Investing in the Future: MAQ Software Commits to Reducing Carbon Emissions by 55% by 2030

Redmond, WA, August 13, 2021 – Investing in sustainability means investing in the future, which is why in January 2021, MAQ Software officially announced its sustainability strategy and bold new sustainability goals. With Microsoft announcing its intention to be carbon negative by 2030, the tech industry has quickly fallen in line with a new, green strategy for the upcoming decade.

Today, MAQ Software affirms its investment in green initiatives by launching its sustainability web page. The page outlines the company’s sustainability initiatives, timeline, and goals. MAQ Software’s sustainability goals including migrating all facilities to renewable energy by 2030, becoming carbon neutral by 2025, becoming carbon negative by 2030, and reducing overall carbon emissions by 55% by 2030. The company’s sustainability strategy consists of a two-part approach that focuses on reducing carbon emissions and investing in carbon offsets or removal programs.

To achieve its goals in the set timeline, MAQ Software has also outlined five guiding sustainability principles and yearly micro-goals. The principles are:

1.    Ground our goals in science and math

2.    Invest in green energy

3.    Reduce and remove

4.    Transparent tracking

5.    One global (green) team

MAQ Software’s 2021 goal is centered around awareness, which includes the public launch of its sustainability strategy and website, and tracking its carbon emissions via the CDP, an international non-profit that helps companies and cities disclose their environmental impact.
