SUSTAINED COMMITMENT

New Goals for a More Sustainable Future  

Western Digital is already a leader when it comes to sustainability, but now we have big plans to make an even bigger difference. Our ambitious sustainability commitments will have a major impact on operations, product development, and supply chain management, as well as on our global environmental footprint. Continuing our focus on emissions, we are committing to running our operations on 100% carbon-free energy by 2030 and to achieving net zero emissions in our operations (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2032. We are also committing to diverting 95% of our waste from landfills and to reducing water withdrawals by 20% (vs 2022), both by 2030.

But we’re not stopping at our operations—we’re committing to aggressive science-based targets across our value chain as well. We have set goals for a 50% reduction in downstream Scope 3 emissions per petabyte during use phase by 2030 (vs 2020), and a 20% reduction in direct materials emissions by 2030 (vs 2024). In our enterprise HDDs, we have committed to using 43% recycled content in products and 72% recycled content in packaging by 2030. 

We thank you for your continued support as we work to build a better future.
