Earth Day 2026: How Sustainability Comes to Life at Deltek

Caring for the planet is not just a one-day commitment—it’s a daily part of how Team Deltek works and contributes to our communities.

This Earth Day, themed "Our Power, Our Planet," highlights how real environmental progress comes from the actions we take every day. Each of us can make a difference—at home, in our communities, and at work.

At Deltek, employees embody this approach in meaningful ways. Teams across the company regularly follow environmental best practices to support green communities, including waste management and recycling, selecting sustainable products, and adopting energy-saving measures.

We value sustainability and have integrated it into our company culture. Here are some ways we put this value into practice.

Green Choices in Our Offices

Across our offices worldwide, Deltek prioritizes sustainable practices whenever possible—from comprehensive recycling programs and waste‑reduction strategies to increased use of natural lighting and environmentally friendly cleaning products. These choices help reduce our environmental footprint while enhancing our employees' day‑to‑day experience.

Our commitment is evident in locations like our Nottingham office. In October 2025, the space was updated to modernize the environment, emphasizing energy-saving technologies and sustainable design. This refresh showcased Deltek’s dedication to environmental responsibility and community impact through several thoughtful measures, including:

  • LED lighting and motion sensors to reduce energy use
  • Reuse, donation, and recycling of furniture
  • Dedicated recycling stations
  • Sustainable acoustic materials

Together, these efforts demonstrate how our sustainability principles translate from global intention into practical, local action. 

Employees Taking Action

Of course, it’s our employees who drive our winning workplace culture and bring a sustainable mindset to work every day! Here are a few tips and habits they shared:

"Learn your local transit system! Try replacing one trip a month that you would normally take by car with a bus, train, or tram ride instead. You’ll make reducing your vehicle emissions a habit, save gas money, and spend your trip relaxing, reading, or listening to a podcast.” 

Raja Babu

Raja Babu, Principal QC Engineer

"Wherever you go, carry a cloth bag. Keep one in your car, one on your bike, and one at office. Make them a part of your lifestyle, not an afterthought. Start with a bag. Carry the change. Inspire others.” 

Margo Torres

Margo Torres, IT Business Analyst

"From the shampoo in your shower, to the plastic containers in your kitchen, many everyday products contain harmful chemicals that can affect your health and the environment. Switching to natural cleaning products, or making your own, is one way to make safer choices for ourselves and future generations.” 

Cecilie Heide Sørensen

Cecilie Heide Sørensen, Senior HR Specialist

“Set up up your own kitchen garden! If you live in a house, pick a spot that gets sun and get started. If you live in the city, many offer city gardens where you can grow your own vegetables.” 

Becca Harness

Becca Harness, VP & CISO

"One of my favorite green living habits is carrying a small bag on walks and hikes (and scuba diving!) so I can pick up litter along the way. It's a simple, practical way to leave a place better than I found it.”
