VMware’s 2023 ESG Report Shows Purpose, Promise, and Innovation
Many companies claim to be sustainable, but they often fail to deliver on their promises. It is easy to talk, but hard to act. We want to see evidence, not just words. We want to see the impact, not just the intentions.
 
That is why VMware is committed to reporting our progress towards our 2030 Agenda every year. We share our stories, our innovations, and our data with our stakeholders so they can see how we are making a difference. I have previously explained how our ESG Team is part of the Office of the CTO and how this helps us drive our ESG strategy across the whole enterprise, creating what we call “Smart Impact” for ourselves and our stakeholders. This is the time of year when we showcase our impact in our 2023 ESG Report, and I am very proud of what we have achieved.
 
VMware’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Nicola Acutt, announced the publication of our 2023 ESG Report last week. I highly recommend you to read the full report, but here is a brief summary of our impact in the last year:
  • We launched the Green Score feature in VMware Aria Operations Cloud, which helps customers optimize their energy and carbon footprint in their cloud environments
  • We grew the VMware Zero Carbon Committed initiative by adding 24 more VMware Cloud Services Provider™ partners who are committed to renewable energy, reaching a total of more than 50 partners
  • We improved our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) representation with 33 percent of global hires self-identifying as a woman, and 16 percent of U.S. hires self-identifying as an underrepresented minority
  • We enhanced VMware Anywhere Workspace solutions with VMware Workspace ONE® Mobile Threat Defense™ to provide customers with added security for their distributed workforce
  • We achieved a 100 percent malware protection score with VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint™ Standard in an independent cybersecurity test by AV-Comparatives These are only some of the highlights of our impact. We know that there is still more work to do, and we are committed to being transparent and accountable. Every year, VMware shows that our ESG goals are not just empty words but a driving force behind actions and innovations.
Therefore, for those who want to see evidence of a company’s dedication to ESG, here are “the facts.” VMware’s 2023 ESG Report is a great example of how purpose, promise, and innovation can lead to concrete and meaningful outcomes. And as we explore new ways of ESG innovation, we invite customers, partners, and all stakeholders to join us on a journey toward a more sustainable, equitable, and secure future.
