Executive Summary

Acme Cloud operates as a remote-first B2B SaaS company providing cloud collaboration and workflow automation software to enterprise customers globally. Our operational model results in a relatively low direct environmental footprint compared to manufacturing, logistics, or heavy industry sectors. Our ESG strategy focuses on four interconnected pillars: reducing cloud infrastructure emissions through computational efficiency optimization and renewable energy procurement, fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace where diverse talent can thrive, maintaining robust governance and security practices that protect customer trust, and supporting our local and global communities through meaningful volunteerism and pro-bono technology services.

Fiscal year 2025 delivered measurable progress across all ESG dimensions. Environmental highlights include a 34% reduction in carbon intensity per customer (metric tons CO2e per 1,000 monthly active users) compared to our FY2023 baseline year, achieved primarily through cloud infrastructure optimization and strategic workload placement in renewable energy regions. Social achievements include reaching 42% women in our overall workforce with 38% representation in leadership positions, maintaining 100% completion rate for employee Code of Conduct training including ethics and human rights modules, and contributing $125,000 in pro-bono platform access to fifteen nonprofit organizations serving education, environmental conservation, and digital literacy missions. Governance accomplishments include maintaining SOC 2 Type II certification with zero qualified opinions, advancing ISO 27001 certification preparation to 85% control implementation, and sustaining an independent board majority with 60% independent directors and 40% gender diversity.

Environmental Performance

Carbon Footprint Overview

Acme Cloud tracks greenhouse gas emissions across all three scopes defined by the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. As a technology services company without manufacturing operations, our emissions profile differs significantly from industrial enterprises, with Scope 3 emissions comprising approximately 96% of our total carbon footprint.

Metric	FY2023 (Baseline)	FY2024	FY2025	YoY Change	vs. Baseline
Total estimated emissions (Scope 1+2+3)	1,240 tCO2e	1,180 tCO2e	1,090 tCO2e	-7.6%	-12.1%
Carbon intensity (tCO2e / 1,000 MAU)	0.82	0.61	0.54	-11.5%	-34.1%
Scope 1 (direct emissions)	12 tCO2e	10 tCO2e	8 tCO2e	-20.0%	-33.3%
Scope 2 (purchased electricity — location-based)	45 tCO2e	38 tCO2e	32 tCO2e	-15.8%	-28.9%
Scope 2 (purchased electricity — market-based)	38 tCO2e	30 tCO2e	24 tCO2e	-20.0%	-36.8%
Scope 3 (value chain emissions)	1,183 tCO2e	1,132 tCO2e	1,050 tCO2e	-7.2%	-11.2%
Cloud infrastructure emissions	982 tCO2e	924 tCO2e	847 tCO2e	-8.3%	-13.7%
Business travel emissions	89 tCO2e	98 tCO2e	76 tCO2e	-22.4%	-14.6%
Employee commuting / home office	112 tCO2e	110 tCO2e	127 tCO2e	+15.5%	+13.4%

Scope 3 emissions represent our primary environmental impact area, dominated by Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure usage estimated through the AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool. The increase in home office emissions reflects more accurate measurement methodology capturing residential energy consumption from our 95% remote workforce. We do not operate owned or leased data centers, eliminating traditional IT infrastructure Scope 1 and 2 categories common in technology companies.

Climate Risk Assessment (TCFD-Aligned)

Following Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations, we assess climate-related risks and opportunities across four pillars:

TCFD Pillar	Acme Cloud Assessment	Actions
Governance	Board Audit Committee exercises ESG oversight with quarterly briefings; CPO/CFO/VP Ops share executive accountability	See Corporate Governance document
Strategy	Remote-first model reduces physical risk exposure; cloud infrastructure provides operational resilience	Business continuity planning integrates climate scenarios
Risk Management	Climate risks integrated into enterprise risk management framework; annual scenario analysis	Regulatory transition risk monitoring
Metrics & Targets	Scope 1/2/3 tracking; 30% Scope 3 reduction target by 2030; carbon intensity KPIs	See emissions tables above

Physical climate risks are limited for our operations given remote-first model and geographically distributed cloud infrastructure. Transition risks include potential carbon pricing regulations affecting cloud provider costs, customer sustainability requirements affecting procurement decisions, and emerging mandatory disclosure requirements under SEC climate rules and EU CSRD. We view these transitions as opportunities to differentiate through transparency and verified environmental performance.

Data Quality and Assurance

Emissions data for Scope 3 cloud infrastructure relies on AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool estimates, which use AWS-provided emission factors and customer usage data. Employee commuting and home office energy estimates are derived from survey sampling (n=120, extrapolated to full workforce) using regional average energy consumption factors.

We have not yet obtained third-party limited assurance for ESG metrics. We target limited assurance engagement covering FY2026 emissions data to be published with the FY2026 ESG Report. Prior year comparisons use consistent methodology except where noted.
