Planting Trees, Reducing Impact
In 2022, we took our first step toward reducing our impact by planting 34 trees, helping offset part of our CO₂ footprint and reducing an estimated 850 kg of CO₂ annually.
Our vision on
sustainability
and impact
Digital infrastructure should support the future, not compromise it. Sustainability is not an afterthought. It is a core principle in how we design, build and operate open source cloud environments. As cloud-native engineers, we take responsibility for reducing unnecessary resource use, bringing transparency into IT energy consumption and enabling sustainable innovation.
What we do
Sustainable cloud starts with visibility.
Modern cloud environments are powerful, but complexity comes at a cost. Idle resources, outdated workloads and oversized clusters consume energy, inflate budgets and grow your carbon footprint. With regulations like CSRD tightening and energy prices rising, sustainable IT is a business imperative.
That is why we put sustainability at the core of what we do, not as a checkbox, but as an integrated part of modern cloud operations. By bringing energy and efficiency metrics into your monitoring stack, we surface hidden waste and turn insight into measurable impact. No jargon, no greenwashing, just clear steps and honest progress.

Supporting Research in the Oosterschelde
By supporting Stichting Rugvin, we contribute to research on porpoises in the Oosterschelde. A hydrophone buoy records underwater sounds, which are analyzed with AI to better understand and protect marine life.
Giving Technology a Second Life
We supported IT4Kids by donating IT equipment and funds, including 20 notebooks, printers, monitors, and a phone raising €1,450 to help create accessible sports opportunities for children facing financial or physical barriers.
A Small Gesture of Warmth
We created Christmas arrangements and donated them to two care homes in Baarn, bringing a small gesture of warmth during the holiday season.
Cleaning the Coast Together
After celebrating our 20-year anniversary at the coast, we cleaned the beach at Wijk aan Zee, collecting around 120 kilograms of waste.
Working Together in the Garden
We volunteered at Volkstuinvereniging Baarn, clearing weeds and tidying plots to prepare the gardens for winter and the next growing season.
Technology for More Conscious Choices
During an internal hackathon, we explored sustainable concepts using Home Assistant, turning real-time energy data into clear insights that help make energy use more visible and actionable.

Understanding our impact
Understanding our impact starts with measuring it. In our 2024 greenhouse gas emissions report, we transparently document our footprint across scopes 1, 2, and 3, based on internationally recognized standards.
The report provides insight into where our emissions come from today and helps guide the choices we need to make tomorrow, from reduction to long term responsibility.
