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

Tyler is committed to continuously improving the accuracy of our sustainability reporting. We make restatements of historical data if any reporting errors or refinements to calculation methodology result in changes that meet the significance threshold defined in our Inventory Management Plan.¹ The restatements we make are primarily due to improvements in data processing, calculation methodology, and best practices for GHG accounting. In 2026, three metrics have been restated due to an improvement in our Scope 3 emissions calculation methodology, including Category 1 (Purchased goods and services), Category 6 (Business travel), and Category 8 (Upstream leased assets) emissions.

As such, we are restating our 2024 and 2023 Scope 3 emissions (Categories 1, 6, and 8) to reflect an improvement in our calculation methodology. The changes to our 2024 inventory include:

• 46.2% reduction in Scope 3 Category 1 emissions,
• 0.3% increase in Scope 3 Category 6 emissions,
• 6.4% reduction in Scope 3 Category 8 emissions,
• 28.3% reduction in total Scope 3 emissions, and
• 24.5% change to our entire 2024 emissions footprint.

The changes to our 2023 inventory include:

• 2.7% reduction in Scope 3 Category 1 emissions,
• 0.1% increase in Scope 3 Category 6 emissions,
• 56.3% reduction in Scope 3 Category 8 emissions,
• 25.1% reduction in total Scope 3 emissions, and
• 21.6% change to our entire 2023 emissions footprint.

1. An Inventory Management Plan is a document that includes 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 GHG emissions accounting and reporting standard. Within Tyler’s Inventory Management Plan, the significance threshold for a restatement of our GHG emissions is defined as a collective 5% impact on our previous reported values.
2. Travel emissions included air travel and hotel stay and were calculated using a vendor-provided calculation (without radiative forcing).
3. Data included cloud-based emissions.
4. Data excluded cloud-based emissions.
5. Emissions included air travel only.
6. Emissions were calculated with radiative forcing.
7. Tyler completed the acquisition of NIC in mid-2021, which represented Tyler’s largest acquisition to date. Primary data for NIC was not available; therefore, our 2021 results with NIC were estimated using intensity metrics to reflect the acquisition.

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.

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.

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.
