Green Private Cloud carbon carbon neutral fully managed VPS services.
What Makes This Different?
Many hosting providers claim to be green — but few go as far as we have. First, we conducted a full external audit of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our entire operation. Then, we purchased verified carbon offsets to match our emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.
But we didn’t stop there.
We went a step further by engaging BSI (British Standards Institution) to carry out a full audit against the ISO 14068 standard. This rigorous third-party verification ensures that both our reporting and offsetting are accurate, transparent, and scientifically valid — a step that most other providers simply don’t take.
What is ISO 14068?
ISO 14068 provides the principles, requirements, and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. It emphasises a structured, science-led approach to quantifying, reducing, and offsetting emissions. This includes prioritising direct and indirect GHG reduction throughout the value chain before relying on offsets.
Why Does ISO 14068 Matter?
This standard matters because it:
- Promotes genuine carbon neutrality, not just marketing claims
- Supports a shift to low GHG emission operations
- Requires transparent and fair communication of environmental impact
- Helps customers trust and verify carbon neutral hosting claims
