ASHBURN,
Va., June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - DXC
Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading Fortune 500 global
technology services provider, today announced its commitment to
achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
This reaffirms DXC's effort to make positive and meaningful
contributions to reduce the ongoing threat of climate change by
addressing its carbon footprint.
The commitment expands on DXC's near-term target to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions 65% by 2030 against its fiscal year 2019
baseline, which has been validated by the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi). DXC is part of SBTi's network of more than 5,000
global companies that have set emissions reduction targets through
the SBTi.
"We are strongly committed to renewable energy utilization,
energy efficiency actions and site consolidations to reduce our
carbon footprint as well as operating costs without disrupting
customer service operations," said Jim
Brady, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
at DXC Technology. "Additionally, our hybrid work location
business model empowers our global teams to work remotely,
significantly reducing our facility footprint and supporting our
commitment to lowering carbon emissions in the coming years."
Since 2019, DXC has reduced energy consumption by 44%, a result
of site consolidations and efficiency efforts, which contributed to
Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emission reductions of 58% over the
same time frame. Just over a third of energy used in DXC operations
is procured from renewable energy sources.
DXC has cut emissions significantly since 2019 and helped
customers do the same as part of its commitment to help make a
positive impact on sustainability for customers, the community, and
its colleagues.
