Being mindful of our impact

Our Environmental Footprint 

TradeStation's environmental footprint includes our office square footage, maintaining energy-efficient facilities and data centers, and our ongoing efforts to reduce waste. We service our customers entirely online, with no need to maintain client-facing branches. Our culture is also one that effectively fosters virtual collaboration, reducing the need for business travel for internal and external meetings. 

As part of our TradeStation Cares initiative we partner with Heal the Planet to participate in beach cleanups in areas like Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In 2024 we were part of 420 volunteers who removed 504 pounds of trash from beaches in the area. 

Energy-Efficient Office Space 

Our energy conservation efforts start with our facilities. All our buildings are leased, with our Chicago office being our first LEED certified facility. However, we still do have some control over the "green" features of these buildings. For example, our headquarters feature green technologies including lighting control systems incorporating LED technology and other energy management systems, as well as recycling programs. 

Energy-Efficient Data Centers 

Our data centers are managed externally by third-party providers which are continually employing new technologies and increasing their use of renewable energy sources. Energy usage from Equinix, the largest source of our data center emissions, is 100% offset by renewable energy wind credits (latest report as of 2024). In addition, two other of our primary cloud providers, AWS and Azure, are working towards powering their operations with 100% renewable energy.
