How We’re Meeting Global Challenges
As global challenges like climate change and resource depletion intensify, companies have a unique opportunity—and obligation—to lead by example in reducing environmental impact. By actively working to minimize our carbon footprint, reduce our reliance on physical spaces, and shift to digital materials, we not only contribute to the well-being of the planet but also enhance our operational efficiency and resilience. These actions help us adapt to changing market demands, reduce costs, and mitigate risks associated with environmental regulations and resource scarcity.
For us, it’s about setting a standard, inspiring others to act, and ensuring that we leave a positive legacy for generations to come. Here’s how we plan to continue to reduce our environmental impact:
01.
Minimize Our Carbon Emissions
- We reduce employee commuting through our use of virtual offices, hybrid approach to remote and in-office work, and maximizing technology for virtual meetings.
- We completed our inaugural GHG emissions inventory for fiscal 2024 and committed to set near-term targets in line with the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
02.
Decrease Our Global Real Estate Footprint
- We reduced our global real estate footprint by over 30,000 square feet during fiscal 2024 by creating designated virtual offices, utilizing shared workspaces, and expanding our use of technology to allow more employees to work virtually.
-
Cumulatively since fiscal 2021, we have reduced our global real estate footprint by over 196,000 square feet.
-
We plan to reduce our physical footprint by an additional 55,000 square feet in fiscal 2025 (including by reducing our square footage from the sale of our Irvine office building).
03.
Reduce Our Reliance on Print Materials
- Starting in 2022, we distribute our proxy statement and annual report digitally.
- Nearly all client invoices are processed via electronic billing.
- We deployed electronic pay stubs for all US employees.
- We reduced print-based marketing materials in favor of digital assets.
