In recognition of the imperative of climate action and the important role businesses must play, climate was identified as one of Okta’s most relevant ESG issues during an ESG materiality assessment. Okta’s sustainability strategy is focused on increasing transparency and action on climate change to protect people and the planet while driving long-term value for Okta’s business and stakeholders. Okta is also committed to working collaboratively with our partners and supporting climate equity.
As a global business, we are committed to acting responsibly to minimize our impact on the environment of our operations through responsible use of natural resources, increasing energy efficiency in our real estate portfolio, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizing waste to enable us to maintain and promote environmental integrity for future generations. As a leading independent identity partner, our approach to environmental stewardship focuses on key areas that are most relevant to our business, such as green building certifications for our direct lease offices and engaging our vendors as the majority of our emissions are from our value chain. As a software company, we do not manufacture physical products; we lease our office spaces and use third party cloud service providers.
