How We're Building the Cloud of the Future

Our consistent efforts to improve our sustainability are focused on several key areas.

Optimized Data Center Operations


We're proud to operate many Data Centers with excellent power usage effectiveness ratios. This is achieved through ground water cooling, free-air cooling and continuous energy efficiency improvements. Moving forward, our newly-built European Data Center aims to be best-in-class in sustainability, thanks to an efficient infrastructure designed for our needs, free-air cooling and solar panels producing on-site renewable energy.

Energy Efficient Hardware


The relationship between energy efficiency and performance is something we look at very carefully when deciding on which hardware to use in our Data Centers. That's exactly why we choose CPU models that have best-in-class performance to efficiency ratios.

Certified Green Power and Renewable Energy


As a Data Center operator, we understand that as much as we optimize, we will still always consume energy. This is why we choose to procure green energy for our Data Centers. In 2023, our certified green power came from various sources such as wind, hydro and solar. As we grow, we are committed to further increasing the share of renewable and green energy across all of our locations around the globe.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

 In 2023 we worked hard on completing our first official greenhouse gas inventory. This is extremely important to us, since understanding our baseline is the first step in order to set up targets and work towards decarbonizing our business. We will continue to do this exercise annually to track our progress and increase understanding of our emissions trends.
