Continued closure of offices during the pandemic, the company's transition to a hybrid workplace, data center consolidation, and additional energy strategies taken together have reduced Teradata's absolute GHG emissions by 43%, exceeding the goal by 8% and 12 years ahead of schedule. Teradata has also announced a net-zero emissions ambition and is developing science-based plans and a timeline to achieve this ambition.
