Our Commitment
Sustainability is at the heart of our Mission. It is also at the heart of business operations.
As a company, we commit to always strive to select the most environmental partners.
Efficiency and pricing are key for any company, but shared values are non-negotiable.
We are aware of the high impact of AI on CO2 emissions and water consumption. This is why we carefully selected our cloud provider to mitigate our negative environmental footprint to the maximum.
Why we chose OVH Cloud for our AI & Cloud Infrastructure
OVH Cloud is a global infrastructure provider, born in Europe.
They are committed to the following:
Managing their environmental impact every step of the way by building their own servers and data centers. As such, they have integrated sustainability in their model and practices for over 20 years: they integrated their industrial model in 2002 to better control their direct impacts and have been using their proprietary water-cooling technology since 2003 to optimize the use of energy of their servers.
Proactively re-using materials by disassembling 100% of their servers to give them a second life, using refurbished components in their servers and rehabilitating buildings to host their datacenters.
Being transparent by communicating on their environmental impact, not only in terms of greenhouse gases emissions, but also energy, water, waste, transportation management and by sharing their carbon footprint since 2017.
Their key environmental indicators 2023
