Our Commitment to Sustainability

As a global leader in hybrid multicloud computing, Nutanix recognizes how technology can accelerate transformation and increase business efficiencies. Harnessing new AI capabilities while minimizing environmental costs is becoming essential for organizations, communities, and ultimately the planet. We invest in renewable energy, promote a circular economy, and help enable sustainable outcomes through IT infrastructure.

In FY25, we advanced our efforts in transparent reporting by deepening our partnership with a leading global climate solutions provider, 3Degrees. Our collaboration helps us identify opportunities to minimize our environmental impact as we continue to evaluate the feasibility of setting climate targets. While these steps advance our sustainability journey, we also consider ways we can help our customers meet their goals.

Modern organizations face growing demands on their IT infrastructure while striving to reduce environmental impact. Meeting these challenges requires efficiency through consolidation, automation, and intelligent workload placement. Nutanix helps customers build and run sustainable IT operations by simplifying complexity and optimizing resources across public and private clouds, datacenters, and the edge.

On average, customers that shared their experiences using the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) solution in the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) reported approximately a 66% decrease in physical footprint and a 50% reduction in energy consumption after replacing legacy systems.*

Circular Economy: Reuse of Hardware and Recycling Programs

Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure software runs on qualified industry-standard server hardware, allowing Nutanix and its customers to avoid proprietary storage hardware and the additional resources that it requires. This enables modernization of infrastructure with new or, in some cases, existing repurposed servers that meet Nutanix’s platform requirements. Over time, these requirements have evolved to meet customer needs. Please visit our hardware compatibility list to find out more. 

Customers running virtualized servers with legacy storage can modernize to Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure and potentially repurpose compatible servers as hyperconverged or compute nodes. Additionally, instead of costly “forklift upgrades” that replace entire systems, customers can add small server increments to an existing Nutanix cluster to introduce new storage and compute capacity as needed. This incremental approach preserves prior investments, extends hardware life, and helps minimize waste.

Repurposing hardware not only preserves financial investments made on existing IT infrastructure, but it also has the potential to:

  • Reduce e-waste
  • Conserve resources
  • Extend hardware lifespan to help mitigate embodied emissions

This approach aligns with circular economy principles in IT infrastructure management and sustainable practices (read more here).

Nutanix supports compliance with global e-waste and packaging regulatory requirements and facilitates recycling of Nutanix hardware. For more information, please visit Nutanix’s recycling page. Nutanix is committed to compliance with the U.S. producer registration and obligations to support recycling infrastructure.

Energy Efficiency Partnership

Our products are ENERGY STAR® certified.* You can find more on the Energy Star website here.

Nutanix continues to work with our NX server manufacturing partner to provide carbon lifecycle footprint data and EPEAT certification for NX servers. These servers comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive and REACH regulation, which means they meet specific environmental performance criteria, making it easier for buyers to identify and manage sustainability aspects of these products.

Our Datacenters

Nutanix datacenters are essential to our business and account for about 80% of the company’s total energy consumption. The Nutanix Cloud Platform software allows us to manage virtual machines and cloud native workloads efficiently. Our software-defined infrastructure and modern hardware design allow us to achieve datacenter density, which translates into lower capital and operational expenses. Our hybrid multicloud operations reflect our commitment to performance, scalability, reliability, and sustainability.

Since 2018, we’ve selected datacenter providers that prioritize energy and resource efficiency and power usage effectiveness (PUE). These providers offer renewable energy options and closely control water consumption. In FY25, we continued to prioritize renewable energy in our datacenters.

"More than 80% of Nutanix’s energy footprint is tied to our datacenters, so that’s where we focus our renewable energy efforts. More than 78% of our IT load is matched with renewable energy."

Rami Mazid Chief Information Officer, *#*Nutanix

Office Buildings and Facilities

Our efficiency efforts remain a top priority for our Nutanix workplaces. Our HQ consolidation project, which began in 2022, was completed in FY25. This project reduced our largest location, our five-building headquarters, from 440,000 square feet to just under 216,000 square feet, a 51% reduction. Several of the vacated buildings used natural gas, which in prior years contributed to our Scope 1 emissions. As a result, we've observed a 33% reduction in Scope 1 emissions in FY25 compared to our base year of FY23.*

*See Greenhouse Gas Emissions for more information.

Many of the resources used in the downsized office space, such as furniture and electronic equipment, were repurposed in the remaining office space or donated to Greener Source, Resource Area for Teaching (RAFT), a local Boys & Girls Club, a local high school, and corporate e-waste partners. We aspire to use this model globally to repurpose as many resources as possible when consolidating, building new, or moving existing workspaces.

 

Currently, we have two facilities with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification and five facilities with LEED Silver certification. Going forward, we continue to strive for a minimum of LEED Silver in future office buildouts.

We focus on efficiently operating our office spaces and continue to promote and support sustainable practices across the organization, including:

  • Recycling at all locations
  • Centralized trash receptacles within office space
  • Reducing paper goods where possible, utilizing glassware
  • Selection of vendors who utilize environmentally friendly products and services where possible
  • Locally sourced food, where available
  • Offering more bulk snacks to minimize packaging
  • Employee commute programs, including cycle and rail options
  • Sustainable, non-PFAS food packaging and reduction of single-use plastics in break rooms
  • Charging stations for electric vehicles, available at some office locations
  • Using energy-efficient lighting, HVAC solutions, and controls

In FY25, we reduced the use of paper products at our headquarters and plan to implement similar programs at other locations. In Mexico City, we eliminated single-use canned beverages. Nutanix also participated in Bike to Work Day, an event sponsored by the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition that promotes awareness of less carbon-intensive modes of transportation.

Methodology

Methodology

Nutanix annually inventories its greenhouse gas emissions using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard from the World Resource Institute, covering Scopes 1, 2, and selected Scope 3 categories and have selected FY23 as our base year for comparative purposes. We collect energy consumption data from our leased offices and data centers to calculate the associated emissions for Scopes 1 and 2. With guidance from external consultants, we identify relevant categories associated with Scope 3 and use various methods to estimate emissions. Certain emissions data, particularly for Scope 3, are estimated using industry averages and best-available data where precise data is not available. Scope 3 estimates are inherently uncertain due to the indirect nature of these emissions and the variety of sources and estimation methods used, and these estimates may be revised as improved data becomes available.
