Sustainability isn’t a mere checkbox—it’s an integral part of our corporate DNA
We’re raising the bar for responsible
and ethical business practices
Flexera’s commitment to the environment and sustainability
While Flexera’s business doesn’t require the use of the things that typically have the greatest impact on the environment—such as shipping and packaging, hazardous chemicals, raw materials or operating manufacturing facilities—we’re committed as a responsible corporate citizen to making positive contributions to the planet wherever possible. Part of these efforts include measuring our carbon footprint and working toward becoming carbon neutral.
In that spirit, we’ve already taken steps to minimize our environmental impact by:
- Reducing our office footprint
- Embracing a remote-working culture, which reduces our average in-office days per person
- Conducting business travel only when necessary
- Employee Engagement
Our commitment to the environment and sustainability is not just a matter of compliance or reputation; it’s a fundamental part of who we are as a company. We empower our employees to contribute to our environmental efforts through education, advocacy, and volunteering opportunities. We believe that by embracing sustainability principles, we can create a better future for ourselves, our stakeholders and the world we share.
Our partners in our sustainability journey
Part of How We Roll includes keeping score and giving back. As a global company with global customers, we have a responsibility to measure, action, and improve our environmental impact. To ensure accountability, we partner with organizations committed to keeping us on track with the progress and impact of our sustainability initiatives.

Watershed: A sustainability program with an impact
As one of our key company-wide strategic initiatives, we’ve partnered with Watershed, an enterprise climate platform that allows companies to measure their full Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions, plan and execute on steps to reduce emissions, and share results. Watershed will help Flexera accelerate the fight against climate change by providing a comprehensive look at all our emissions, then providing analysis and recommendations to reduce those emissions. By measuring our Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions, we'll set a reliable baseline for future progress. This allows us to track and mitigate pollution while also monitoring and managing carbon emissions—ultimately, working toward achieving carbon neutrality and creating a resilient and sustainable ecosystem.
Flexera began measuring its carbon emissions in 2022 and has recently completed its 2023 measurement, which includes both Flexera and Snow Software emissions post Flexera’s acquisition of Snow Software. Flexera-specific emissions decreased by 8% from 2022 to 2023, and the combined Flexera/Snow total emissions for 2023 are:
Scope 1: 218 tCO2e
Scope 2: 1,351 tCO2e
Scope 3: 18,284 tCO2e

SBTi: Our promise for ambitious climate action
Flexera has sent a letter to SBTi pledging to work toward becoming carbon neutral. We’re participating in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) because we recognize the critical role businesses play in addressing climate change. By committing to set science-based targets aligned with the latest climate science, we are committing to do our part in limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. Through our involvement in SBTi, we’re not only demonstrating our commitment to environmental sustainability but also ensuring that our efforts are grounded in rigorous scientific principles. By committing to set targets and transparently tracking our progress, we’re driving meaningful action toward a more resilient and sustainable future for our planet and generations to come.
