We engage our original equipment manufacturing partners to identify opportunities to reduce the inputs needed to produce high quality, reliable products while integrating recycled materials where possible. We are also developing strategies with our supplier partners to repurpose and recycle certain components to contribute to a more sustainable supply chain.

Our 2025 Sustainability Report
We are proud to share our 2025 Sustainability Report, showcasing how energy intelligence translates into real climate impact. As we present our third annual report, we demonstrate our first GRI-aligned disclosures and deepened alignment with established frameworks including TCFD, SASB, GHG Protocol, and UN SDGs. Read the full 2025 Sustainability Report for the data behind the story.
Read Our Sustainability ReportOur Environmental Impact
Stem's environmental impact operates on two levels: how we run our own operations, and what our platform enables for the world, and it's the second where our impact is greatest.
Every gigawatt the PowerTrack platform helps optimize is a gigawatt performing more efficiently and reliably, displacing fossil generation and strengthening the grids our customers depend on. In 2025, we took an important step toward putting a number to that impact, publishing our first verified, GRI-aligned avoided emissions disclosure.
We hold our own operations to that same standard of accountability. As Stem has continued its shift to a software-first business, our operational footprint has moved with it, falling steadily even as the scale of what we manage keeps growing. We report both sides of that story, the emissions we help customers avoid and the footprint of running our own business, with the same transparency and rigor.

Our Social Impact
Stem's people are the intelligence behind our intelligence. They’re the engineers, energy experts, and field teams whose operational experience is what makes our platform what it is today. Across six countries, our team brings together deep expertise in software, energy management, and customer success, united by a shared mission to help clean energy assets perform at their full potential.
In 2025, we continued investing in the people who make that possible, from expanded learning and AI literacy programs to well-being initiatives and a culture of recognition that reinforces the values we operate by. A workforce that trusts Stem, and trusts each other, is what lets us be the reliable partner our customers count on.

Our Governance Impact
Trust isn't something Stem asks for; it's something we build through consistent, transparent governance. Our Board of Directors, who are independent, engaged, and supported by a dedicated Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, provides direct oversight of our sustainability strategy, climate-related risk, and long-term value creation.
That same discipline extends through the business: a Code of Conduct every employee is trained on, a confidential whistleblower channel that lets people raise concerns without fear, and rigorous data privacy and security practices that protect the customers and partners who depend on us. Good governance isn't a checkbox for Stem; it's the foundation that lets a reliable platform be a trustworthy one.

Committed to Driving Global Decarbonization
Stem is a crucial participant in global decarbonization efforts, delivering AI-powered solutions and services that maximize the value of renewable energy assets worldwide. Our integrated PowerTrack™ platform and comprehensive managed services enable customers to unlock the full potential of their clean energy portfolios.
Through advanced control capabilities, including frequency management and voltage support, we enable higher renewable energy utilization rates, reduce curtailment, and provide clean energy during peak demand periods when grid emissions are typically highest.
Our platform delivers critical grid services that support stability, especially as renewable penetration increases, while reducing operating expenses and improving energy production, proving that environmental responsibility and economic performance go hand-in-hand.
We’re not just managing energy assets. We’re unlocking energy intelligence that accelerates the global transition to sustainable power.
Supporting the Circular Economy
Asset Management
Our industry-leading asset management software enhances the operational lifetime value of our customers’ solar, storage, and hybrid projects by using our nearly two decades of operational experience to predict hardware issues, dispatch maintenance, and repair systems to extend their useful life.
Second Life
We use best practices to architect and select systems for use after their end-of-life. We train our employees, educate our customers, and engage our partners with respect to decommissioning, end-of-life considerations, and second life options that include reusing and recycling hardware.
Recycling
We promote recycling and preventing waste from our business operations through active compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. We work with Battery Recyclers of America to certify that applicable material – including Lithium-Ion and Polymer batteries – are appropriately recycled in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
