Company Achieves Ambitious Carbon Reduction
Goal Four Years Ahead of Schedule
Today’s release of CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) latest
Sustainability Report marks a continued evolution of corporate
social impact, from environmental stewardship to broader societal
change. The report outlines how CA Technologies Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) efforts are linked to their business,
positively benefiting customers, employees and communities around
the world.
“Our CSR commitments reflect important global issues that affect
our employees and customers, from environmental challenges to data
security to talent management. Each year we monitor the trends that
impact our business and our communities, and we respond by making
strategic investments in our infrastructure and CSR programs to
meet emerging needs,” said Erica Christensen, vice president,
Corporate Social Responsibility, CA Technologies. “I’m proud of the
progress we have made this year, discovering ways to operate with
more purpose and advance sustainability within the communities we
serve.”
Report highlights include:
- Carbon Emission Reduction. Since
2006, CA has reduced its carbon footprint by approximately 36
percent, achieving an absolute GHG reduction target four years
ahead of schedule. The Environmental Protection Agency equates this
to removing 7,176 passenger cars from the road.
- Materiality Assessment. In 2016,
CA refreshed its materiality assessment, last conducted in 2013, to
further align corporate sustainability strategy. Emerging focus
areas include talent attraction and retention, diversity and
inclusion, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)
education, and cybersecurity and privacy.
- Water & Waste Management. CA
data centers utilize closed-loop water systems for cooling, thereby
minimizing water use. In addition, CA reclaims 100 percent of
rainwater from surfaces at its Hyderabad, India facility for
landscaping needs.
- STEM Education. CA is committed
to building the STEM pipeline and increasing educational and
professional participation by underrepresented groups, in
particular women and students of color. This includes partnerships
and programs with nonprofits including 100Kin10, the Anita Borg
Institute for Women and Technology, the Boys & Girls Clubs of
America, Change the Equation, Citizen Schools, DonorsChoose.org,
Iridescent, IT-oLogy, NPower and PENCIL.
- Green Buildings and Green
Leases. CA incorporates sustainability elements into new
leases, including provisions requiring the use of cleaning
materials that are Green Seal-certified, inclusion of
building-recycling programs, use of lighting sensors in common
areas, and landscape irrigation systems that utilize rain sensor
devices to minimize water use.
- Employee Generosity. In FY2016,
CA matched more than $1.3 million in employee donations to more
than 1,600 nonprofits. This year, CA Technologies amplified their
commitment to helping employees give back by increasing the
matching gift limit from $5,000 to $10,000 and the number of
volunteer days from three to five. The company’s worldwide employee
volunteer initiative, CA Together in Action, takes place during the
week of Earth Day in April. CA employees take time out of their
workday to give back by participating in environmentally-focused
volunteer projects and supporting the advancement of STEM
learning.
- Inclusion and Diversity. CA’s
THRIVE program helps create an inclusive and flexible workplace by
attracting, nurturing and retaining a diverse workforce. In the
company’s most recent Employee Opinion Survey, 95 percent of all
employees said their immediate manager treats employees fairly
regardless of their age, family/marital status, disability,
race/color, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.
CA Technologies believes that today’s world needs products that
are sustainable by design, with the inherent agility to take
advantage of the application economy. Agile development contributes
to sustainability, as it maximizes resource utilization and
minimizes unnecessary expenses. At the same time, a world driven by
software must put people at the center. CA Technologies CSR efforts
combine environmental benefits with societal programs that
transform lives.
This report, which covers the 2015 calendar year, was drafted in
accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Core
guidelines and incorporates the Ten Principles of the UN
Global Compact. For the fifth consecutive year, the report includes
external assurance of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
