ESG at Teradata
At Teradata, we believe that people thrive when empowered with better information. It’s the insights gathered, not simply the data collected, that enable sound ESG decision-making—not only for Teradata but also for our customers.
Our four ESG pillars
The foundation of our ESG strategy

Data
Leveraging the power of data
