ENVIRONMENT
|
| Work with The Climate Registry to finalize emissions targets by May 2011 |
We discontinued our relationship with The Climate Registry and began working with PwC to establish our carbon reduction goal. In line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, we have restated our 2006 emissions to reflect improved calculation methodologies and data management systems. |
We will measure not only Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, but also Scope 3, which covers business travel and waste generated in operations. Our target is to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 35% by 2020, off of a base year of 2006. |
| Move toward goal of 100% electronic distribution of software with no packaging or shipping of products |
All but two of our software products are available as electronic downloads; this has allowed us to achieve an 85-90% electronic distribution rate. |
Some customers—such as government agencies—require physical delivery of software products; therefore we modified our goal to reach 95% or higher electronic distribution by 2013. |
| Issue supplier questionnaire to establish baseline reporting and encourage key suppliers to publish a sustainability report by 2012 |
We expanded our questionnaire to key suppliers to include sustainability policies, initiatives and goals. Our Hiperos program is a solution that helps CA Technologies manage targeted suppliers around reputational risk, regulatory penalties and customer impact. |
We will use 2011 as a benchmark for our suppliers, and will collaborate with them in 2012 to develop more sustainable solutions. We’re exploring the issue of measuring e-waste at the procurement stage. |
| Reduce electricity consumption per employee to 40% below 2006 levels by 2013 |
We’re on track to meet our goal of reducing electricity consumption per employee. We consumed 100,214 GJ of renewable energy in 2011, representing 22% of total electricity purchased from renewable sources. |
We have metered electricity data for 58 facilities and will expand the measurement of our consumption in other offices.
|
| Purchase 25% of electricity from renewable sources by 2015 |
| Reduce solid waste to landfill from our facilities |
Currently, we have metered waste data for four facilities. In Sydney, a recycling audit revealed that 85 to 90% of all disposed materials are reused or recycled. At CA World held in 2011, we achieved an 80% recycling rate. |
We will use 2012 as a benchmark and establish measurement reduction processes in our global facilities. We have also moved to a new waste management company at one of our locations from which we will develop effective guidelines for the rest of our facilities. |
| Implement water management program |
Some of our facilities are located in multi-tenant properties over which we can’t exercise complete control. For our Islandia office, we estimate that we used approximately 28 million gallons of water in 2011. All of our data centers have a closed-loop water system and therefore use minimal water. In addition, we reclaim 100% of rainwater at our Hyderabad, India facility and use for our landscaping needs. |
While our operations are not water-intensive, we have metered water data for 12 facilities and will the expand the measurement of our consumption in other offices. |
| Increase telepresence to reduce travel; expand use of hybrid vehicles, etc., for more sustainable travel |
Partnering with PlanetTran and other green vendors, we introduced a travel policy that encourages the use of eco-friendly hybrid vehicles, ride sharing, video conferencing, and other measures. |
We will expand the use of virtual-meeting technologies, and track the impact, and further promote sustainable travel. Our GHG measurement process has also expanded to include travel emissions in our future reporting. |
| Adopt a green lease policy for all new and renegotiated leases this year |
We adopted a green lease policy in 2011 and have entered into green leases in Herndon, VA in 2011, and in Scottsdale, AZ; Ft. Collins, CO; Lisle, IL; Portsmouth, NH; and Plano, TX in 2012. We now have 297,950 square feet of office space under green leases. |
We will continue to implement green leases globally. In addition, our recently opened executive briefing center in Manhattan was built to LEED-CI standards: http://www.ca.com/us/about-us/Executive-Briefing-Center.aspx |
|
GOVERNANCE
|
| Use third party to audit future sustainability reports, including assurance of processes, methodologies and data |
Our GHG emissions data in this report is independently verified by KPMG. |
We will continue to engage with a third party to independently review our emissions. |
| Increase Board involvement in sustainability initiatives |
We created a Sustainability Advisory Council at the senior executive level of the company, and we now have Board oversight of the program. |
We will continue to communicate on a regular basis with our Board to identify possible immediate and future impacts and evaluate the implementation of sustainability goals. |
| Work with Ceres to develop a broad stakeholder engagement program this year |
Together with Ceres, we identified material issues and developed a broad dialogue with stakeholders. |
We will assess the key topics and issues raised in our external stakeholder meeting and map these against our business imperatives. |
| Institute a corporate sustainability policy this year |
We instituted this policy, which can be viewed at: http://www.ca.com/us/about-us/corporate-citizenship/Corporate-Policies.aspx#Environmental-Responsibility |
We will continually evaluate our policy based on our materiality assessment and engagement with different stakeholders. |
|
EMPLOYEES
|
| Expand the pool of diverse candidates for all management-level openings by the end of this year |
Currently, our female representation is 8% at the executive management level. |
We have an initiative to increase the diversity of our workforce significantly during the next three years, particularly in management and various departments within the company. |
| Maintain at least 75% employee satisfaction rate in annual survey |
While our Employee Opinion Survey is being redesigned to make it more actionable and aligned to CA Technologies culture, more than 70% of our Culture Index Survey respondents indicated that CA Technologies is a great place to work and 75% said that they're happy in this organization. |
The next Employee Opinion Survey is scheduled to be conducted in June 2012 and results are expected to be released in August 2012. |
| Issue an employee sustainability pledge this year and achieve 30% participation |
We have not reached our goal. To provide a more dynamic and engaging site for employees, we are leveraging Practically Green's SaaS application, which utilizes gamification and social media and calculates GHG emissions associated with actions. |
We will conduct more activities globally to encourage employees to become active participants and commit to actions. |
| Initiate a company-wide sustainability training program this year |
Several CA Technologies employees participated in our training session, and our educational modules and videos on OneCA had approximately 3,000 visits. |
We will develop a new Sustainability 101 course and target a participation rate of 30% of our workforce to attend our annual sustainability training sessions. |
| Establish Green Teams globally this year |
We conducted three pilots in Paris, Sydney and Framingham. We now have 16 Green Teams at locations that represent more than half of our employees worldwide. |
We will continue to roll out Green Teams globally and strive to have all 130 CA Technologies offices embrace the program. |
|
COMMUNITY
|
| More closely integrate community/ philanthropic involvement with sustainability initiatives |
We continued to support all areas of education and technology. In partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs of America, we launched Tech Girls Rock. We also initiated a new focus area—the environment—showcasing CA Technologies commitment to its own sustainability while engaging individuals and organizations about ways to create a healthy and sustainable environment. |
We will continue to build science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education initiatives to develop future leaders of tomorrow, and build on our new area of focus, the environment. |
| Increase employee volunteerism |
More than 2,500 employees gave over 10,000 hours in community service in 2011. |
Through our engagement tools and activites, we will continue to enhance awareness of our initiatives and foster involvement with nonprofit partnerships and programs. |
| Increase corporate giving outside the U.S. |
We contributed more than $4.4 million a year and approximately $500,000 in software and services to nonprofit organizations, increasing our giving outside the U.S. |
We aim to further expand international partnerships and increase our Community Affairs budget to $7 million, which will include matching gifts, program administration and grants in North America, EMEA, APJ, and Latin America. |
