Pure's Corporate Social Responsibility

Pure Storage is committed to corporate, social, and environmental responsibility, which includes ensuring our employees and suppliers take appropriate measures to help mitigate the risk of human trafficking and slavery within our global supply chain. We will not tolerate forced labor, indentured labor, involuntary/child labor, and human trafficking by any Pure Storage supplier.

Pure is committed to respecting human rights through our business practice that does not use conflict minerals, specifically those sources from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries.

For many companies, when they reduce data center energy consumption, they shrink their environmental footprint. Pure is proud to provide our customers with one of the most energy-efficient storage solutions. Moving from legacy storage to Pure all-flash can provide up to 90% savings in physical space – and a 90% energy savings as well. In addition, several FlashArray models are EPA Energy Star Certified.

At Pure, we think about the effect on the planet of our products from production, to installation, to end of life. In all our manufacturing operations, we ensure that we are complying with WEEE regulations and recycling our product – on a country by country basis. We can also connect customers to an approved recycling service worldwide.

At Pure, we’re passionate about protecting our planet. Our Pure Sustainability employee group spearheads efforts to empower employee participation in sustainability initiatives, including eliminating plastic consumption and food waste, donating to environmental organizations and limiting unnecessary giveaways. We believe less is more!

Sustainability thrives in our DNA, so we’ve partnering with One Tree Planted to keep the world we share always evergreen.

The highly-modular Pure FlashArray architecture enables Evergreen™ Storage ownership model. Instead of forklift upgrades, Pure offers simple, non-disruptive upgrades and component replacements. As a result, we ship less physical product — and save on cost, energy, and carbon emissions. Plus, the quantity of electronic waste that needs to be recycled is substantially lower than legacy, 'forklift upgrade' arrays.

Pure Storage has adopted the following EHS Policy on a worldwide basis not just because it is legally required, but also because we believe it is the responsible way to conduct our business and to promote greater environmental responsibility.
