Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) at Dun & Bradstreet
Reducing the impact our operations have on the environment
As a global provider of business intelligence, Dun & Bradstreet recognizes the critical role that we play in addressing the environmental challenges facing our planet. We are committed to doing our part in protecting the environment to ensure a livable and prosperous world for generations to come.

Sustainability from Our Solutions to Supply Chain
Dun & Bradstreet is dedicated to engaging with suppliers and vendors that use progressive and environmentally friendly products, materials, and technology to advance sustainability across the organization. We use our Risk Analytics solution in the vendor selection process to assess the environmental risks of a potential supplier, a significant factor we account for in the consideration of companies we engage with. When creating any product or service, Dun & Bradstreet factors in the environmental and social impacts from design to deployment. This includes using energy efficient data services for hosting, storing, and distributing our products. For more information, read our Product Governance & Sustainability Policy Statement.
Reducing Data Center and Office Emissions
We are currently transitioning to a multi-cloud data center solution to reduce our carbon footprint associated with data processing and storage. We also prioritize sustainability in the design and selection of our office locations. Our Jacksonville, Florida headquarters has been ENERGY STAR certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 2020.
Making the World a Greener Place, One Tree at a Time
Dun & Bradstreet has committed to support the planting of 19,600 trees through Grow Trees, an India-based organization that will create more than 1,600 days of employment within rural communities. These trees, when mature, will potentially offset more than 390,000 kgs of CO2 annually. Since the program began last year, we have planted more than 4,300 trees to express our gratitude to individuals who demonstrate excellence in support of our business and the community.
