Recognition Highlights Blackbaud's Measurable Efforts to Reduce Environmental Impact and Advance Sustainability

CHARLESTON, S.C., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading provider of AI-powered solutions for social impact, announced today that it has been named one of the World's Greenest Companies 2026 by Newsweek and Plant A Insights Group.

The ranking recognizes the top 850 publicly listed companies across 28 countries for their environmental sustainability performance. GIST Impact and Plant-A Insights Group developed the ranking through a comprehensive analysis of self-disclosed data, evaluating over 8,000 organizations to determine the final selection.

"Blackbaud exists to power social impact, and that responsibility doesn't stop at the products we build," said Margaret "Maggie" Driscoll, chief people and culture officer, Blackbaud. "As we deliver cutting edge technology that helps nonprofits and social impact organizations further their missions, we're taking a responsible, people-first approach to building AI that's intentional about where and how this technology is used as part of our wider commitment to sustainability and stewardship. Being named one of the World's Greenest Companies two years running is proof that our values aren't just words. They show up in our culture, our decisions, and our commitment to the customers we serve. This recognition belongs to every person at Blackbaud who has made sustainability a priority."

Companies were evaluated and scored on more than 25 parameters across four categories: Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Water Usage, Waste Generation, and Sustainability Data Disclosure and Commitments.

"Our planet's future demands collective, immediate action from every sector," said Jennifer H. Cunningham, Newsweek's editor-in-chief. "By spotlighting the World's Greenest Companies, we celebrate the corporate leaders proving that environmental responsibility is not just a moral obligation, but a cornerstone of sustainable, forward-thinking business in today's changing global economy."

Blackbaud's commitment to environmental sustainability centers on responsible operations and measurable progress toward decarbonization. In 2025, Blackbaud achieved carbon neutrality across its business operations for the fifth consecutive year and continued to reduce the environmental footprint of its operations through remote‑flexible work, energy efficient facilities, and ongoing investments in energy and water conservation.
