Net zero means taking responsibility for our entire carbon footprint. We extend that responsibility from the suppliers we work with to the solutions we build. We are committed to achieving absolute reductions and mitigating residual emissions with carbon avoidance and removal projects. VMware’s emission reduction goals validated by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) provide the foundation for our journey to net zero and include:

• Reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50 percent by 2030
• Reducing employee commute and fuel and energy-related emissions 50 percent by 2030
• Engaging 75 percent of our suppliers (by spend) to set their own science-based targets by 2025

Reducing our overall demand for electricity is an essential part of our net zero strategy. We source 100 percent of electricity in our global facilities and collocated data centers from renewable sources. 

• 100 percent renewable energy powered operations since 2019
• Signatory to RE100, a global collaborative representing businesses committed to using 100 percent renewable electricity in partnership with the Climate Group and CDP
• In partnership with the Clean Energy Buyers Association, we provide publicly available renewable energy strategy 101 training

VMware’s pioneering virtualization solutions have brought carbon avoidance benefits to our customers for the past two decades. Now we’re engineering new, sustainable multi-cloud solutions—decarbonizing the digital infrastructures of tomorrow along the path to net zero emissions.
