The FY2024 Sustainability Report highlights progress in energy-efficient infrastructure, carbon emissions reduction, and customer positivity.
Hitachi Vantara‘s latest FY2024 Sustainability Report shows that the data management company is on track in achieving its goals regarding sustainability, while highlighting its advancements in energy-efficient infrastructure and reductions in carbon emissions.
The FY2024 Sustainability Report marks the second edition of its annual ESG progress and transparency reporting, outlining Hitachi Vantara’s progress in sustainability.
“We’re proud of the progress we’ve made since our inaugural Sustainability Report, but we know the journey doesn’t end there,” said Sheila Rohra, CEO of Hitachi Vantara. “Our focus remains on highlighting how sustainability, particularly in the data center, can be both a key driver of innovation and a business differentiator – from reducing carbon emissions to helping businesses achieve energy savings, enhance operational efficiency and meet their broader sustainability goals.”
Highlights of the report include:
- Several Hitachi Vantara storage solutions earning ENERGY STAR certification for their performance and energy efficiency
- Hitachi Vantara’s state-of-the-art solar-powered distribution center in the Netherlands generates approximately 30% of the electricity consumption from on-site solar production
- 40% by weight of the materials used in the bezels of Hitachi Vantara’s VSP One Block and File storage models come from post-consumer recycled plastics
- Hitachi Vantara consumed 78,211 MWh of energy, with 90% of that from grid electricity and 35% from renewable sources, such as solar and wind
- The company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY2030
“Sustainability was an important factor in our selection of VSP One Block,” said Maurizio Maio, CIO of La Molisana. “Although the energy consumption of our data center is relatively low compared to our manufacturing operations, we are keen to implement eco-friendly IT solutions. The energy-efficient VSP One Block aligns perfectly with our vision.”
While the FY2024 Sustainability Report reflects on the achievements of the past year, Hitachi Vantara recently introduced its first key sustainability commitment of FY2025: a new Sustainability Guarantee that will be offered as part of its storage platform.
