The company submitted emissions-reduction targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and kept operations of the Genesys Cloud\u2122 platform carbon neutral as demand for its AI capabilities grew significantly. Genesys is working to reduce emissions across the value chain and harness energy-efficient technology to better serve its customers, with the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. Even as the company released more than 150 new AI features in fiscal year 2025, the energy used to build and power them was mitigated in part through a strategic focus on energy-efficient development, including model compression, right-sized architecture and the use of foundation models.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To promote ethical AI development, Genesys enhanced its AI Ethics Guidelines and introduced customer-facing product cards to improve transparency and understanding of how its tools work. A newly established AI Ethics Roundtable also reviewed new features and provided guidance on responsible innovation. With Genesys Cloud AI solutions, including Virtual Supervisor and Agent Copilot, organisations can reshape how they deliver empathy at scale \u2014 all while being designed with energy efficiency in mind.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Impact Beyond Emissions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The company\u2019s AI-Powered Experience Orchestration <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">p<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">latform<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> fueled not just productivity but purpose, enabling mission-driven organisations to scale critical services through the Genesys Charitable Discount Program.
