Case Study: What contribution did our sustainability efforts have on the environment?
The Internet, as a substantial contributor to pollution, accounts for nearly 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Data transfers are responsible for approximately 30% of this energy consumption. With an anticipated 40% surge in data transfers by 2030, it is crucial for companies to actively pursue strategies to minimize their environmental impact.
