KnowBe4 takes environmental responsibility seriously and is committed to sustainability for the good of our customers, the good of our staff, and the good of the planet. While KnowBe4 has a lower than average carbon footprint due to the nature of our business, we recognize that our operations do have an impact on the environment, and know that we can lower our footprint even further.
Our Commitments
- To achieve net zero carbon emissions across our business by 2040 — 10 years ahead of the United Nations’ Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
- To increase our use of clean, renewable energy to an average of at least 25% for our offices globally by 2025.
- To reach an overall annual average waste diversion rate of 80% from landfill for our U.S. Corporate Headquarters.
“The health of our planet affects all life, and at KnowBe4, we take our environmental responsibility seriously. Our commitment to extreme ownership extends to safeguarding our environment, with every team member actively engaged in this mission.
We're not just focused on grand gestures like our pledge to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. We also prioritize smaller, everyday actions such as organizing neighborhood clean-ups and composting our office coffee grounds. Environmental stewardship isn't merely a corporate policy for us—it's woven into the fabric of our culture. It defines who we are and guides our actions, from leadership to every individual in our organization.
At KnowBe4, we believe that every effort, big or small, contributes to a healthier planet. We're dedicated to making a positive impact and inspiring others to join us in this crucial endeavor.”
- Lael, Director of Global Sustainability
