IMPROVING OUR FOOTPRINT

We manage and improve our environmental footprint through established targets for energy use , transport , and material management . As we continue to grow our company and headcount , we strive to make our offices and fleet more efficient .

2020 TARGET

Reduce energy consumption in our operational footprint and within our service delivery
REDUCING ENERGY USE AND EMISSIONS
Based on the nature of our business , energy consumption associated with our office footprint is one of the significant ways we impact the environment through associated emissions . We have committed to reduce our energy consumption 20 % by 2020 , normalized to full-time employees .
In FY20 we achieved a 29.5 % reduction in energy consumption over our 2014 baseline – exceeding our 2020 target of 20 % reduction .
Operational efficiencies , including redesigning office space , employing more energy efficient technologies , and promoting awareness and behavioral changes have contributed to this reduction . We continue to see significant opportunity to improve our energy efficiency by incorporating energy use considerations in our office space lease negotiations and by shifting to a Work from Home model .

Working with our vendors to minimize our footprint
Data centers are large users of energy . The data center that we contract with generates ~ 60 % of its energy from carbon free and renewable sources . Implementing energy efficiency measures such as chiller operation improvements and LED lighting in FY20 also resulted in ~ 160 kw savings at the data center – helping reduce the impact of our extended Scope 3 footprint .
