Environmental Commitment
Given VTEX's activity as a software provider, and following the SASB methodology (Internet Media & Services guide of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) in the Environmental footprint of hardware infrastructure, we decided to integrate environmental considerations into the strategic planning for data centers. As we believe in a prosperous, environmentally conscious future, we selected AWS as our main provider, offsetting 100% the emissions generated by our servers, which is the most relevant environmental impact that VTEX generates through its operations.
Concerning the environmental impact of VTEX’s workforce, as the company embraces the hybrid working format, which diminishes significantly any other impact as transportation and office related emissions. In our offices, which are 100% outsourced, we follow the sustainability guidelines of the buildings. We use faucets with automatic shut-off, in addition to ecological flushes, lights with energy-saving technology.
It is also important to notice that as we are a technology company, we don’t generate any production waste. In all our offices, we have recyclable bins for employees to separate any waste generated in their day to day, so we ensure to recycle any applicable materials.
For the time being, we are not stipulating any target on low materiality emissions, nevertheless we look forward to continuing advancing on this endeavor.
