Hosting a climate-neutral future
Minimising CO₂
Powered by green energy
To reduce our CO₂ output and to do our part in the fight against climate change, IONOS uses energy from renewable sources wherever possible.
Our data centres in Europe run entirely on electricity from renewable sources. Priority is given to local and regional suppliers. Our proprietary US data centre is powered solely by wind energy.

Maximising performance while reducing energy consumption
Reducing our demand
Reducing energy consumption is just as important as sourcing sustainable energy. Regularly upgrading our data centre infrastructure helps to reduce energy loss during operation.
By optimising IT, such as through virtualisation and container clusters, we maximise the customer benefit while minimising our environmental impact.

Business travel
Remote working and responsible 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 travelling is a must, train is preferred. IONOS employees are also encouraged to carpool or use alternate fossil-fuel-free forms of transport.
Recycling
Reducing our carbon footprint
Once our servers have reached the end of their service life, they are reused, recycled or disposed of appropriately.
In 2021, 124.1 tons of hardware were recycled across the IONOS Group. As a result, our CO₂ footprint was reduced by over 226 tons.
Employees are also encouraged to play their part by recycling at work.
