Environmental Goals

2021-2023 GOALS

• Reduce absolute emissions by 10%
• Reduce water consumption by 5%

ViewRay has set a five-year goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 10 percent compared with the benchmark year of 2020. This goal is based on the climate goal of the United Nations to reduce global warming to significantly below 2 degrees Celsius. According to scientific studies, it will be necessary to cut back net emissions of global greenhouse gases to zero by 2060. This calculates to a reduction of 2.2 percent per year on average from 2015 onward. ViewRay is committed to this goal and would like to make an appropriate contribution.

We are engaged in an ongoing effort to attract, retain, and develop a diverse team ready for the challenge a growth company presents. We believe diversity and inclusion are more than just words – they are fundamental to ViewRay’s shared values, which put Teammates at the center of all we do. We believe that we successfully attract and retain a qualified team in a highly competitive market due, in large part, to our strong culture, rewarding work environment, competitive compensation and benefits, and by encouraging continuous professional development.
