23 Janvier 2024 - 7:35PM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading
end-to-end hybrid, multicloud technology solutions company, today
announced the company's Sustainability Report, highlighting
progress made in the 2023 fiscal year towards its social and
environmental sustainability goals.
"As we move into 2024, Rackspace Technology remains steadfast in
the company's commitment to sustainability principles, which
reflect a tapestry of achievements — from advancing sustainable
technology partnerships to empowering the company's workforce and
making impactful community contributions," said Amar Maletira, CEO,
Rackspace Technology. "Each endeavor is a stepping-stone to a more
responsible and innovative future. We remain dedicated to our path
towards a more sustainable, equitable, and technologically advanced
world as we continue to embrace these challenges and
opportunities."
Rackspace Technology's social and environmental sustainability
goal highlights include the following milestones:
New Sustainability Leadership RoleIn 2023,
Srini Koushik was promoted to President AI, Technology, and
Sustainability. The leadership role aligns with the company's
vision of delivering the future for customers. Koushik's passion
for the sustainability mission and his strategic insight make him
the ideal leader to guide Rackspace Technology to the following
levels of innovation and sustainability. Working alongside
Rackspace Technology's key functional leaders, Srini drives
initiatives, merging innovation with sustainability in a vision
that is both progressive and responsible, embodying the belief in
the synergy between technological progress and environmental
stewardship.
Rackspace Technology Recent Sustainability Industry
RecognitionRackspace Technology's integration of
sustainability principles into every aspect of operations has
garnered notable recognition within the technology industry and
underscored the company's commitment to sustainability and
innovation. The awards include AWS North America Sustainability
Partner of the Year. This prestigious award underlines Rackspace
Technology's unwavering commitment to sustainability goals and
SustainableIT.org's announcing Koushik as Honoree of the Inaugural
Impact Awards for Technology Contributions to Sustainability
Initiatives and Sustainability Business Awards.
"Our sustainability work is an important part of our strategy,
and the achievements in this year's report represent our ongoing
commitment to principles and values," said Srini Koushik President
AI, Technology, and Sustainability, Rackspace Technology.
"Dedication to sustainability principles extends beyond corporate
responsibility; it reflects our unwavering commitment to fostering
a sustainable, equitable, and innovative future."
Reducing Carbon FootprintRackspace Technology's
former LEED Gold-certified headquarters stood as a testament to the
company's innovative spirit and cultural richness. The expansive
1.2 million-square-foot facility — a creative transformation of a
former mall — symbolized the company's dedication to reinventing
and redeveloping urban areas.
In a significant shift, in 2024, Rackspace Technology will
transition to Rackspace Technology's new headquarters, a modern
office space tailored to current needs and future aspirations. This
move transcends a mere change of location; it mirrors the evolution
of the company's business model toward greater efficiency and
sustainability. By downsizing the company's physical footprint, the
company is making a conscious decision to reduce the company's
environmental impact while adapting to the changing business
landscape.
The new space is designed to fit the company's current workforce
while allowing for future expansions and a substantial reduction in
the company's carbon footprint. In 2022, the Rackspace Technology
headquarters emitted 7,492 tons of CO2 (Scope 1&2). In
contrast, Rackspace Technology's new headquarters is projected to
emit just 1,485 tons of CO2 in 2024 (Scope 1&2 estimated),
achieving a CO2 savings of 6,007 fewer tons, or an 80% overall
reduction.
Customer EngagementAt the heart of Rackspace
Technology's customer-engagement strategy is a focus on continuous
improvement, from solution design and implementation through the
managed run phase. Rackspace Technology's holistic approach to
service delivery encompasses a range of services from ERP to CRM
and productivity tools to help ensure operational excellence backed
by 24x7x365 support from certified specialists.
Innovations like Rackspace Technology Elastic Engineering break
the inflexible barriers of traditional service models while
fostering agility and efficiency. Rackspace Technology's consulting
and advisory services guide clients in strategy development to help
maximize the effectiveness of their solutions. This dedication to
optimizing resource usage and enhancing client experiences
underscores the company's commitment to sustainable, efficient, and
responsible technological solutions.
Community InvolvementEach year, Rackspace
Technology designates corporate funds for paid volunteer time off,
encouraging Rackers (Rackspace Employees) to give back to the
communities in which they work. Last year, Rackers devoted over
21,000 hours (about two and a half years) to volunteering, and the
company's "Rack Gives Back" program raised over $160,000 for local
organizations. Alongside technical expertise in supporting
non-profits and mentoring the next generation of tech experts,
these contributions exemplify the company's culture of service and
compassion within the company and broader communities.
Rackspace Technology will continue to publish its Sustainability
Report annually, providing updates on its commitments and new
