24

Sustainability Goals •  Carbon Neutral by 2043

•  Carbon neutrality, or having a net zero carbon footprint, refers to achieving net zero carbon emissions by balancing a measured amount of carbon released with an equivalent amount renewable energy.

•  Water Neutral by 2043 •  We will reduce our water footprint as much as practical & balance the

remaining use through meaningful restoration.

•  Zero Waste to landfill by 2023 •  Zero Waste is achieving over 90% diversion of waste from landfill,

incinerators and the environment.

25

Data Facts •  Over 40k+ accounts (data sets from electricity, gas, fuel, water)

•  Over 56k+ assets (facilities, towers, vehicles, power supplies)

•  Operate in 41 states & some international locations across all of our businesses (Cox Automotive, CCI, CMG etc.)

•  Over $170 M in spend annually

26

Data Philosophy •  Data has always been very important to us. We have been

looking for ways to capture, store, and analyze a vast amount of data in an efficient & accurate manner from multiple sources.

•  Establish governances & processes to ensure data are current, complete, and accurate.

•  Analyze thousands of pieces of information and correlating them with each other to guide our business decisions and processes.

27

How We Use Data •  Tracking consumption & spend comparing to budget. •  Identify & verify anomalies such as billing errors and usage trend. •  Make corrections. •  Utilize captured data as a leverage to negotiate better utility rates. •  Use data to help prioritize utility costs (highest to lowest) for

establishing target sites for developing alternate energy & energy conservation initiatives.

•  Use to data for planning and setting environmental goals.(i.e. Carbon Footprint, etc.) Track progress.

•  Use to help identify metrics as compare to other companies and correlation to business operations.

NetApp and Sustainability

§  NetApp has always focused on energy efficiency in facility design and operations Ø  In 2009, our Global Dynamic Lab (GDL) in

RTP, NC was the first data center to receive the US EPA’s ENERGY STAR rating.

§  Customers/investors are increasingly asking us to provide real data on energy use and other metrics.

§  We implemented a SaaS platform (ENVIZI) to track and manage this growing volume of data.


§ Energy is a significant operational expenditure §  4,000,000 RSF office space globally §  This includes 200+ data centers/labs

that consume almost 2/3rds of our total annual kWh

§ Managing this requires collecting a lot of data §  A challenge when energy is handled

locally

Collecting vs. Analyzing The Importance of Good Data

§  A pilot project with Envizi led us to Urjanet, and their services are helping us our focus on what adds the most value – analyzing data:

§  Utility Data – used to pull in detailed invoice data to track peak/off-peak consumption and associated costs. Will allow us to allocate costs to specific users.

§  Meter Data – used to pull in 15 min interval data for key sites to flag potential issues and validate utility bills.

Driving OperaDonal Best PracDces •  Best practice: consolidate food to as few zones as

possible and leave the rest off

•  Savings: using an average of 4 zones (versus full 5) saves $380 / year and using an average of 3 zones saves $820 / year (assuming 15 hours / day)
