Our Impact

Tyler is committed to conserving natural resources through facilitating sustainable behavior. Our operational focus areas include energy efficiency, renewable energy procurement, water conservation, and waste minimization. Our Environmental Task Force, comprised of multiple facility managers representing our divisional headquarters, organizes its work across three foundational pillars addressing our operational focus areas:

Emissions and Energy

Each year, Tyler Technologies measures our GHG emissions and energy consumption. We actively seek ways to reduce our carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and transition toward renewable energy resources where available. Our 2024 emissions (in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent [MT CO2e]) and energy usage (in megawatt-hours [MWh]) are summarized below:

Tyler’s greenhouse gas inventory is conducted in accordance with the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s (WBCSD’s) GHG Protocol, including the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition), the Scope 2 Guidance and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard.

Emissions Table Footnotes:

1. Restatements of historical data due to calculation corrections and changes in accounting methodology are only made if the resulting changes meet significance thresholds as defined in Tyler’s Inventory Management Plan.^a  The restatements are primarily the result of improvements in data processing, calculation methodology, and industry best practices. Tyler is committed to continuously improving the accuracy of our sustainability reporting. In 2025 the following metrics have been restated due to improved calculation methodology: Scope 3 emissions in Category 1 (Purchased goods and services), Category 2 (capital goods), and Category 4 (Upstream transportation and distribution).

^aAn Inventory Management Plan is a methodology document that provides guidance related to the methodology used by Tyler to calculate and maintain our GHG emissions inventory across our operations. The methodology within this document has been written in accordance with the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a global corporate accounting and reporting standard. The significance threshold for restatement of GHG emissions is defined as 5% within the Inventory Management Plan.

• 12.6% reduction in Scope 3 Category 1 emissions,
• 8.7% reduction in Scope 3 Category 2 emissions,
• 5.1% reduction in Scope 3 Category 4 emissions,
• 56.6% reduction in Scope 3 Category 7 emissions,
• 15.2% reduction in total Scope 3 emissions, and
• 13.1% change to our entire 2023 emissions footprint.

2. Travel emissions include air travel and hotel stay and were calculated using a vendor-provided calculation (without radiative forcing).

3. Includes cloud-based emissions

4. Excluding cloud emissions

5. Emissions include air travel only

6. Emissions calculated with radiative forcing

7. Tyler completed the acquisition of NIC in mid-2021, Tyler’s largest acquisition to date. Primary data for NIC was not available; therefore, our 2021 results with NIC are estimated using intensity metrics to reflect the acquisition.

Water and Waste

Tyler’s water and waste impacts are relatively small compared to many other sectors. In 2022, we updated our methodology to estimate and calculate water withdrawals and discharges. This resulted in significant changes to water discharges compared to what we reported in prior years. Due to the significant changes in 2022, we applied the same methodology for our historical data. In 2023, we continued to evaluate our water reporting calculation methodologies and data collection.

Our continuing transition to the public cloud introduces challenges in accounting for water withdrawals and discharges related to our data centers. Currently, water metrics are not available.

Mixed solid waste metrics are not currently available. We will continue to assess reporting mixed solid waste metrics in the future.

Recycled waste increased in 2022 due to beginning a program to compost food waste at one of our larger sites. We expected this would also result in a similar decrease in waste to landfill at this site but could not reflect this in 2022 as we did not receive actual data for all waste to landfill and instead estimated the data.

These published environmental data may vary from previously reported values, due to adjustments for acquisitions, updated guidance and emissions factors, improved data collection, and/or data remediation. As Tyler is continually working to strengthen our data collection and quality, we will maintain transparency about our efforts and prepare for future third-party verification toward more accurate reporting.

Please note our currently published environmental data has not undergone third-party verification.

Tyler Technologies is invested in the management and reporting of e-waste, which is material to our industry and impacts the environment and our operations. The scope of the 2023 e-waste metrics were expanded to account for an acquisition that was completed in 2021, leading to significant changes to e-waste numbers compared to previous years.
