Pure Storage®, the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technology and services, 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 centre 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.”
To prevent global warming and the worst effects of climate change, building a sustainable technology infrastructure is vital. Pure is paving the way by inventing and manufacturing goods and providing services that enable clients to considerably reduce their own environmental footprints. Pure undertook a product life cycle evaluation (LCA) of its portfolio, specifically the FlashArray products, as part of this ESG study, and discovered that Pure clients save up to 80% on direct carbon usage by data systems when compared to rival goods.
Pure's innovative Evergreen design and Pure as-a-Service subscription give further environmental benefits by drastically decreasing e-waste, extending the service lifetimes of equipment, and eliminating underutilised storage. Because of these initiatives, 97% of Pure arrays acquired six years ago are still operational.
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 Scope 3 emissions per effective petabyte shipped from FY20 to FY30
