Fighting climate change

" At Mimecast, we are committed to environmental resilience and have taken significant steps to reduce and offset our collective footprint.

We've installed solar arrays at multiple office locations, use 100% renewable energy to power many of our data centers and offices, and eliminated all single-use paper and plastic in our office kitchens. We've also created incentives for green commuting such as efficient vehicle charging stations and parking.

Starting in 2021, Mimecast conduced a full materiality assessment and procured renewable energy credits to offset our entire operational footprint (Scope 1 & 2 emissions) with third-party certified renewable energy certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets. As part of our offset efforts, Mimecast has invested in RECs and offsets associated with a reforestation project in Uchindile and Mapanda, Tanzania. By supporting the replanting of these forests that were decimated by wildfires, Mimecast is committed to offsetting its carbon footprint while helping to restore a vital ecosystem in the southern portion of Tanzania.

We recognize that we can't solve our planet's problems alone, but we can and will do our part while setting an example for others.

Tackling economic inequality

"Mimecast is committed to supporting the communities in which we work and live. Through corporate donations, employee gift matching, and volunteerism, we strive to expand our impact alongside our business. Community resilience strengthens our own resilience, and we look forward to embedding citizenship further into our business processes. Our charitable partnerships align with two key areas of focus for Mimecast: Workforce development for underrepresented communities and the resilience of underserved communities. We are proud of the multi-year nature of many of our partnerships as we deepen our community impact.

Equal opportunity

"As a global company, we believe our success rests in the diverse nature of our business and our ability to connect with our employees, customers, and clients from all walks of life. We believe our ability to scale and grow relies in part on our efforts to attract and retain diverse talent. Since launching our DEI strategy in FY2022, we have invested in efforts to address representation opportunities across our workforce to better reflect our local communities, with a focus on increasing the representation of Women and People of Color (PoC) in our employee base. Representation targets were established, and we continue to measure progress toward these targets.

Under the remit of Mimecast’s employee relations lead, employee policies are made easily accessible, undergo a regular review process, and are interpreted in a consistent manner. This is foundational to a comprehensive approach to effectively address workplace issues. Mimecast has positioned employee relations as a center of excellence available to management and employees.
