SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- After the pledge Globant (NYSE: GLOB) made to move to renewable energy in 2020, the company announced today that it will become carbon neutral by the end of 2021. Globant has committed to neutralize its emissions in 2021 by investing in innovative projects and taking its environmental stewardship to the next level.

"We are conscious of our environmental footprint, and we will continue working to reduce it, and to support projects that remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere".
