The company goes beyond cyber protection leadership
Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, has made public its 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report. The report delineates the company’s strides and accomplishments throughout the past year and outlines a roadmap for future positive influence.
This comprehensive report sums up Acronis’ performance in 2023 and underscores its commitment to effecting meaningful change globally.
The 2023 report offers profound insight into Acronis’ sustainable business practices, encompassing the outcomes of meticulous greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions scrutiny and extensive materiality evaluation.
These findings serve as the bedrock for further mitigating the company’s carbon footprint in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They pinpoint precise areas where Acronis is leaving an indelible mark.
Responsible practices
Acronis has long championed responsible practices to curtail its ecological footprint.
Yet, its impact transcends mere environmental stewardship. The company engages with local communities, spearheading volunteer environmental and educational initiatives.
Notably, Acronis extends its benevolent arm to underserved communities, erecting schools and furnishing computer labs, thereby uplifting society.
Moreover, Acronis extends its environmental and educational initiatives to its partners, aiding them in developing their own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes through collaborative endeavours and the newly launched CSR in a Box.
Acronis’ partners can mitigate their carbon footprint by integrating Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud into their operations, streamlining cybersecurity solutions for comprehensive protection.
Ezequiel Steiner, CEO of Acronis, said: “As we endeavour to become a more sustainable enterprise, our odyssey entails perpetually expanding our horizons, unveiling fresh vistas, and comprehending the interplay between our actions and the wider world.
