Reducing our impact
As a cloud-native cybersecurity software company with a remote-friendly culture and a small real estate footprint, we focus our environmental efforts on the areas most relevant to our business. We are taking steps to measure our carbon footprint and energy use, and also evaluate opportunities to reduce our environmental impact where appropriate.
GHG emissions reporting
Our FY26 Sustainability Report includes our Scopes 1-3 GHG emissions. CrowdStrike engaged an external third party to perform limited assurance procedures over selected FY26 GHG emissions and energy metrics.
CrowdStrike data centers
We consider environmental impact when selecting data center locations. When feasible, we prefer locations that offer sustainable power and a lower carbon footprint. Currently, 43.5% of the electricity CrowdStrike uses at its leased data centers comes from renewable sources.
We also choose cloud providers and vendors that use renewable energy whenever possible. In addition, we strive to increase the watts-to-performance ratio of our computing, which increases energy efficiency.
Collective environmental action
We empower CrowdStrike employees to suggest and implement ideas for reducing our environmental impact. Our Green Team, a global employee interest group, drives education and inspires action.
How we're reducing our footprint
These are some of the ways we're working to assess and reduce our environmental impact across CrowdStrike's operations.
Set science-based targets
In January 2026, we submitted our near-term, science-based GHG emissions reduction targets to the Science-based Targets Initiative for validation.
Prioritize green building
Nearly half of our largest office buildings are LEED, BREEAM, or ENERGY STAR®-certified and we prioritize green building practices in the construction, build out, and renovation of our facilities.
Promote remote work
Our remote-friendly culture not only promotes work-life balance but also reduces employee commuting and our need to operate large offices.
Quantify impacts, risks, and opportunities
We measure the most significant environmental impacts of our operations, have conducted a climate risk assessment, and continually identify opportunities to reduce our environmental impact.
Empower CrowdStrikers’ sustainable actions
We welcome our employees’ ideas to conserve CrowdStrike’s use of natural resources and also encourage them to build sustainable habits in their daily lives.
Provide sustainable work environments
We conserve natural resources through energy and water efficiency, source material reduction, material reuse, and recycling.
Minimize data center impact
We include environmental impact criteria in the selection and planning of CrowdStrike data centers and prioritize the use of renewable energy.
Encourage sustainable travel
We encourage virtual meetings and offer employees a travel booking system that shows the emissions associated with their flights so they can make informed decisions.
Taking action through market instruments
We partnered with Watershed Technology Inc. to identify, purchase, and retire a variety of high-quality energy attribute certificates (EACs). We have also worked with ClimeCo and CarbonFund to purchase and retire high-quality, certified carbon offsets. See California Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures
Comply with regulations
We are committed to conducting our business in alignment with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
Incorporate best practices
We are a member of Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) to enhance our knowledge, collaboration, and action on sustainability issues.
