This week Oracle was named a winner of the SEAL Sustainable Product Award for 2022.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was honored for making clear progress on its ambitious sustainability goals which are to reduce not only its own carbon liability and impact on the planet but that of its partners and customers.
Since OCI’s inception, Oracle committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations by cutting waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Use of OCI services also helps customers achieve their own sustainability, climate, and net-zero emissions goals.
As evidenced by this award, these efforts are paying off. One hundred percent of the energy used by OCI data centers In Europe is renewable and OCI customers in that region have cut as much as 40% to 50% of their C02 emissions and power costs.
Oracle also factors energy efficiency, recyclability, and material conservation into the design of the hardware powering OCI. In fact, last year, OCI recycled 99.9 percent of its retired hardware.
SEAL’s recognition is just the latest indication of Oracle’s progress on the ESG front. Just weeks ago, Jon Chorley, Oracle’s chief sustainability officer, was named to the 2022 Environment+Energy Leader 50. The annual E+E 50 recognizes those who blaze trails with programs, practices, and services that improve the sustainability and energy management of businesses.
Chorley has been active in highlighting the need for companies to streamline their supply chains, which have an outsized impact not only on their environmental impact but their operating costs.
This work is ongoing. With partners and customers, Oracle is committed to building more resilient and environmentally sustainable businesses, and thus a better world.
