FICO is committed to creating value for businesses, consumers and society.
Our Sustainable Enterprise Initiative is aimed at reducing our carbon footprint through the use of cloud computing, virtualization and other advanced technologies that enable us to conserve energy and natural resources. We are executing a plan begun in 2008 to reduce the energy consumption of our IT infrastructure by 50% and our paper consumption by 80% by 2010. We encourage our employees, our clients and our partners to contribute ideas to this initiative. FICO is a member of The Green Grid (www.thegreengrid.org), a global consortium dedicated to developing and promoting energy efficiency for data centers. For more information on the FICO's Sustainable Enterprise Initiative, read the Insights white paper "Best Practices in Green IT."
As part of our commitment to consumer empowerment, we provide free information on how FICO® scores work at www.myfico.com. We partner with banks and such organizations as the Federal Citizens Info Center and the Consumer Federation of America to help people understand how credit scoring works. And we have created programs that our banking clients can use to provide FICO® scores free to their customers on their monthly statements.
