VMware’s 2030 Agenda integrates 30
Environmental, Social and Governance goals into the business
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced its 2030 Agenda, a
decade-long commitment to address critical challenges facing the
global community. The Company created 30 measurable goals to
achieve by 2030 (30x30) that are focused on three outcomes relevant
to its technology and business operations: Trust, Equity and
Sustainability. The Company’s 2030 Agenda builds on VMware’s
long-standing commitment to innovate for a better future.
“This year has created an even greater sense of urgency to take
action on global and societal challenges so we’ve set bold goals
that are core to our business and will have significant impact,”
said Pat Gelsinger, chief executive officer, VMware, Inc. “In many
ways, digital transformation is the backbone to building a better
world. It not only creates a resilient global healthcare system,
but also helps us overcome the digital divide and decarbonizes the
planet. At VMware, we’re committed to building technology on a
foundation of digital ethics that serves all stakeholders. We will
work with our ecosystem to redefine what it means to be a force for
good.”
With its technology leadership and expansive global reach,
VMware is dedicated to driving tangible, measurable impact focused
on three outcomes: Trust, Equity and Sustainability.
- TRUST: VMware envisions a future where all stakeholders
are effectively safeguarded from cyberattacks threatening our
digital world. By approaching innovation from a foundation of
digital ethics and stewardship, and focusing on intrinsic security,
privacy-by-design and transparent business practices, VMware will
build and protect trust among our people, customers, partners,
shareholders and communities.
- EQUITY: VMware firmly believes that technology will play
a critical role in building a digital future that is equitable,
accessible and inclusive for all. From our diversity, equity and
inclusion commitments to our digital workspace technologies, we are
redefining the workplace of the future. VMware is enabling
distributed workforces to empower employees with equal opportunity,
inclusive leadership and increased flexibility within our company
and beyond. Through partnerships with academic institutions and
nonprofit partners, we will help close the digital skills gap and
make digital transformation more accessible for all.
- SUSTAINABILITY: Sustainability is core to VMware’s
values and future success. As a global corporate citizen, we have
an opportunity and responsibility to innovate for a more resilient
world by decarbonizing digital infrastructure across our customer
ecosystem, value chain and our own operations. Through our
collective efforts to drive net-zero emissions in our operations
and Intrinsic Sustainability in our solutions, VMware will inspire
the next generation of sustainable digital infrastructure.
“Our 2030 Agenda is transformative because our 30x30 goals are
owned by our business leaders and built into everything we do—from
the way we develop software and bring our solutions to market, to
the way we build a culture of inclusion—and in this way we are
aligning our core purpose with doing our part to create a more
sustainable, equitable and resilient world,” said Nicola Acutt,
Vice President, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). “To
demonstrate our commitment, we are setting up an ESG Office to
partner with our business leaders and help manage our
progress.”
Some examples within the VMware 2030 Agenda include:
- Protecting the world from cyberattacks by making security
intrinsic to digital infrastructure.
- Collaborating with our public cloud partners to achieve zero
carbon operations by 2030.
- Significantly increasing workload carbon efficiency in our
customer’s digital operations.
- Investing in transformative research that inspires the next
generation of sustainable digital infrastructure.
- Providing technical and durable digital skills acquisition to
more than 15 million individuals through VMware IT Academy and
other initiatives.
- Hiring one woman for every one man and ensuring 50 percent of
our managers are women or from an underrepresented community.
- Achieving net-zero carbon emissions for our operations and
supply chain and reduce our emissions 50 percent by 2030 from our
2018 baseline.
- Engaging 75 percent of suppliers by spend to reduce their
