Our environmental priorities and actions
With 98% of our products delivered digitally, we focus our environmental work on measuring our greenhouse gas emissions, identifying opportunities to reduce them and taking practical action across our operations. We also support employees who choose to make energy-efficiency improvements in their homes.

Our environmental pillars
Our environmental strategy focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the impacts of our physical products, maintaining a sustainable supply chain and engaging employees and partners.
As a software-first company, Gen's Scope 1 and 2 emissions come primarily from the data centers that power our products and the offices where our people work. We actively manage both. For Scope 3, our focus areas include remote work emissions, employee travel, and the supply chain for our physical products. Our annual emissions are independently verified — see the FY26 Emissions Verification in our resources section.

In FY26, 98% of our products were delivered digitally. For the small fraction that ship physically, we've made real commitments: 79% of paper materials are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, and less than 0.5% of material in our physical products is plastic. We fund packaging recycling through in-country programs worldwide.
