We help our customers make a difference
Leading businesses recognize that environmental sustainability is good business—and good for business. Whether driven by a desire to protect the environment, reduce costs, meet growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products, or comply with increasing regulation, sustainability can benefit both the environment and the bottom line. Oracle is a key facilitator in helping our customers make a difference, in terms of both the technology solutions they use, and the clean and circular Oracle Cloud platform on which they operate.
Oracle solutions
Technologies are enabling insights for intelligent decision-making—including environmental impact considerations—that were thought to be cost-prohibitive and impossible at scale. Oracle solutions help optimize resource management, value-chain execution, environmental analytics and reporting, and many other areas. We know that technology will play a crucial role in achieving the United Nation’s ambitious Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, including rethinking the delivery of goods and services in a more circular economy. The Oracle NetSuite Social Impact program offers nonprofits and social enterprises software donations and pro bono services to accelerate impact.
Driving innovation
Disruptive technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and blockchain are driving unprecedented environmental and business innovation by supporting holistic decision-making and groundbreaking research. Oracle for Startups is helping startup communities thrive by using these technologies to deliver new solutions—and, in many cases—to build entirely new business models, such as the sharing economy.
Celebrating success
Successful organizations integrate sustainability into core business activities throughout their value chains rather than in isolated departments or processes. Information technology is key to enabling more impactful, far-reaching, and cost-effective results. We take pride in recognizing our customers’ success in using Oracle solutions to deliver positive impacts.
Product stewardship
Oracle’s Hardware Take Back and Recycling program helps Oracle customers dispose of retired equipment in a secure, environmentally responsible, and regulatory-compliant manner. By reselling and reusing equipment and harvesting spare parts, we’re able to extend the useful life of existing equipment while also delivering business value for Oracle.
