How we protect our planet
Sustainable facilities
Where we work is important. We focus on increasing the share of renewable sources used in our offices, and implement a smart use of our resources.
- 100% of our offices separate waste and recycle
- 90% of our offices use automation to cool and heat buildings with timers and thermostats
- 95% reduction in paper use – we have drastically reduced the use of printers between 2019 and 2022, and kept the numbers down in 2023
Transport
ESET is striving to be accountable and transparent – we voluntarily include our employees‘ commutes and working from home figures in our carbon footprint. We will focus on implementing new best practices in car fleet, business trips, and employee awareness.
- 247 employees participated in a regular global Bike to Work 2024 campaign to support ecological mobility
- 4,160 journeys were registered by employees during the 2024 campaign, in total it makes 25,667 kilometers walked and cycled
- 150 g/km is the specific emission limit enforced when purchasing new passenger vehicles
Energy efficiency and hardware
We’re an IT company – we rely on hardware, so we take care of it. We focus on efficient IT equipment, decreasing e-waste and using sustainable data centers.
- External data centers have near-zero emissions in 2023 with 100% renewable energy

Progress in the physical world
Our new headquarters in Central Europe will become a global center of excellence for digital security, AI and innovation.
Redeveloped urban site
We are redeveloping an urban site and creating a living place that will turn this part of the city into an epicenter of innovation and creativity in Bratislava. In addition to the new headquarters and ESET's global research center, the Campus will create a unique and stimulating environment for IT and technology companies and startups, and connect them with technically oriented universities.
Sustainable technology and materials
We will ensure that our Campus houses the latest technologies, clever and efficient solutions to achieve the highest levels of sustainability.
The highest environmental standards
We will aim for a carbon neutral campus operation, but we’ve got an ambition to also reduce the embodied carbon by building it in the most sustainable way possible.
Water conservation techniques
Water conservation techniques are a crucial aspect of the plans for our Campus.
Biodiverse landscape
It's important for us to work with the existing biodiverse landscape to complement the surrounding area.
