Sustainability
Deep commitment
From our earliest days, we have been committed to sustainability - reducing IT components waste, optimizing data center energy consumption, innovating for more efficient cooling systems.
We know this not only benefits the environment but business, too. By striving to be frugal in our design and innovative in IT, we help our ecosystem become increasingly sustainable and strong - minimizing environmental impact and driving up performance. For us, the two go hand in hand.
This approach is reinforced across the European Union, with the recently published Climate Neutral Datacenter Pact, initialized through CISPE (of which we are a founding member). And we want to go further and lead the way at the European level - empowering our ecosystem, clients, partners and employees to keep pushing on to increase cloud sustainability.
Focus areas

Environment
We manage our environmental impact every step of the way, and have ambitious objectives for 2025 and 2030.

Supply chain
We focus on building sustainability into our supply chain. It is part of what makes us different.
