Solve important customer problemswith delightful solutions that helplead to a sustainable community.CEO Brad Smith approved Intuit Green’s firstset of goals and strategies, and we set to work.That same year, Intuit founder Scottcustomers be more sustainable. As a result,Intuit employee Tom Cushna created IntuitFreecycle, which became Freecycle@Work.We focused on employee engagement bystarting—and quickly expanding-—ourGreen Team program. Employees formed newGreen Teams almost every month in 2008and the early part of 2009. Members gotinvolved and learned about Intuit’s Greenefforts and the environment in general. Thatyear, more than 4,000 employees attendedEarth Day activities at 20 Intuit sites.We have been steadily broadening thefocus of our program.

Sustainability in OperationsIn fiscal year 2012, Intuit Green plans to continue our successful initiatives and beginseveral new projects. We’ll continue reporting our sustainability practices in more detail,more frequently. We’ll continue to update company policies and procedures to includemore support for sustainability. We’re working toward making sustainability an imperativein decision-making. We’ll continue looking for energy conservation opportunities.We’ll increase the amount of renewable energy we use for our various facilities.Since 2006, Intuit has conducted an annual GHG emissions inventory that enablesus to determine the environmental impact of our operations and calculate Scope1, 2 and 3 totals (including those from our supply chain). This level of comprehensivequantification has increased our awareness of our impact, and allowed us tostrategically plan to reduce our environmental footprint. In the sections below, you’llsee a more detailed breakdown of some of the most important GHG categories.Intuit GHG Emissions FY07-FY10 in MtCO2eIntuit 2011 Corporate Sustainability Report7
Electricity Usage and Associated GHG EmissionsFor the past five years, Intuit has collected facility and data center electricity usagestatistics for most of our largest facilities. However, we still use estimates from timeto time to completely quantify our electricity usage and assess our greenhouse gasemissions. Since 2008, we have reduced our energy usage by conducting energy audits,installing automated lighting control mechanisms, using automated heating/ventilatingcontrols and timers, and by deploying LEED approved practices into our facilities.In addition, our IT department has drastically reduced our data center footprint throughconsolidation and co-location. We shifted some of our data center operations to a facility inQuincy, Wash., that is powered by renewable energy. More than 90 percent of its electricitycomes from hydropower. Moving forward, we plan to continue to reduce energy-relatedGHG emissions through energy efficiency, renewable energy and green building projects.Intuit has made steady improvements in our overall electricity usage compared to thegrowth in revenue for the company. Since 2007, we’ve reduced our facility electricityusage on an annual basis. However, our overall electricity usage has increased alongwith an increase in data center electricity usage. Our Data Center Operations personnelare working diligently to increase efficiency in operations and are looking at industryleading strategies to maintain electricity usage in line with our overall energy usage.Electricity Usage in MWHData Centers:Facilities:Intuit 2011 Corporate Sustainability Report8
Reducing WasteSince 2008, we’ve collected data about the waste the company generates. Every year,we expand the number of categories of waste and the number of participating sites.In 2011 we collected waste data for Intuit facilities in five different states. We haveshared this data in the chart below. We will continue to focus on expanding datacollection with the caveat that we’ll have to estimate from our mixed tenant buildings.Waste Generated in FY11 at Selected Facilities (in pounds)AZ Mixed RecyclingAZ TrashCA BatteriesCA CardboardCA CompostCA Confidential PaperCA Mixed RecyclingCA MiscellaneousCA TonerCA TrashNV Mixed RecyclingNV TrashOntario Mixed RecyclingOntario TrashTX Mixed RecyclingTX TrashImproving Water EfficiencyWe’re attempting to collect Intuit’s water usage data. We’ve made some progress,but before we can report the data we need to collect more and confirm its accuracy.As we have collected our water usage data, we’ve made several improvements toimprove water efficiency, such as using low-flow faucets and urinals, and turning offfountains and climate-controlled irrigation. In the near future, we expect to use reclaimedwastewater for some our landscaping at our headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.Intuit 2011 Corporate Sustainability Report9
Supply ChainIntuit’s supply chain accounted for 21 percent of our carbon footprint in 2008. It produced5,500 tons of waste that year—the equivalent of 1,600 dumpsters. Since then, our reductionefforts helped us reduce emissions by 5 percent from the product, packaging and marketingmaterials we source, make and ship to our retail partners and direct fulfillment customers.Greenhouse GasManagementGreenhouse Gas Goal:Reduce Emissions by 15 PercentIn 2007, we measured our greenhouseToday, we’re focused on the following areas:gas emissions.

Renewable EnergyEnergy from BuildingsIntuit has been exploring renewable energy options at our key sites in the United States.Intuit has six buildings in CaliforniaAfter reaching out to different renewable energy providers, building financial models, andthat achieved LEED (Leadership inpitching several options to senior management, the team finally found a winner.

This was one of the reasons why,of all our sites across the United States, the per KWH cost for Woodland Hills was the highest.The Intuit Facilities team actively tracksthe following efficiency projects: Thermostat adjustments saved1.2 GWH of energy in 2008. Lighting replacements saved1.5 GWH of energy in 2009. Smart Power strips saved 120MWH of energy in 2010. Our HVAC initiative saved 150In February 2011, Intuit’s Workplace Services team met to discuss installing fuel cellsat the Woodland Hills site. After researching options, the team discovered that usingBloom Energy technology would save Intuit .04 per KWH. The gas used to power thefuel cells is cheaper than electricity from the Los Angeles Department of Water andPower, which meant that after state and federal incentives for renewable energy, theBloom Boxes would be better for the environment and cheaper for Intuit.The Bloom Box is a more efficient and cleaner energysolution for two main reasons. First, the box is co-locatednext to the building it powers. This reduces the transmissionloss as electrons move along the grid. Second, the boxesuse either natural gas or biogas to make electricity. Naturalgas burns cleaner than coal, which is a positive, but the real advantage comes from usingbiogas. Biogas is essentially waste gas or methane gas that escapes into the atmospherefrom landfills, which can be captured and used to power fuel cells. At least 75 percent of thefuel that Intuit will use for the first five years of the Bloom Energy fuel cell will be biogas.By using Bloom Energy’s fuel cells, Intuit is significantly reducing its operating costswhile reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Some of Bloom Energy’s other public clientsinclude Bank of America, the Coca-Cola Company, eBay, Federal Express, Google, Staplesand Walmart. The Bloom Boxes will be operational starting October 2012 and the fuelcells will generate 67 percent of the electricity required to power the building.MWH of energy at Intuit MountainView headquarters in 2008. Energy audits have introducedadditional solutions, includingde-lamping and LED lightingIntuit entered four U.S. buildings it occupiesin the ENERGY STAR National BuildingCompetition to reduce energy use as muchas possible over a 12-month period. Allfour buildings started the competition withENERGY STAR scores higher than the nationalaverage, making it difficult to achieve furthergains without spending money on newequipment. Nevertheless, by focusing on lowcost energy management strategies, facilitymanagers reduced energy at the buildingsby 6.6 percent, resulting in an annualenergy savings in excess of 68,000. Theinitiative reduced energy usage by 325,000kilowatt-hours and avoided 189 metric tonsof greenhouse gas emissions annually.In addition, Intuit will install solar panels on one of the main buildings at our Mountain Viewheadquarters. The decision to take advantage of the largest roof area on campus for solar panelsand a solar hot water generator will help this building achieve at least a LEED Silver certification.This project, along with the Bloom Boxes, sends a powerful message to our employees, customers,and shareholders that we are committed to becoming a more sustainable company.Intuit 2011 Corporate Sustainability Report11
