We are committed to doing our part to help support renewable energy programs and minimizing the impact that our business has on the environment.

Reducing energy.
We want clean energy, and we also want to consume as little energy as possible. Since the start of our first data center nearly 20 years ago, we have been using highly efficient power supplies with less than 20% heat loss, as well as omitting any unnecessary components within our servers.
Our data centers around the world are among the most energy efficient data centers in existence. Our combined global initiatives allow us to prevent 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.

Paperless billing.
All billing statements sent to customers via e-mail. We've also replaced our welcome packages with information that is available in electronic form. With the thousands of customers that join 1&1 each month, this saves a significant amount of paper each year.

Responsible office practices.
In our corporate offices we participate in the community recycling program, and have choosen reusable kitchen items, as opposed to using paper or plastic cups and utensils.

Our Hosting Company has partnered with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) to offset 100% of the energy usage of our data center in Lenexa, Kansas by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The majority of the RECs will be sourced from the Bowersock Mills and Power Company’s hydroelectric facility in Lawrence, Kansas. This hydroelectric facility is certified low impact by the Low Impact Hydro Institute (LIHI).
