SUSTAINABILITY
We’re committed to creating a sustainable future, together
At Workday, 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
Protect the planet
As a leading provider of enterprise cloud applications, 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 more sustainable future.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
We’re taking action against climate change
Workday has set science-based emissions reduction targets that are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels. We’re aligning our sustainability journey with the transition to a net-zero future.
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.
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 – a natural climate solution.
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.
OUR EFFORTS
How we do 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-ever small aggregation clean energy deal.
