From trees to tech: Creative efforts to preserve our planet
At ServiceNow, Earth Day is a reminder of our ongoing responsibility to protect and preserve our planet. “ServiceNow is committed to leading in environmental, social, and governance (ESG)—as both exemplar and enabler,” says ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott in our Global Impact Report.
That’s why every day we champion the transition to a net-zero world. Whether planting trees in Mexico or using technology to provide clean water in Kenya, we know collaboration is essential to shaping a better future.
Our partnership with ChangeX, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to empowering communities to accelerate their impact on environmental and social challenges, is an excellent example. The alliance has made it possible for ServiceNow to direct improvement funds to employees’ communities.
Planting trees, building community
Ronja L., a senior people partner at ServiceNow in Ireland, credits the ChangeX partnership with improving her community. ServiceNow worked with Pocket Forests, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to greening urban spaces by planting native trees.
Ronja’s gardening gloves “have gotten a lot of good use both in my new home garden and now by planting trees with other ServiceNow employees here in Dublin,” she explains.
“We planted over 300 trees” at each of two locations, she adds. ServiceNow employees, their children, and local school attendees joined in, fascinated by the process and excited to learn about the importance of caring for the earth.
(Solar) empowering the next generation
ChangeX support also enabled ServiceNow to partner with Solar Bildung to teach students at six schools in Germany about climate and sustainability through solar panels and learning materials. Philippa H., a manager of field marketing at ServiceNow in Germany, participated in building solar power projects in her community.
“When we finished putting together a solar panel, a young boy plugged in an electric piano and began to play it,” she says, remembering a sunny day during the project. “It was a beautiful moment and such a good reminder that we must care for the planet for future generations.”
ServiceNow employees will continue to engage in community service initiatives to preserve our planet. Additionally, our unique ESG solutions on the Now Platform empower our business partners to enhance their efficiency and environmental impacts while better serving their customers, so that, together, we can make the world a better place.
