Going green, growing together: Introducing Okta's partner sustainability badge
Sustainability isn’t just good for the planet; it’s good for business. With 66% of Fortune 500 companies committing to climate goals, sustainability has become an important driver of growth and customer trust. At Okta, we’re committed to helping our partners thrive while tackling climate change. That’s why we’re launching the Okta Elevate Sustainability Badge — a recognition of your progress toward creating a greener future.
