We are on a journey of environmental sustainability, committed to improving our performance and reporting our progress. Our priorities are energy and climate change, material use and waste, and water. We focus on optimizing our operations, transforming IT to be more sustainable, and collaborating for an environmentally sustainable world.
EMC's Office of Sustainability is developing a unified environmental strategy, integrating it across our business, and building effective internal governance to support execution.
Taking action on climate change strengthens our business for the 21st century. We recognize our responsibility to address our impact, and our carbon disclosure reports are award-winning. We also collaborate to advance a sustainable global society.
We continually strive to reduce material use in our products and operations, recycle what cannot be re-used, and handle any waste with integrity and responsibility.
We engage our employees to advance our environmental sustainability journey. We collaborate with peers and governments to reduce the environmental impact of IT operations. And we work to advance IT for a prosperous low-carbon economy.
We continue to set our goals and report our progress in energy use and climate change, and material use and waste.
Although EMC has a relatively small operational water footprint, we take a conscientious approach to conserving this important global resource. In our owned and operated facilities, we minimize water consumption and control wastewater streams. Our manufacturing facilities produce no industrial wastewater.
