Corporate responsibility Overview At Rackspace Technology®, we focus on empowering companies around the world to grow using technology. At the same time, we’re committed to operating responsibly for today and tomorrow. This means taking a proactive approach to supporting environmental sustainability, operating with ethics and integrity, and helping to ensure that our suppliers do the same. Each year, we report on our progress with our annual Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Report. What we do Sustainability Environmental leadership Our environmental strategy is simple: We aspire to give more than we take from our planet and support innovative technologies that change the energy industry for the better. We do this through renewable energy, conservation and advocacy, as detailed in our Global Energy Policy. Committed to conservation and reduction of overall energy consumption In 2019, we evaluated our energy strategy and opted to focus Rackspace Technology™ resources and efforts on energy reduction activities and projects as opposed to our previous strategy of purchasing carbon offsets. We have continued to purchase 100% REGO (Renewable Energy Guarantees Origin) backed energy to cover our consumption in our Slough data center and our London HQ. We have invested in and are deploying smart building automation systems in five locations globally, including two corporate offices (San Antonio, TX and London, England) and three data centers (London, New Jersey and Kansas City). These systems will drive reduced energy consumption in each of these locations. Some of our biggest energy-saving initiatives include open air free cooling and the ability to manage light, heat and cooling zones based on operational demand. Measuring our greenhouse emissions We have prepared a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory (scope 1, 2, partial 3) every year since 2008 for all of our operations worldwide. Having a better understanding of our footprint allows us to identify high-impact efficiency projects that help us to conserve resources and benchmark. For example, we use specialized air filters in our London office, reducing CO2e by 2,000kgs per year. We also participate in the Climate Change Agreement (CCA), which is a UK voluntary scheme for energy intensive industries, and we have responded to the CDP Climate Change survey since 2011. Minimize waste Conservation of our planet’s natural capital comes in many forms, from responsibly disposing of data center assets to providing sustainable materials within our workspaces. We’ve found creative ways to minimize waste on our campuses, such as composting coffee grounds and shipping pallets, refurbishing retired IT equipment for aftermarket use, and collecting HVAC condensate to maintain landscaping and operate cooling towers.
