ServiceNow seeks to reduce gas emissions quickly

ServiceNow-the leading digital workflow company that allows people to work better-has announced its global commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, further advancing its vision of “Workflow makes the world a better place”; one A more sustainable, fairer, and more ethical approach.

ServiceNow previously set a goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Following Watershed’s third-party assessment in July 2021, ServiceNow determined that 93% of its carbon footprint came directly from its value chain (Scope 3) emissions.

By formulating science-based goals that focus on internal emission reduction plans and supplier participation plans, ServiceNow has set a timetable 20 years ahead of the Paris Agreement and set an ambitious goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 . In the next few weeks, ServiceNow will submit its targets for approval to the Science Targets Program (SBTi), which aims to define and promote best practices for science-based target setting and to independently evaluate the company’s emission reduction targets .

With this science-based commitment, ServiceNow has joined the “1.5°C Business Ambitions” global zero net zero campaign initiated by SBTi in cooperation with the United Nations Global Compact and the We Mean Business Alliance, and cooperated with United Nations agencies to take ambitious climate action, Business and industry leaders.

Gina Mastantuono, Chief Financial Officer of ServiceNow, said: “As ServiceNow becomes the decisive enterprise software company in the 21st century, we are firmly committed to the goal of creating a positive impact in the world. Zero emissions to make an impact and change the way the world works-this is a critical step in the right direction. “

ServiceNow’s latest commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions builds on the commitments made in early 2021. ServiceNow will continue to report progress in its annual global impact report.

ServiceNow will further commit to achieving its net zero goal across its entire value chain by 2030:

Set ambitious targets in direct operations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2). This is consistent with the science-based goal advocated by SBTi, and is considered necessary to achieve the Paris Agreement’s extended goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Decarbonize the supply chain (Scope 3). ServiceNow will begin to cooperate with its suppliers and support its sustainability journey through a comprehensive supplier participation model, which will be launched next year. ServiceNow will embed sustainability plans in its data center plans, such as supporting data center operations teams to become certified data center sustainability experts (CDCSP®). Obtaining this certification ensures that ServiceNow operators understand the steps required to support the long-term sustainability of the company’s data center.

In the initial cooperation with Everland, a combination method was used to finance high-quality carbon offsets (proven emission reductions). Everland represents the world’s largest portfolio of high-impact forest protection (REDD+) projects that protect wildlife and improve the well-being of forest communities, which are critical to addressing climate change and biodiversity crises. ServiceNow will support the Mai Ndombe REDD+ project, which protects 740,000 acres of important bonobo and forest elephant habitat in the Congo Basin.

As part of ServiceNow’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the planet, ServiceNow will donate US$1 million to non-profit organizations focused on tackling climate change and accelerating global decarbonization over the next two years.
