Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

● Sustainable growth for VMware’s business requires decoupling our company growth from carbon emissions. To this end, we’ve accelerated our focus on decarbonization and received third-party validation from the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) on our science-based targets. Since 2018, we have maintained our certified CarbonNeutral® company status, in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol. Since 2019, we have sourced 100 percent of our power in our global facilities from renewable sources, in accordance with RE100 Reporting Guidance. ● VMware’s net zero emissions goal builds on approved science-based targets and expands the scope of our climate commitments. For us, a net zero goal means reducing emissions for our entire carbon footprint. We are focused on prioritizing energy efficiency within our operations through our commitment to green buildings, working with our suppliers to reduce their emissions, and supporting distributed workforces through our Future of Work initiative. Through carbon financing, we support low carbon sustainable development projects that enable carbon avoidance to offset our remaining emissions. In line with the leading net zero guidance, we are developing our strategy to include carbon removal projects to address residual emissions. ● In FY22, we furthered climate transition planning at VMware, guided by Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. As VMware continues to learn more about climate risks, we can build longer time horizon risks into our strategy to become even more sustainable and resilient.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

● Decisive action by VMware during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a company-wide remote workforce, which our customers were able to implement as well through VMware’s Workspace solutions. ● Through VMware’s unique Citizen Philanthropy approach to giving, we empower every VMware employee—wherever they are—to be active, engaged citizens, contributing to what matters most to them in their own communities. Throughout the pandemic, VMware people delivered food to neighbors in need, made masks and donated resources to frontline workers and relief efforts, and helped nonprofit organizations strengthen their IT operations so they can focus on supporting their communities. VMware also supported GlobalGiving’s Coronavirus Relief Fund and TechSoup’s COVID-19 Response Fund, and raised the limit on matching gifts available to all VMware people.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

● VMware IT Academy partners directly with more than 2,500 educational institutions, governments and nonprofits globally to empower learners through coursework, labs and experiences. To enrich learning and help jump-start careers, our partner academic institutions can also access the latest suite of VMware software solutions and use them in a hands-on educational environment. VMware IT Academy is key to our 2030 goal of upskilling 15 million people through our educational offerings and creates a pipeline of diverse talent that is available to advance companies’ digital journeys and deploy VMware solutions. ● VMware donates our technology to academic institutions, enabling learners with access to technical training and labs across technology solutions and companies through Academic Cloud. ● VMware IT Academy partners with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for their Cybersecurity Bootcamp, an immersive, 15-week hands-on training course to reskill or upskill unemployed individuals, including minorities and veterans. ● VMinclusion Taara offers free technical education on VMware products & technology that enable digital business transformation, addressing the gender gap in the Indian IT sector and empowering women with financial and social independence. ● VMware Responsible Sourcing supports sustainability, diversity and accessibility across our supply chain. VMware has committed to working with 75% of our suppliers (by spend) to set their own science-based targets by the end of 2024. We are also prioritizing the sourcing of goods and services through diverse businesses and have committed to spending $1.5B with diverse suppliers through 2030. Our definition of diverse supplier includes: small-business enterprises, minority-owned enterprises, woman-owned enterprises, and businesses owned by other underrepresented groups such as LGBTQ, veterans, and proprietors with disabilities.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

● VMware joined the Valuable 500, a global business collective that is igniting systemic change and unlocking the business, social and economic value of more than 1 billion people with disabilities around the world. From ensuring the technology we develop is accessible for all to empowering our employees through accessible, inclusive and innovative engagement and wellbeing programs, our company remains committed to driving meaningful impact on disability, wellness and neurodiversity inclusion. ● As a leading software company, user accessibility is top of mind at VMware. One of our ESG goals by 2030 is to ensure the technology that we develop, and source within our supply chain, is accessible for all. We created internal Accessibility Guidelines within VMware and committed to assess all new software and events suppliers for accessibility standards aligned with our own guidelines. ● Employee Resource Groups at VMware are called Power of Difference communities (“PODs”), and they play a strategic role in building a culture of belonging. We are focused on driving a culture that is inclusive of all forms of diversity, including supporting employees with disabilities. In 2021, VMware was named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion by the Disability Equality Index (DEI).
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

● At VMware, we enrich lives at work, at home and in the community, because we believe that empowering our people to bring their authentic selves to work drives business excellence and enables us to achieve our business goals. We prioritize employee wellbeing and work hard to foster a culture that is ethical and respectful, kind and compassionate, which is defined by our EPIC2 values—Execution, Passion, Integrity, Customers and Community. ● Employee wellbeing at VMware is a top priority as we believe people are the key to our success, and we are always striving to make it easier for employees to pursue wellbeing on their own terms, which will also help them perform well at work. We recognize that VMware has a responsibility to help support our employees manage the added complexities of their work and family situations since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our wellbeing benefits include: four supplemental days off (our “EPIC2” days), life coaching and emotional support, work-life services for employees and their families, and a wellbeing allowance.
