Our mission

Climate-neutral hosting

IONOS is committed to keeping our infrastructure climate-neutral and free of environmental trade-offs. If you host with us or rely on our cloud or server products, your business can reduce its impact on the climate.

How? We use a mix of local, renewable energy sources, carbon offset certificates and other initiatives to neutralize our CO₂ emissions.

And we continuously improve the efficiency of our data centers. New servers are built with the most energy-efficient technologies possible, and recycled or disposed of properly at the end of their service lives.

From energy sourcing to the supply chain, sustainability plays a key role in our decision-making processes.

Minimizing CO₂

Green energy whenever and wherever

Giving back to the grid

Business trips

Remote work and fossil-free travel

All our energy-efficient offices are equipped for high-end video conferencing and virtual meetings. This ensures cross-country collaboration — without the need for cross-country travel.

When traveling is a must, train is preferred. We also encourage carpooling, offer subsidies for employees who cycle to work, and provide dedicated parking for electric vehicles.

Recycling

Reducing our carbon footprint

Once our servers have reached the end of their service life, they are recycled and disposed of appropriately.

In 2022, the United Interne Group recycled 124.1 tons of hardware, reducing our CO₂ footprint by over 269 tons.

Employees are also encouraged to play their part by recycling at work.
