, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, BankTrack, BDS, KLP, and Who Profits materials, but that result is limited to those exact documents rather than their full databases or organisational work 1, 3, 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of an organised boycott, divestment, exclusion, or corporate-policy campaign specifically grounded in Workday’s Israeli defence-sector activity 1, 3, 4, 5.

Workday’s 2026 proxy identifies 11 directors, names Aneel Bhusri as Chair and CEO, and identifies David Duffield as co-founder and CEO Emeritus 2.

The proxy discloses that director Lynne Doughtie has served on Boeing’s board since January 2021, while not describing that role as involving Israel or an Israeli military programme 2.

David Duffield’s Schedule 13G reports beneficial ownership of 49,350,689 Workday shares as of 31 December 2025, calculated as 19.01% on the filing’s stated converted-share basis 8.

The reported Duffield holdings include shares held through the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation and Class B shares subject to the co-founder voting agreement with Bhusri 8.

The proxy identifies Bhusri as a Workday Foundation director, while the reviewed fiscal-year 2025 and 2024 foundation filings did not provide accessible recipient schedules for conclusions about Israel-, Palestine-, or political-advocacy-linked recipients 2, 9, 10.

No public evidence identified of an Israeli military donation, FIDF or reservist-fund donation, investment in an Israeli defence prime, or public co-belligerency statement by Workday or the identified controlling principals in the bounded review 2, 8, 9, 10.
