Reducing our carbon footprint

We take responsibility for climate protection

Cloud services require energy. We ensure that this energy contributes as little as possible to CO₂ emissions. All our data centers and our office therefore use 100% environmentally friendly green electricity and no CO₂offset certificates. In our office, we also save energy through smart radiators and the exclusive use of LED lighting. Flexible working from home also saves travel. By avoiding waste, using reusable systems and changing our mobility behavior, we are also constantly working to further optimize our eco-balance.

Cloud solutions increase eco-efficiency in two ways.

In our data centers, we rely on modern, energy-efficient hardware with low waste heat. Cloud hosting is based on virtualized systems or container technology. This technology contributes to a much better utilization of the hardware than dedicated servers. Thus, we save significant energy compared to traditional IT infrastructure.

By working together via our own cloud services, we also save energy, as employees can work together flexibly, regardless of location and without paper. This saves a considerable amount of travel and other resources such as paper and printer supplies.

What we have already achieved

100% green power

All data centers and our office are powered exclusively by certified green electricity, which greatly reduces CO₂ emissions.

No flights within Europe

We have gradually reduced the number of business flights to zero since 2015. We exclusively use the train for necessary business trips.

Flexible working

Our employees largely have the option of working from home. This saves the trip to the office and reduces CO₂ emissions.

95% less paper

Thanks to digital workflows and digital invoicing, we have been able to reduce our paper consumption by 95% since 2015.

Reduce waste

We avoid packaging where we can and prefer to use reusable systems, e.g. for beverages. The remaining waste is disposed of separately.

Smart heating & LED lights

All office radiators were retrofitted with Smart Home thermostats and all lighting was converted to LED. This saves around 20% energy per year.
