\nOutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 1 October 2021 – Okta,
\nInc.<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity provider, today
\nannounced the company has reached 100 percent renewable electricity for its
\nglobal offices and employees’ work-from-home consumption in FY22, and launched
\nthe\u00a0Dynamic Work Greenhouse Gas\u00a0(GHG) Emissions Study, a study designed
\nto measure the environmental impact of today’s hybrid workforce. The study
\nfound that in a\u00a0Dynamic
\nWork<\/a>\u00a0environment, Okta’s hybrid work framework which provides equity
\nacross work environments, per employee emissions are estimated to be 21 percent
\nlower than they were prior to implementing Dynamic Work.<\/p>\n
\nAs Okta expands its global presence and embraces Dynamic Work, quantifying the
\ncompany’s new environmental footprint has become a critical piece of Okta’s
\nEnvironmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) process. Okta partnered with Global
\nSustainability Consultancy\u00a0Anthesis<\/a>\u00a0to
\nrun an analysis comparing its FY20 pre-pandemic, pre-dynamic year of work (Feb
\n1, 2019\u00a0–\u00a0Jan 31, 2020) with an FY23 projected year with Dynamic Work
\nin place to understand the impact Okta’s Dynamic Work framework has on its
\ngreenhouse gas emissions inventory. The study found that Dynamic Work can
\nreduce GHG emissions, due to reduced employee commuting and reduced workplace
\nsquare footage per person, even when accounting for incremental increases in
\nhome energy use.<\/p>\n
\nenvironmental footprint has evolved along with the way we work. Just as we need
\nto be responsible for the environmental impact of the buildings we occupy and
\nthe services we provide, now we need to account for and help our employees to
\nunderstand, measure and reduce their environmental impact in this new
\ndistributed, Dynamic Work model,” said\u00a0Erin Baudo Felter, Vice President,
\nSocial Impact & Sustainability, Okta. “This study is an important first
\nstep in understanding and quantifying our impact with Dynamic Work.”<\/i><\/p>\n
\ntargets to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as part of their climate
\nchange strategies. Anthesis is a critical partner to our clients in their
\nefforts to not only create sustainable business models but to also measure
\nimpact”, said\u00a0Emma Armstrong, Executive Director with Anthesis. “As the
\nworkplace evolves to accommodate changing needs accelerated by the pandemic, we
\nwere excited to partner with Okta to understand how a model that supports this
\nnew way of work impacts the environment. The projected reduction in emissions
\nper person resulting from Okta’s Dynamic Work model is significant, and
\nprovides an example for how other companies might examine their workplace
\nemissions in the future. We look forward to partnering with Okta to measure the
\nactual impacts resulting from the full roll out of Dynamic Work, which we
\nanticipate will further inform emissions measurement and workplace strategies
\nthrough the lens of sustainable performance”. <\/i><\/p>\n
\nEmissions Study follows Okta achieving 100 percent renewable electricity this
\nyear for its global offices, including coworking spaces, and global employee
\nwork-from-home electricity consumption. This critical milestone was reached by
\npurchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs) equivalent to 100 percent of
\nits global office and work-from-home employees’ electricity consumption, and a
\ncommitment to energy efficiency with both LEED Silver and WELL Silver certified
\nOkta offices. The majority of the RECs Okta purchased were from the
\nCalifornia\u00a0Bright Schools\u00a0solar program, which helps to realize the
\nmost cost-effective energy-saving opportunities, supports renewable energy
\neducation and the installation of solar on schools across the state.<\/p>\n
\nmaximize benefits to society, the environment, and all of its stakeholders,
\nOkta has committed to:<\/p>\n\n
