Climate Change and Related Risks
Our climate change strategy towards a net-zero economy strengthens our company’s resilience, while minimizing our impact on the environment
Our Approach
As part of our environmental responsibility strategy and in line with our commitment to measuring our global impact and implementing mitigation actions, through energy reduction and emissions’ avoidance initiatives, we set internal targets to improve energy efficiency, increase renewable energy use, reduce emissions and invest in offset projects for the carbon emissions we cannot reduce or replace.
Climate Change Strategy
In 2020, we incorporated the TCFD Recommendations into our ESG strategy, in order to ensure business decisions and strengthen our company’s resilience, while minimizing our impact on the environment. We identified three key areas to drive our climate change strategy towards a net – zero economy: Renewable Energy, Strategic Planning of the Data Centers and Eco – Efficiency. Our goal is to reduce the intensity of our energy use, in order to reduce GHG emissions and increase the use of renewable energy, in order to avoid GHG emissions, in all operations, including offices, owned and collocated Data Centers and Cloud.
