Latin America. Pure Storage issued its inaugural ESG report, which provides visibility into current company metrics and sets out commitments to make significant progress toward a better future for the global community.
"Pure has a significant and immediate impact today by reducing carbon emissions from data centers around the world through our environmental sustainability efforts," said Charles Giancarlo, president and CEO of Pure Storage. "Pure's products have a positive impact on our customers' environmental footprint by requiring substantially less power, space and cooling and by producing less waste than disk-based or competing all-flash systems.
It is necessary to build a sustainable technological infrastructure to mitigate global warming and the worst impacts of climate change. Pure is at the forefront by designing and building products and providing services that enable customers to drastically reduce their own environmental footprint.
As part of this ESG report, Pure conducted a product lifecycle assessment (LCA) of its portfolio, specifically FlashArray products, which found that Pure's customers achieve a reduction of up to 80% in direct carbon use by data systems compared to competing products.
By extending the energy and emissions savings That Pure provides to its customers, Pure's unique EvergreenTM architecture and Pure as-a-ServiceTM subscription deliver more environmental benefits by significantly minimizing e-waste, extending equipment life, and reducing storage underutilization. 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, progressing against Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions focused on both the company's operations and the use phase of Pure products:
50% reduction in market-based scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity per employee from FY20 to FY 30
Achieve net-zero market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions by fiscal year 2040
66% reduction in the intensity in the use of products sold Scope 3 emissions per petabyte cash sent from fiscal year 20 to fiscal year 30
