MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — The data storage company Pure Storage is sharing its inaugural report on its corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
Pure Storage’s 2021 “ESG Report” is intended to provide visibility into the company’s metrics and commitments to make “meaningful progress toward a better future for the global community,” according to the company last week.
Pure Storage believes that building a sustainable technology infrastructure is necessary to “mitigate global warming and the worst impacts of climate change.”
The company says it is designing and building products and delivering services that allow customers to “decrease their own environmental footprints.”
As part of the “ESG Report,” Pure conducted a product life cycle assessment (LCA) of its portfolio, specifically its FlashArray products. The assessment found that the company’s customers achieve up to 80% reduction in “direct carbon usage by data systems compared to competitive products.”
Pure’s Evergreen on-premises storage subscription model and Pure as-a-Service cloud subscription model are designed to minimize e-waste, extend the service lifetimes of equipment, and reduce storage underutilization. Due in part to these programs, 97% of Pure flash storage arrays purchased six years ago are still in service.
The “ESG Report” also shows several of Pure’s goals to reduce its “own carbon footprint,” through company operations and the use phase of Pure products:
“Pure makes a significant and immediate impact today by reducing data center 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.”
The full “ESG Report” by Pure is available online.
