Pure Storage® has released its first ESG report, which provides insight into the company’s current metrics and commits to making meaningful progress toward a better future for the global community.

“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 and by producing less waste than disk-based or competitive all-flash systems.”

To mitigate global warming and the worst effects of climate change, a sustainable technology infrastructure must be built. Pure is setting the standard by designing and building products and providing services that enable customers to significantly reduce their own environmental footprints. Pure conducted a product life cycle assessment (LCA) of its portfolio, specifically the FlashArray products, as part of this ESG report, and discovered that Pure customers achieve up to an 80% reduction in direct carbon usage by data systems when compared to competitive products.

In addition to the energy and emissions savings that Pure provides its customers, Pure’s unique EvergreenTM architecture and Pure as-a-ServiceTM subscription provide additional environmental benefits by significantly reducing e-waste, extending equipment service lifetimes, and reducing storage underutilization. As a result of these initiatives, 97 percent of Pure arrays purchased six years ago are still operational.

Pure is proud to commit to several goals to reduce the company’s own carbon footprint, making progress against Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions focused both on company operations and the use phase of Pure products:

  • 50% intensity reduction in market-based Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per employee from FY20 to FY30
  • Achieve net zero market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY40
  • 66% intensity reduction in use of sold products Scope 3 emissions per effective petabyte shipped from FY20 to FY30
