At Juniper Networks, our values are more than just words; they are the guiding force behind our mission to make every connection count—in networking and the world around us. As a responsible global citizen, we are dedicated to driving positive, meaningful change while prioritizing the best interests of our customers, employees, partners, and the planet. We are proud to share the details of this work in our 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
Environmental leadership through climate action
Recognizing the urgency of addressing climate change, we have set ambitious net-zero targets through the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). We are committed to addressing climate change proactively across our operations and our value chain. Some areas of focus for emissions reduction include:
- A long-term solar agreement that will cover over 50% of our energy needs in North America
- By 2030, we aim to decrease emissions by 25% in our top three Scope 3 categories, emissions from activities outside of our direct operations.
- Our Supply Chain Operation (SCO) has been taking new actions on our goals to reduce emissions from suppliers, logistics partners, and manufacturers.
- Reductions in our plastic packaging usage with annual and mid-term plastic reduction goals to measure our progress such as an 80% reduction in the use of virgin plastic by 2025 (from 2022 baseline).
Advancing product sustainability
Since its launch in 2023, Juniper Beyond Labs has become the innovation hub at the forefront of groundbreaking projects that benefit the broader industry. Projects are in key areas, including sustainable networking, AI, 5G, and quantum-safe communications. From the brightest minds at Juniper and our customers, we have seen amazing sustainability benefits, such as substantial declines in energy consumption, operational costs, and emissions through advancements in silicon, systems, and software.
Empowering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
In our pursuit of a diverse and inclusive workplace, we are transparently tracking our progress by reporting representation data annually. Through our Employee Affinity Groups (EAGs), we provide a platform for under-represented groups to thrive, fostering a culture of belonging, leadership, and professional development. We’re proud to share that 18% of Junivators (our employees) are actively participating in our EAGs.
Community engagement for collective impact
Our commitment to community extends beyond our walls through the Juniper Foundation Fund, which supports initiatives focusing on workforce empowerment, global resilience, disaster response, and more. Our employees are encouraged to give back through volunteering programs and matching gifts, amplifying their impact on causes they are passionate about.
Steering toward a sustainable future
As we navigate dynamic times, we rely on our values and CSR strategy as our North Star, guiding us toward a future where innovation, sustainability, and connectivity intersect. We express our deepest gratitude to our global team, partners, and customers for their unwavering support as we collectively build a world where technology and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
At Juniper Networks, we are not just shaping the future of networking; we are shaping a future where technology serves as a catalyst for positive change. Join us on this journey of innovation and impact, where every connection counts.
