“We’ve made sustainability one of the core principles of the
company, highly visible and encouraged throughout the enterprise,”
said Cynthia Curtis, chief sustainability officer, CA Technologies.
“This is evidenced in our commitment to further reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, which we intend to accomplish through a combination
of increased use of renewable energy, efficiency gains in our
facilities, and leveraging new and emerging technologies.”
“We’ve seen increasing numbers of CA Technologies employees help
define and implement sustainability solutions. Additionally, our
own operations demonstrate that sustainability is just good
business. By actively pursuing strategies that reduce energy use
and waste, we also are cutting costs at CA Technologies offices
around the world,” said Phillip Harrington, executive vice
president and chief administrative officer.
PEOPLE: The company increased internal and external
stakeholder engagement, and increased its focus on diversity and
inclusion, including a new emphasis on addressing the needs of
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees.
PLANET: The company introduced Green Teams — employee-led
volunteer groups that educate and encourage environmentally
friendly behaviors — which saw broad adoption across the globe. It
also improved operational efficiency by eliminating 28,000 square
feet of real estate and the associated energy consumption needed

helping to lead the IT industry’s shift from physical to virtual to
cloud, the Company will enable companies to reduce carbon emissions

Energy and Sustainability products from CA Technologies which help
customers improve energy and environmental reporting, supply chain
and program management, as well as increase data center efficiency
through data center infrastructure management.
