SUSTAINABILITY
Committed to creating a sustainable future
At ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, we measure our success not only in financial terms but also by how we operate in the world. It¡¯s why we build sustainability into everything we do.
OUR PRIORITIES
Protecting the planet
Our approach to sustainability focuses on the areas where we can make the most impact.
We¡¯re actively reducing our carbon footprint, making investments in renewable energy, promoting climate policy, reducing and responsibly disposing of our e-waste, and encouraging our employees to adopt sustainable practices.
On a global level, we partner with other climate-focused leaders who believe it¡¯s our collective responsibility to support a sustainable future.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Taking action against climate change
²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has set science-based emissions reduction targets that are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5¡ãC above pre-industrial levels. We¡¯re aligning our sustainability journey with the transition to a net-zero future.
Catalysing climate impact
We work with other organisations to increase the scale and impact of our investments in climate solutions. This includes our long-term offtake agreement that provides a demand signal for high-integrity projects.
Investing in carbon removal
We¡¯ve joined Frontier, a $1 billion advance market commitment, to buy permanent carbon removal. We also made a $1 million investment to aid mangrove reforestation in Mexico and Kenya.
Mitigating our emissions
We made a bold commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions and operate on 100% renewable electricity by 2021. In fact, we¡¯re one of the first companies to achieve a lifetime net-zero carbon footprint.
OUR EFFORTS
Doing our part
We¡¯re always looking for ways to create a more sustainable future. Here are some of the efforts and policies we¡¯ve enacted to ensure we do our part.
Renewable electricity powers our purpose
We match 100% of the electricity used at our global offices and data centres with clean, renewable sources, and we helped create the first small aggregation clean energy deal.
Climate-focused goals on a global scale
We collaborate with other organisations to scale our environmental impact to help create global change.
We developed a climate policy statement
Since the creation of our climate policy statement, we¡¯ve accelerated our participation in the climate policy-making process to drive meaningful action.
Responsibly disposing what we can¡¯t recycle
We adhere to strict e-Stewards standards for e-waste disposal.
Training workers for green jobs
We actively foster the growth of green jobs by funding training programmes that equip individuals with the skills necessary for emerging sustainable careers.
