Pure issued its first Environmental, Social,
and Governance (ESG) report, which offers transparency into company
benchmarks and sets goals for the future
MOUNTAIN
VIEW, Calif., March 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the
IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage
technology and services, today issued its inaugural ESG report,
which provides visibility into the company's current metrics and
sets commitments for making meaningful progress toward a better
future for the global community.
"Pure makes a significant and immediate impact today by reducing
data center carbon emissions worldwide through our environmental
sustainability efforts," said Charles
Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO, Pure Storage. "Pure's products
positively impact our customers' environmental footprint by
requiring substantially less power, space, and cooling and by
producing less waste than disk-based or competitive all-flash
systems."
Building a sustainable technology infrastructure is necessary to
mitigate global warming and the worst impacts of climate change.
Pure is leading the way by designing and building products and
delivering services that allow customers to dramatically decrease
their own environmental footprints. As part of this ESG report,
Pure conducted a product life cycle assessment (LCA) of its
portfolio, specifically the FlashArray products, which found that
Pure customers achieve up to 80% reduction in direct carbon usage
by data systems compared to competitive products.
Expanding on the energy and emissions savings that Pure brings
its customers, Pure's unique EvergreenTM architecture
and Pure as-a-ServiceTM subscription deliver further
environmental benefits by significantly minimizing e-waste,
extending the service lifetimes of equipment, and reducing
underutilization of storage. As a result of these programs, 97% of
Pure arrays purchased six years ago are still in service.
Beyond helping customers become more sustainable, Pure is proud
to commit to several goals to reduce the company's own carbon
footprint, making progress against Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions,
focused both on company operations and the use phase of Pure
products:
- 50% intensity reduction in market-based Scope 1 and 2
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per employee from FY20 to FY30
- Achieve net zero market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions by
FY40
- 66% intensity reduction in use of sold products from Scope 3
emissions per effective petabyte shipped from FY20 to FY30
