Rally Software became a B Corporation because we believe the software industry sits in a great spot to help enable a transition to a more sustainable economy based on Lean and closed-loop models for business that are more balanced with social equity and a more diverse ecology. Based on research reports concerning our increasing accumulation of green house gases, it is mandatory that businesses get to zero carbon footprint by mid-century to enable a “soft landing” that reduces environmental catastrophes. As part of our efforts to battle climate change in our industry, our goal is to have a zero carbon footprint by 2020.

The Change We Seek®

By figuring out the models and processes to make Rally sustainable, we believe we can help lead our industry to a sustainability that is centered around globally distributed development, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Agile/Lean principles and social networking innovations for Internet-based sales and support.

We have two main guiding objectives:

1. Making Rally a Sustainable Company

The first goal is to get our waste per employee benchmarked and compared to other companies and industries. The second goal is to drive the waste per employee at Rally down on a curve toward zero, like Interface. Our third goal is to leverage the right technical advances to accelerate our declining waste all the while sharing our stories, tools and path with our customers and industry.

2. Making the IT Industry Sustainable

Our first goal is to get the SaaS model of building, distributing, and selling software benchmarked against the old enterprise model of shipping software. Our second external goal is to start driving the waste per user of the Rally service down on curve toward zero. Our belief is that a high-tech industry driven by service can become one of the first truly sustainable industries. As a result, we should be in the right position to grow the size of our industry, while helping to develop the innovations necessary for other industries and consumers to become sustainable.
