Welcome
Welcome to our fourth annual ESG Report, covering the calendar year 2023*, a period marked by substantial disruption among IT vendors, widespread adoption of hybrid cloud operations across different industries and major advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly around generative AI and large language models (LLMs). For Nutanix, it was a year of rapid innovation, rigorous optimization, and sustainable growth as more IT organizations around the world rely on our hybrid multicloud platform. Digital transformation continues to be a business imperative around the world, and we have an enormous multiyear opportunity ahead. This report shows how our employee, sustainability and governance efforts play a role in our success.
Our environmental, social, and governance endeavors influence our culture principles and long-term thinking. These help us attract and retain top talent to delight our customers (90 Net Promoter Score, a seven-year average) as we help them build their future using our hybrid multicloud platform and support.
Enterprises and organizations across industries are using more applications to better run their business and serve customer needs. Nutanix helps thousands of customers by dramatically simplifying IT infrastructure required to run those applications and manage all of their data across private data centers, the edge and public cloud services. Our products enable scalable cloud computing capabilities and operational efficiencies, which can result in lower total cost of ownership and reduced environmental impact of IT infrastructure.
On average, our customers report over a 70% reduction in physical hardware footprint and more than a 50% reduction in energy consumption by moving from traditional three-tier SAN-based architecture to our Nutanix Cloud platform1. Our own environmental sustainability practices are maturing, as we focus on continuous improvement in how we measure and report energy consumption, where we run our IT workloads, and how we manage workspaces for our distributed, hybrid-first workforce. We continue to invest in renewable energy certificates to account for a majority of our company’s energy consumption.
To build a workplace where employees are inspired and can thrive, we invest in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging efforts, which we believe enable more effective decision-making processes, increased innovation in our products and services, and greater customer satisfaction. Our robust employee benefits, social groups, and diversity initiatives help us navigate through challenges, connect us to communities, and support our employees at home and in our careers. Employees worldwide are committed to social issues, donating their time and financial support to a wide range of communities. I’m delighted and proud to see our employees around the world dedicated to improving their communities.
I am proud of the progress and achievements made by our employees and the company for the greater good. We remain steadfast about doing the right things for our customers, partners, investors, fellow employees, and communities. Together we’re making a brighter future.

President and CEO of Nutanix
