FICO Joins The Climate Registry

MINNEAPOLIS—August 19, 2009—In keeping with its commitment to sustainability, FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced that it has become a member of The Climate Registry, a nonprofit collaboration of organizations that sets consistent, transparent standards to calculate, verify and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Through The Climate Registry, FICO can document its own emissions, track subsequent reductions and publicly share the independently verified data, using rigorous protocols consistent with international standards. The move advances FICO's Sustainable Enterprise Initiative, a company-wide program designed to reduce its carbon footprint through energy and natural resource conservation, while also delivering operational savings.

“With our membership in The Climate Registry, we join like-minded leaders committed to taking action now to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change,” said Laurent Pacalin, chief marketing officer at FICO and co-founder of the Cleantech Open. “FICO is making significant reductions in its footprint, and as a next step, we’re focused on documenting and reporting our ongoing progress.”

The Climate Registry members include Fortune 500 corporations, leading non-profit organizations and government agencies in North America. To view the full list of members, visit www.theclimateregistry.org/members.

"FICO has demonstrated exemplary environmental leadership by taking the critical first step toward analyzing its impact on the environment," said Doug Scott, board chair of The Climate Registry and director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. "In order to manage and reduce emissions, it is important to calculate and verify emissions data accurately. By measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions according to the most rigorous and comprehensive standards, FICO is holding itself to the highest level of accountability and responsibility."

FICO's sustainability efforts are focused on reducing the company's carbon footprint through improving IT efficiency, reducing employee travel and commute miles, and using post-consumer paper products when possible while decreasing overall paper consumption. Taken together, these efforts have significantly lowered FICO's greenhouse gas emissions. The company is on track to reduce its IT energy consumption by 50 percent and printing output by 80 percent by 2010.
