ESG

Data creation continues to explode, and so does the demand for storing it. As an industry leader with manufacturing sites across the globe, we strive to meet that demand. To succeed, we must find ways to rely less on finite resources such as minerals and water; reduce our carbon emissions; work harder to foster a safe and equal workplace; and now more than ever, uphold the highest standards around customer data security and privacy. These are universal challenges. How we address them — through integrity, innovation, and inclusion — is what sets us apart.
