Sustainability Statement

Sustainability is part of our mission. We help our customers make better use of the cloud, and a better cloud is also a greener cloud. Our own footprint as a service company is small. But the impact we create with and for our customers is large.

That is why we treat sustainability as a strategic topic, not as compliance.

GreenOps for our customers​

Across all our services, we offer GreenOps to track and reduce the carbon footprint of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 environments. Concretely, this means:

  • Identifying unused or oversized cloud resources so they can be shut down or right-sized
  • Selecting Azure regions with a high share of renewable energy
  • Surfacing the carbon impact of architectural choices, not just the cost
  • Reporting CO₂ alongside cost in our recommendations

When a customer reduces cloud waste by 20 percent through our advice, the CO₂ saving is many times larger than our entire company footprint. This is the leverage we focus on.

Our own position​

We pursue the goal of Net Zero by 2030.

The biggest lever is reduction, not compensation. Compensation makes sense for unavoidable residual emissions, but it does not replace the obligation to actively reduce our own emissions.

What we measure​

We track our CO₂ footprint following the Greenhouse Gas Protocol across all three scopes:

  • Scope 1, direct emissions: close to zero, since we have no vehicle fleet and no own heating systems
  • Scope 2, electricity: low, since our office in the Switzerland Innovation Park draws a high share of renewable energy
  • Scope 3, indirect emissions: this is where our main focus lies. We track business travel, cloud use, hardware procurement, and purchased services. Commuting is not yet systematically captured. We will add it by the end of 2026.

The footprint is updated annually.

What we do​

  • Mindful mobility. Public transport is our default for business travel. We avoid domestic flights. Travel is questioned critically. Many meetings work just as well in Teams. When we travel, we travel with purpose.
  • Renewable energy in the cloud. We choose Azure regions with a high share of renewable energy. For our production Platform, this means Switzerland North and Switzerland West, which run to a large extent on hydropower and other renewable sources.
  • Shared office instead of owned space. Our location in the Switzerland Innovation Park means shared infrastructure. Heating, electricity, cleaning, and sanitation are shared with other tenants. This is significantly more efficient than running our own office space.
  • Paperless work. We have no printer in the office, no fax machine, no physical filing. Contracts are signed electronically. Documents live in Microsoft 365 or in our own platforms. This saves paper, storage, and the trips needed to move documents around.
  • Durable hardware. We use devices longer instead of replacing them early. Refurbished devices are an option for standard workstations where security and performance allow.

Where we offset​

For unavoidable residual emissions, primarily business travel and parts of our cloud use, we currently offset partially through certified projects. With 2030 in view, we extend offsetting step by step, with the goal of covering all non-reducible emissions.

For us, offsetting always sits behind reduction. A tonne not emitted is worth more than a tonne offset.

Social and ethics​

Sustainability is more than CO₂. Our Code of Conduct covers social topics such as fair compensation, diversity, learning, and ethical behaviour. These aspects are equally part of sustainability for us. They concern the people who make our company.

Transparency, not marketing​

We communicate about sustainability as it really is, without green exaggeration. We name numbers when we have them. We name gaps where they exist. We do not yet track commuting data. We write that down rather than hiding it.

Changes to this statement​

We update this document annually with new footprint figures, and whenever our practice changes materially. The current version is always available at this URL.
