Prioritizing the Planet
Every choice makes an impact. We’re dedicated to putting the planet first every step of the way — from innovation and packaging to first use, reuse, and recycling.
Our Climate Commitments
Going Above and Beyond
for Sustainability
At Sandisk, we believe in doing business the right way. We designed our four ambitious sustainability targets to continue our leadership in this area and set an example for other companies across industries. Through thoughtful planning and meticulous execution, we will make these goals a reality for our customers, our communities, and our team members.
Over 50%
recycled materials
We've made it a priority to create products that use recycled materials.
Products like our SanDisk Ultra Eco-USB incorporates recycled plastic. We also have products that incorporate recycled aluminum like our WD_BLACK P50 Game Drive, My Passport SSD and SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD.
300,000 MWh
power saved
We are always exploring and innovating new ways to reduce power consumption. That’s why, when we focused on improving HDD power efficiency, it resulted in an estimated 300,000 MWh of product-level power savings from 2020-2021. We hold ourselves accountable for our impacts by disclosing annual GHG and water inventories, which are externally verified.
60 Acres
trees saved
We’re dedicated to saving greenspaces, one tree at a time. By reevaluating and redesigning our packaging, we’ve saved 12,000 trees.
Additionally, most paperboard, plastic, and packaging used is recyclable where facilities exist.
45 Tons
Waste removed
Our Thailand team surpassed their goal by more than double, diverting over 45 tons of waste from landfills.
In addition to continually looking at ways to reduce our physical waste, from 2020-2021 we reduced our manufacturing energy intensity by more than 43%.
Relentlessly working to reduce our climate impact. For today. For the planet. For the future.
