Our Environmental Commitment
We believe that great email delivery can't come at the expense of our planet. We're committed to doing our part to protect the environment while delivering the reliable email services you depend on.
Being Honest About Our Impact
Let's be upfront; data centres use a lot of energy. There's no getting around the fact that data centres are power-hungry facilities. Every email sent, stored, and delivered requires computing power, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our Environmental Approach
As far as possible, our policy is to operate in a way that protects the environment. This isn't just a nice-to-have for us - it's central to how we run our business. We believe that being environmentally conscious and providing excellent service goes hand in hand.
Choosing Responsible Partners
With that in mind, we try to source our suppliers as responsibly as possible. We don't just pick hosting partners based on price or performance alone, but actively seek out providers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our Hosting Partners
These are our main hosting partners, in rough order of usage:
Hetzner Online GmbH
Hetzner is committed to sustainability by powering its data centres with 100% renewable energy, and uses only air to cool their servers. The company also focuses on maximising energy efficiency, achieving an impressive average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.13 which reflects highly efficient data centre operations.
Mythic Beasts
Mythic Beasts shares our belief that providers have a duty to minimise their environmental impact. They operate from five data centres across the UK and EU, all of which purchase renewable energy equivalent to their total consumption.
Cloudflare
Cloudflare matches 100% of their global energy usage with renewable energy sources. Their caching technology serves much of our website content from caches local to users, which reduces our network traffic and processing loads.
AWS
AWS matches 100% of their global energy usage with renewable energy sources.
What This Means for You
When you choose our email service, you're not just getting reliable communication – you're supporting a business that prioritises environmental responsibility. Every email you send through our platform is backed by our commitment to sustainable practices.
Always Improving
We're continuously looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact. As new technologies and greener options become available, we evaluate them to ensure we're always moving in the right direction.
What Is The Green Web Foundation?
The Green Web Foundation is an independent non-profit that tracks how much of the internet runs on renewable power, and helps us verify that our hosting providers are genuinely committed to clean energy, so you can trust that your emails are powered by sustainable sources.
