We’ve officially earned The Climate Label for 2025. We’re proud to be part of the growing movement to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions under the world’s most trusted climate label.
After two years as a Climate Neutral Certified brand, we’re entering a new chapter. In 2025, the certification evolved into The Climate Label, a more rigorous framework that moves beyond the traditional “carbon neutrality” model.
Under the previous model, companies measured their emissions and then purchased carbon credits to “offset” the remaining emissions in order to claim carbon neutrality. Carbon credits are tradable certificates that represent the removal or reduction of one tonne of CO₂ (or equivalent greenhouse gases). They typically fund climate projects such as reforestation, renewable energy development, or methane capture.
The new certification program raises the expectations. It shifts the focus from symbolic balancing to tangible accountability. To earn The Climate Label, companies must introduce an internal carbon fee and use it to fund emissions reductions across their operations and supply chain. They must transparently report their emissions, establish reduction targets, and clearly demonstrate how their funding contributes to real climate impact.
Instead of just balancing emissions on paper, companies are now expected to take real financial responsibility for the impact they create. That is a mindset we believe in, and one that reflects how we want to operate going forward.
On the road to net zero
Net zero is a global goal aimed at balancing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted with the amount removed from the atmosphere. It is not a one-time milestone, but an ongoing, collective effort that requires consistent action and long-term commitment from governments, industries, and individual companies alike.
As part of that effort, we worked with the Change Climate team to measure our company’s total 2024 carbon footprint, set time-bound Reduction Action Plans, and established a dedicated Climate Transition Budget to invest in carbon projects that met Change Climate’s rigorous Standard.
Measure
Understanding our impact is the first step toward reducing it. In 2024, our total carbon footprint amounted to 819 tCO₂e — a reduction compared to the previous two years. To arrive at this number, we included all emissions associated with delivering our services, from office energy consumption and hardware use to business travel, employee commuting, and supply chain activities.
Fund
Working with the Change Climate team, we used our total emissions to calculate how much to invest in climate action. We then invested $11,164 directly to reduce emissions in our own operations through a full LED retrofit across our offices. Because electricity is our primary emissions driver, upgrading to energy-efficient lighting is one of the most effective ways to reduce our footprint.
Reduce
After identifying our main emissions hotspots, we created 12–24 month Reduction Action Plans to further reduce our impact. As a tech company, we do not operate factories or produce physical goods. Our footprint comes primarily from our offices, energy use, business travel, and hardware. That is where we focus our efforts.
We’re moving away from the industry’s “rip-and-replace” approach to equipment lifecycle. If a piece of hardware still works, it remains in use.
By extending the lifecycle of our equipment by more than 50%, we reduce electronic waste and avoid the carbon emissions tied to manufacturing new hardware.
At the same time, we’re strengthening the structure behind our sustainability efforts. With support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) through its Blue Ribbon programme, we are working with an approved advisory partner to improve how we track, assess, and report our environmental, social, and governance performance.
This gives us clearer insight into the parameters that matter most, increases transparency, and helps us better understand where we perform well and where we need to improve. By strengthening our ESG governance and reporting today, we are ensuring that our climate efforts remain measurable, focused, and aligned with evolving EU standards.
Advocate
For us, climate responsibility isn’t about earning a shiny certification or improving numbers in a report. It’s about running our business responsibly, setting an example in our industry, and making sure our people are part of this journey. That includes sharing knowledge with our community and supporting our team members in adopting more sustainable practices through education and practical tools.
Sustainability shouldn’t be about overcomplicating things to look good on paper. To us, it’s just another word for running a disciplined business – being mindful of our resources and honest about our impact. It’s that simple.
