| Our Approach |
| CA Technologies environmental initiatives encompass our management of facilities and data centers, energy use, water and paper consumption, and supply chain. In addition, we seek to reduce environmental impacts related to our products and services through more sustainable distribution and packaging. We use our products and services to implement computing approaches that require less energy and data center real estate. These include virtualization, cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS). We are further shrinking our carbon footprint through our North American Flexible Workplace Program, which reduces our office real estate needs. Our investment in video conferencing technology reduces employee travel. We strive to have new constuctions obtain LEED certification and continue to implement green leases globally. Finally, we focus on reducing waste and maintain environmental standards throughout our supply chain. |
| Commitments |
- Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent by 2020, off of a base year of 2006
- Continue to screen our suppliers and explore the issue of measuring e-waste at the procurement stage
- Continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing renewable energy and using telepresence units
- Strengthen programs that minimize waste generation and water consumption
- Adopt green lease policy for all new and re-negotiated leases
- Expand virtual meeting technologies and encourage sustainable travel for our employees

| Organizational Responsibility |
CA Technologies process for identifying risk lies in its annual business planning as well as in the ongoing evaluation of its physical environment. The Sustainability Advisory Council, along with the Sustainability Program Management Office, identifies possible immediate and future impacts in order to put remediation plans in place. Planned events or possibilities are included in the budgeting cycle and unplanned events are handled on a priority basis. To the best of our ability, we prepare for all possible scenarios and have remediation actions ready to prevent or mediate any effect to the business. In addition, we have a corporate-wide global business continuity plan and system, which identifies key resources and requirements for each company site. Financial implications include additional costs to mitigate risk and costs associated with possible business impediments caused by climate change.
Our Global Facilities team reviews information about our resource consumption and manages the internal and external factors that influence our environmental performance. The group produces a report based on the company’s performance with respect to the environmental indicators mentioned above and coordinates with other divisions at CA Technologies, including Global Procurement, to extend our relevant policies to the supply chain. |
| Monitoring and Follow Up |
In measuring our resource consumption, Global Facilities uses CA Energy and Sustainability Management solutions. Our internally developed tool provides a method and process for capturing our environmental data in real time.
Global Procurement screens suppliers and vendors through requests for proposals and ensures that they comply with our environmental policies.

Total water withdrawal by source. |
Partially |
Most of our facilities are located in multi-tenant properties over which we cannot exercise complete control. For our Islandia office, we estimate that we used approximately 26.7 million gallons of water in 2012. While we do not currently report on our global water withdrawal, which we view as immaterial to our business as our operations are not water-intensive, we plan to expand the measurement of our consumption in other offices. |
| EN9 |
Water sources significantly affected by withdrawal of water. |
Fully |
Due to the nature of our business, we have not identified any significant water withdrawals made by our facilities. |
| EN10 |
Percentage and total volume of water recycled and reused. |
Fully |
See EN9; We do not reuse or recycle water because we don't have operations that make significant water withdrawals. However, in our Hyderabad, India facility we capture rainwater and recycle gray water for landscaping purposes. |
