For over 25 years, Fortinet has helped secure the digital world. As cyberthreats evolve, so does our responsibility to protect people, organizations, and society. In 2025, we expanded AI-driven threat protection across our portfolio, introduced quantum-safe capabilities in our FortiOS operating system, and supported global cybercrime disruption initiatives.We also improved product energy efficiency and expanded access to cybersecurity education worldwide.
Reflecting on how these efforts strengthen trust, resilience, and long-term value for our customers, partners, and communities, today we released the 2025 Sustainability Report, outlining progress in securing the digital world, reducing environmental impact through energy-efficiency products and operations, expanding access to cybersecurity education, and strengthening responsible business practices.
Key Highlights from the 2025 Sustainability Report
Fortinet’s sustainability strategy focuses on four areas:
1. Securing the digital world
In 2025, Fortinet advanced cybersecurity innovation to support customers and contribute to broader efforts against cybercrime.
We contributed to global cybercrime disruption through collaboration and coordinated action, supporting INTERPOL-led Operation Serengeti 2.0, which disrupted more than 11,400 malicious infrastructures and led to over 1,200 cybercriminal arrests.
We also expanded quantum-safe capabilities in FortiOS, including Post-Quantum Cryptography, hybrid encryption, and Quantum Key Distribution, to help organizations prepare for emerging cryptographic risks.
2. Minimizing environmental footprint
Fortinet continues to reduce environmental impact through product innovation and operational efficiency.
In 2025, we enhanced product energy efficiency, achieving up to a 62% reduction in energy consumption for select products compared with the previous generation.
Fortinet became the first cybersecurity company to publish Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its networking and security products, providing transparent environmental data across product lifecycles.
3. Empowering people and communities
Expanding access to cybersecurity education remains a cornerstone of Fortinet’s social impact strategy.
