Our ecological commitments
By adopting these commitments, the Infomaniak management team and employees have made an undertaking to act in line with the company’s ambitions and to enhance these through new initiatives.
Social and environmental responsibility
1.0 Offset CO2 emissions generated by the company by 200%
Infomaniak offsets the CO2 generated by the company 200% including, for example, the manufacture and disposal (recycling) of servers, electricity production (even renewable), employee transport to their place of work and flights that are necessary for business purposes.
Infomaniak has been certified by the MyClimate organisation for more than 10 years. Created in 2002 at the EPFZ, this Swiss non-profit foundation provides complete services relating to climate protection.
As a green host, Infomaniak currently offsets its carbon footprint by means of a CO2 storage project within a forest reserve in the Swiss Canton of Jura (Soulce Valley, Undervilier). It consists of abandoning use of wood from this reserve. The resulting wood biomass stores CO2, thereby reducing its concentration in the air. Furthermore, not using the wood helps create a habitat for threatened species.
1.1 Make every effort to reduce and optimise energy consumption
Since 2013, an employee has been tasked with managing the company’s energy on a full-time basis. Their objective is to continuously improve the company’s energy performance while strengthening its environmental commitment.
Since 2015, the company has been certified ISO 50'001 (energy management).
The data centers and the employees’ work spaces are subject to strict energy monitoring (see? data centers). Eco-design is taken into account in the development of Infomaniak services and applications and the company enhances the awareness of its customers and partners as well as political actors on this .
Infomaniak won the , awarded by the SIG, thanks to a 20% reduction in its electricity consumption over the course of one year.
1.2 Use electrical power derived solely from renewable sources
The electrical energy used by the company to power its data processing centers and its offices consists of the following:
- 60% of energy from hydroelectric sources (certified 'TUV SUD EE01')
- 40% of energy from renewable sources (certified 'Naturemade Star')
A 600 kWc solar power installation will be brought online in spring 2023 and this capacity is scheduled to be gradually increased until it produces as much energy as we consume.
1.3 Integrate electric generators onto the Swissgrid regulation market
The company has incorporated the electric generators from its data centers into the 'Swissgrid regulation market'. By making its equipment available (during essential monthly tests which ensure that it is in good working order) and thus by injecting energy locally into the Swiss electricity grid, Infomaniak contributes to the stability of the Swiss grid, thereby increasing the efficiency of the electricity production facilities.
