Responsibility
At NetApp, we recognize that today’s global challenges demand bold, forward-thinking solutions. That’s why we leverage the transformative power of data and uphold our core values to drive positive impact—for people, communities, and the planet—while advancing a more sustainable future.
Our commitment
A renewed vision for sustainability
Sustainability is integrated into our business strategy. Stakeholders shape our key priority topics: energy management, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, energy-efficient products, product stewardship and circularity, data privacy and security, supply chain management, belonging, and human capital efforts.
Sustainable Innovations Delivering Intelligent, Sustainable Data Infrastructure
Improving energy management and reducing emissions are critical concerns. As data grows, so does the environmental impact of storage. Together, we can reduce our carbon footprint and drive sustainable change.
Cultivating a High-Performance Culture
At NetApp, we know that our journey as the Intelligent Data Infrastructure leader is about more than strategy and scale; it’s about our people and creating a place where they can flourish.
Building a resilient business
Informed by data, NetApp is focused on improving energy-efficiency, reducing our reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources, and conserving natural resources. Our strong governance approach ensures we operate responsibly, enabling our strategy and safeguarding our customers’ data.

A gold medal
In October 2025, NetApp received our latest assessment rating from EcoVadis. We were awarded GOLD, placing NetApp in the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the past 12 months.
Decarbonization goals
NetApp’s near-term targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets.
CDP Disclosure
CDP runs a global environmental disclosure system. Each year CDP supports thousands of companies, cities, states, and regions to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and deforestation. NetApp has responded annually to CDP since 2010.
A blueprint for sustainability
United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) serve as a global action plan for a sustainable future, tackling issues like poverty, inequality, and climate change. At NetApp, our business and philanthropic efforts are aligned with several of these vital goals.
