The operations of Genesys Cloud are carbon neutral as of fiscal year 2025, and we are working to reduce emissions across the value chain and harness energy-efficient technology to better serve our customers and achieve net zero emissions by 2040.
Goal: Carbon neutral by 2030
“Annual emissions” means Genesys Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions identified, estimated and quantified to date. Scope 2 data is location-based. Genesys continues to refine its GHG accounting methods and anticipates these calculations will fluctuate as a result.

Genesys Sustainability Ambassadors have taken steps to integrate sustainable practices into their behaviors — and they actively engage fellow employees to do the same. Here are a few examples of our Sustainability Ambassador community in action:
“I enjoy serving as a sustainability ambassador because it affords me the opportunity to directly connect our Facilities and Environmental Health and Safety teams to the important sustainability initiatives that help make Genesys better!”
Armond Moore
Facilities Manager – Global Health and Safety and Sustainability, North America
“Honestly, being a sustainability ambassador is just awesome. You know how we all try to stay healthy and take care of ourselves? Well, I feel the same way about Mother Earth! It’s like, our planet needs some well-being, too.”
Divya Sriram
Regional Experience and Engagement Manager, Asia-Pacific
“To be a sustainability ambassador gives me the opportunity to contribute every day to make a difference in the world… simple things that will generate big results!”
Suzi Oliveira Leao

Our Impact Together program is employee-driven and employer-supported, meaning that we work collaboratively and strategically with our team to accelerate positive change in the communities where we live and work. Our charitable giving and volunteer efforts focus on four pillars.
Community engagement
Volunteering and giving in the communities where we live and work; deepening our organizational commitment to empathy
Reskilling and awareness
Leveraging our workforce skill set to train our communities; opening up future opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; upskilling our employee population
Crisis response
Providing critical support during times of disaster or crisis to the communities where our employees, customers and partners reside
Product for good
Embedding sustainability and empathy in the technology and services we provide, serving societal needs and benefiting the environment
We support the mission of the United Nations Global Compact to mobilize a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders to create the world we want.
The United Nations created the Sustainable Development Goals as a blueprint for promoting prosperity and protecting the planet. Of its 17 goals, five align most closely with our sustainability goals and priorities.
Genesys uses artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver empathetic experiences for customers and employees at scale.
Our approach to AI seeks to balance innovation with responsibility. Built upon the principles of trust and transparency, our AI ethics guidelines and governance practices enable us to deliver reliable AI tools and services that are trustworthy, compliant and beneficial for all users. Underpinned by our values, we prioritize customer privacy and security and are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. We reinforce this commitment through strong governance, targeted policies and in-depth training and communications.
In FY25, we established new and more robust AI Ethics Guidelines that govern the way we develop AI products and help ensure AI systems are developed and used responsibly.
Through the Charitable Discount Program, we empower charitable organizations to deliver proactive, predictive and personalized experiences to improve productivity and strengthen employee engagement.
Western Sydney University harnessed Genesys Cloud AI to transform its system, leading to a 90% overall customer satisfaction score and daily productivity gains of up to 30 minutes per agent.
“Overall, the transition to Genesys Cloud has not only optimized student engagement but has also empowered employees, positioning WSU for continued success in delivering exceptional experiences for 2024 and beyond.”
Scott Snyder
Chief Information and Digital Officer, Western Sydney University
Our employee-led inclusion groups are open to all and create and foster supportive communities within the workplace.

About our Sustainability Report
The metrics on this page are excerpted from our fiscal year 2025 sustainability report, which includes updates on our sustainability strategy, performance and related metrics, and should be read in conjunction with the full fiscal year 2025 sustainability report, covering the period from February 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025, with additional information on activities, where appropriate, through June 2025. Unless indicated or the context requires otherwise, all metrics cover our fiscal year 2025.
The goals and projects described on this page and in our sustainability report are aspirational; as such, no guarantees or promises are made that these goals and projects will be met or successfully executed. Furthermore, data, statistics and metrics included on this page and in our report are non-audited estimates, not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continue to evolve and may be based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation, but should not be considered guarantees and are subject to future revision.
Genesys Cloud operations neutrality statement*
Genesys calculates the annual emissions from the operations of Genesys Cloud based on (i) the estimated annual emissions from Genesys Cloud AWS usage and its internal IT computing on AWS using the AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool, plus (ii) the estimated annual emissions of Genesys Cloud Edge devices which manage connections between phones, SIP trunks, telephony gateways, Genesys Cloud, and third-party systems. We apply carbon credits purchased from Rubicon Carbon against these annual emissions, resulting in a carbon-neutral footprint for our Genesys Cloud operations. ”Emissions from Genesys Cloud AWS usage“ include direct emissions from operations and indirect emissions from producing the electricity used to host Genesys Cloud. Emissions from all commercial agreement types (i.e., cloud, subscription and license) are included. Emissions from research and development performed on AWS platforms, such as development, testing and demo systems, are included. Emissions from electricity from use of third-party tools, hardware used by developers and upstream activities such as R&D-related travel are excluded. Emissions from reselling telecommunications services are excluded. Emissions from software integrations resulting from Genesys’ acquisitions are included once their systems are internalized on AWS.
