IT systems powered by renewable energy, By transitioning our information technology (“IT”) systems to cloud-based platforms, our IT workload is being delivered more efficiently and by systems that are increasingly powered by renewable energy. Under our Cloud First program, more than 95% of our IT systems reside in the cloud, with approximately two-thirds of these systems supported by Microsoft Azure’s cloud-based infrastructure. Microsoft has announced its commitment to sustainable business practices, including shifting Azure’s power supply to 100% renewable energy by 2025.

Korn Ferry has established recycling programs for toner cartridges and other forms of e-waste.
Through our partnerships with Xerox and Staples in the United States, we recycle used toner cartridges from our printers and copier machines.
