Our Priorities
Environmental Sustainability
We’re committed to environmental stewardship.
In 2024, we continued our work toward reducing our environmental impact and supporting our customers in their sustainability efforts.
Decarbonization
We achieved carbon neutrality across our business operations through a combination of on-site solar, Green-e certified Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs), and carbon offset projects. We continue to look for new ways to reduce our carbon footprint, including further investing in renewable energy.
- 92% reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions since 2019
- Committed to further studying our Scope 3 emissions and developing an emission reduction strategy
- Began development of near-term and long-term Net Zero Science Based Targets (SBTs) to further reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in line with globally accepted, science-based goals.
Responsible Operations
Our remote-first workforce strategy continues to play a major role in minimizing the environmental impact of our operations. Our LEED Gold headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina is equipped with on-site solar panels, LED lighting, and optimized HVAC solutions.
- Blackbaud HQ earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® certification for superior energy performance
- 25% reduction in energy consumption at our global headquarters since 2019
- 21% reduction in water usage at our global headquarters since 2019
“Blackbaud is proud to be recognized as a climate leader in 2024 and will continue to prioritize environmental sustainability in the future.”
