Emissions reduction targets

As a multinational corporation, we strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and contribute to global carbon reduction through our virtual product offerings. We began our sustainability practice in 2019 and are continually evolving our strategy and efforts. 2022 was the first year where we have started to measure our UK operation's carbon emissions in line with PPN 06_21.

We are creating a carbon reduction plan that articulates our approach to environmental stewardship for our global operations. Where RingCentral doesn’t have operational control, such as with remote data centres or suppliers, we encourage our partners to adopt similar commitments.

In order to continue our progress toward achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets.

We project that carbon emissions will decrease over five years (from January 2023) to 31.79 tCO2e by 2027. This is a reduction of 9%.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

RingCentral's sustainability practices include providing van pools, electric car charging stations, shuttles to our office from mass transit hubs, flexible work weeks, composting, recycling, and sustainable energy practices such as LED lights and motion sensors. We also have an environmentally focused employee resource group that organizes employee education sessions and volunteer events and encourages sustainable practices at the office and at home.

RingCentral is continuing to gather information about all its sustainability practices in order to finalize a comprehensive forward-looking sustainability plan, which we expect to complete in the near future.
