KnowBe4's Commitment to Sustainability
At KnowBe4 environmental responsibility is a strategic priority that benefits our business, our customers, our staff, and the planet. We believe that managing our environmental impact strengthens our operations, enhances our brand, and helps us better serve our customers and team members. That’s why we are committed to reducing our energy and waste consumption in the pursuit of achieving net zero GHG emissions across our business by 2040.
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 minimize waste through responsible consumption practices, innovative circularity solutions, and employee engagement initiatives across our global offices.

“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 team members actively engaged in this mission.
We believe that our environmental commitment not only benefits the planet but also strengthens our business fundamentals. Our energy efficiency initiatives have reduced operational costs, while sustainable practices enhance our brand and appeal to eco-conscious customers and top talent. By integrating environmental responsibility into our core strategy, we're creating long-term value that supports both our financial performance and our vision for a sustainable future.
While we remain focused on our pledge to achieve net-zero GHG 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.”
