Zscaler has announced that across its entire data center portfolio (150 data centers), as well as its offices, it has achieved 100% renewable energy. This has been accomplished by directly purchased renewable energy and renewable energy credits (RECs) from wind and solar farms.

Looking forward, the company says that it intends to procure 100% renewable energy for its portfolio annually. Moreover, its ESG program also targets Scope 3 emissions, and it is developing "a path to net zero greenhouse gas emissions."

Commenting on its commitment to sustainability, Amit Sinha, president and CTO and member of the board, Zscaler, Inc., said: "We are passionate about creating meaningful change for our customers and our planet."

Adding: "Zscaler has a long track record of driving technology innovation via the cloud which now uses 100% renewable energy. With the steps that we took today, Zscaler supports our customers' goals of adopting Zero Trust security and eliminating the carbon emissions associated with the energy used for their security program. We will continue to enhance the efficiency of our architecture and infrastructure to do our part in addressing climate change."
