SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company
focused on reinventing business through innovative technology
solutions, announced today that it became carbon neutral as a
new step in its commitment to become a net-zero company. Globant
started its Net-Zero Roadmap in 2020 when it moved to 100%
renewable electricity buying renewable energy certificates that
ensured the use of renewable sources in all its operations.
"At Globant we have always been aware of our environmental
footprint and reaching carbon neutrality is another important step
in our Race to Zero journey," said Martín Migoya, CEO
and Co-founder of Globant. "Our efforts to
become a net-zero company are aligned to our purpose of making the
world a better place, one step at a time and being part of the
solution."
In 2021, Globant signed the Science-Based Targets (SBT) Business
Ambition for 1.5°C commitment letter joining the Race to Zero
global movement, devoted to taking rigorous and immediate action on
the company's business related emissions. Globant, with offices in
18 countries and more than 20,000 globers, has started to work on a
global decarbonization action plan. Reducing its energy
consumption, ensuring the provision of renewable sources of
electricity and greening the commuting of globers are only some of
its ongoing initiatives to meet its responsibilities towards
achieving a zero carbon world.
As a leading technology solutions provider, Globant also works
with its global client portfolio to offer them more sustainable
strategies. By the end of 2020, the company launched its own
Sustainability Studio leveraging the intersection between business,
technology and sustainability to help companies reduce their
emissions ahead of the 2030 deadline of achieving a 50 percent
reduction in global emissions.
To raise awareness inside of the organization and make the
carbon neutral milestone a shared achievement, Globant invited all
globers worldwide to be part of the global commitment and
choose among the following offsetting projects they want to
compensate their own working carbon footprint: Bajo Calima y Bahía
Málaga (Colombia), Brazil Nut
(Peru), Kootznoowoo (US,
Alaska), GreenTech (Romania), and Wind Power Project
(India).
"Since our race to zero emissions started, we have always
conceived the initiative as a team effort to transform our company
into a net-positive environmental agent", said Francisco
Michref, Government Affairs & Sustainability Director at
Globant "Achieving carbon neutrality is a very significant
milestone for Globant, but this is just the beginning. Neutrality
itself shall be accompanied by long-term science based targets to
gradually achieve an enhanced model for decarbonization. "
The Be Kind to the Planet initiative has long been committed to
making the world a better place and transforming people's lives by
reducing emissions and leading the way towards a better world for
this generation and future ones.
