CA Technologies Sustainability Report
In Sept. 2015, CA Technologies released its latest sustainability report, outlining how the company is furthering its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, according to a company press release; the report was drafted in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Core guidelines and incorporates the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.
The CA Technologies Sustainability Report effectively communicates CA’s commitment to sustainability, which has led to recognition by third parties like Newsweek, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, UN Global Compact 100 Stock Index, the Carbon Disclosure Project and the EPA’s Green Power Partnership. The report is also used for customer inquiries that are increasingly part of competitive RFPs.
In producing CA Technologies Sustainability Report, CA's Corporate Social Responsibility/Sustainability team worked in partnership with Addison, a creative agency, to put the report together.
CA's Corporate Social Responsibility/Sustainability team worked tirelessly to gather information from throughout the company to highlight CA’s continued efforts in this area, interviewing key executives to gather perspective and commentary to drive report direction. The team worked closely with members of the Internet Marketing, Corporate Branding, Facilities, Investor Relations, Legal and HR teams, as well as Green Team members around the world.
