SunGard is a global leader in integrated software and processing solutions.

Key Environmental Performance Area:

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Facilities)

Summary

In 2011, SunGard continued measuring and managing energy consumption in its Availability Services data centers and established a 2008 performance baseline through the Green Portfolio Program. In absolute terms, GHG emissions from Availability Services have increased approximately 23% compared to a 2008 baseline due to business growth, with most of the increase happening between 2008 and 2010. Meanwhile, efficiency has improved by an estimated 5% (GHGs/square foot) since 2008. The improvements in efficiency have helped SunGard to avoid costs of more than $12.1 million and more than 87,000 metric tons of GHG emissions since 2008.

SunGard: Data Center GHG Efficiency Results (2008 Baseline)

Actions

In 2011, SunGard achieved these results through the following practices:

• Completed implementing “Best Practices” at select facilities
• Installed hot aisle containment solution
• Installed Eco Chillers at select facilities

Future Plans

In 2012 and 2013, SunGard is continuing to focus on the efficiency of its data centers and is currently considering or actively implementing the following additional practices:

• Continuing hot aisle and cold aisle containment across facilities
• Installing more efficient lighting in data centers
• Conducting two technical analysis studies
• Performing temperature set-point pilot test
• Installing a chiller misting system
• Conducting a beta for power optimizer

SunGard enrolled in the Green Portfolio Program in 2009 and is reporting results into the program for the third time. SunGard is actively measuring and managing energy use as part of its larger sustainability efforts, which are described in detail on SunGard’s corporate responsibility website.

Note: Reported numbers are rounded and may not produce the same results when used to analyze percent changes or total impact.
