Company's fiscal year 2021 Global Citizenship
Annual Report details its progress toward protecting the
environment
Seagate® Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader
in mass-data storage infrastructure solutions, today pledged to
power its global footprint with 100% renewable energy by 2030, and
to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. The environmental
sustainability goals are being announced in conjunction with the
release of the company’s 16th Global Citizenship Annual Report
(GCAR). Building on our Science Based Targets, we are expanding our
actions in support of Seagate’s commitment to a sustainable
datasphere and protecting the environment.
“Seagate’s value of Integrity compels us to take meaningful and
measurable action on climate change,” said Joan Motsinger, senior
vice president, business sustainability and transformation at
Seagate. “Today, we publicly share our commitments, and we are well
on our way to achieving these milestones both within our
operations, with electricity sources, and with our suppliers and
customers.”
Seagate will reach its environmental sustainability goals
through commitments spanning Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions as defined by The Greenhouse Gas Protocol and Reporting
Standard.
“Seagate, along with industry peers and global stakeholders,
must address the harm caused by materials depletion, power and
water overuse, and waste,” said Balan Shanmuganathan, senior
director of sustainability at Seagate. “That is why we are boldly
and publicly committing to specific and aggressive reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions to achieve carbon neutrality.”
In addition to establishing its long-term environmental
sustainability goals, the company also published its 2021 fiscal
year (July 2020-June 2021) Global Citizenship Annual Report. The
report offers a comprehensive look at the company’s yearly progress
towards meeting emission reduction targets, product stewardship,
talent enablement, diversity goals, labor standards, fair trade,
supply chain, and more. Highlights of the report include:
