Sustainability: A Core Qualcomm Value
In the early 1990s, the Qualcomm Real Estate and Facilities (QREF) team began incorporating energy saving strategies into all of our buildings. To date, we have completed more than 130 projects that improve energy efficiency and reduce green house gas emissions from our operations.
Solid Growth & Controlled Emissions
As a charter member of the California Climate Action Registry since 2002, Qualcomm has earned the distinction of “Climate Action Leader” for early and voluntary participation in reporting greenhouse gas emissions. Over the last six years, Qualcomm has expanded facilities by 91 percent to accommodate rapid growth, yet our emissions per gross square foot (GSF) of facilities space has remained level due to our continued investment in energy efficient equipment and technologies.
*Figures represent 2007 calendar year for California facilities only; roughly 70 percent of our global square footage.
