At Kontainer, we recognize the importance of environmental responsibility and are committed to minimizing our impact on the planet. We strive to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations, ensuring that we contribute positively to the environment while supporting our clients and stakeholders.
We are dedicated to promoting sustainability across all areas of our business. Our key commitments include:

At Kontainer, we take the responsible disposal and recycling of computer hardware seriously. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we ensure that all electronic waste, including outdated or unused computer hardware, is managed in an environmentally friendly manner.
Our approach to hardware recycling:
At Kontainer, we understand the significant impact electronic waste can have on the environment. Through our computer hardware recycling initiatives, we are committed to reducing our footprint and contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable planet.
To further reduce our carbon footprint, Kontainer requires server centers to be powered by 100% green energy. All of our suppliers use renewable energy sources, specifically wind and water, to power their facilities.
Wind energy captures the power of wind through turbines to generate electricity, while hydropower relies on the flow of rivers or reservoirs for clean power. By mandating that our server center suppliers use these sustainable energy sources, we support environmental responsibility and contribute to a greener future.
Server center statement
“In December 2022 we signed up to the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact (CNDCP) committing to the European Green Deal. We are aiming to achieving the ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets and committed to making data centres climate neutral by 2030.
We have pledged in five key areas:
We are incredibly proud of singing up to the CNDCP in our first year of operation and reducing our emissions to achieve the ultimate goal of having a ‘climate neutral’ world by 2050.”

Sustainability is at the core of Kontainer’s operations. We actively promote responsible energy use, waste management, commuting options, and ethical sourcing in the office to minimize our environmental impact.
Green energy delivery
We source our office energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar power. By using clean energy, we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower our carbon footprint associated with electricity consumption.
Sorting trash
Kontainer has implemented a comprehensive waste sorting system designed to minimize landfill waste and enhance recycling and composting efforts. Our employees receive training on proper waste sorting practices, and we provide dedicated bins for recycling paper, plastic, glass, and organic waste. This system reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and fosters a circular economy mindset within our office culture.
Paperless working
We have also implemented a paperless office initiative to significantly reduce paper usage. By digitizing documents, implementing electronic signatures, and utilizing cloud-based storage solutions, we minimize our reliance on paper products. This approach decreases paper waste and lessens the environmental impact associated with paper production and disposal.
Cycling and public transport
Employees are encouraged to commute using bikes or public transportation. By fostering a bike-friendly culture, we help reduce our carbon footprint and promote healthier lifestyles. The majority of our team members choose cycling as their primary mode of transportation.
