Rackfish Environmental Sustainability

As an energy-intensive service provider to various organizations worldwide, we believe it is our collective responsibility to provide sustainable services. By supporting our clients in their work to minimize environmental impact, we empower them to be responsible stewards of our planet.

Our unique advantage lies in our reliance on renewable and nuclear energy. With over 98% of Sweden’s electricity sourced from these clean energy sources, we can proudly claim a near-zero emissions profile. As a small organization, we are committed to partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to sustainability, as they play a crucial role in minimizing our environmental footprint.

Datacenters energy usage

We are only contracting data centers with 100% Renewable Energy.

Sustainable use of electronics

We strive to minimize our footprint when buying and decommissioning hardware. We weigh the advantages of new efficient equipment, towards performance, possible other usage, and the climate impact of buying newly produced electronics. Usually, extended usage in a less performance-hungry application is the best choice since production comes with high environmental costs. With our high redundancy, we can do so without risks. When decommissioning hardware, we do so in a controlled fashion, both in terms of data security and from a sustainable perspective.

Transportation

We encourage employees to work from home to minimize daily transportation, and with our “work-where-you-want” policy, traveling is low. When we do travel, we choose trains and bikes where possible.

Remote work, remote meetings

We have been working remotely in parts for more than fifteen years, which smooths our internal processes for all sorts of communications. With the pandemic, the rest of the world learned about digital meetings, and we have implemented this fully and moved more than nine out of ten meetings to become remote.
