Sustainability at Servebolt
We believe sustainability should cover every aspect of life here at Servebolt. We focus on delivering the fastest hosting while keeping sustainability—and green hosting—at the forefront of every decision we make.
We’re building a sustainable and fast internet by creating a global, faster, and more efficient website hosting infrastructure that’s accessible to everyone.
Building a sustainable hosting infrastructure for a healthier planet
Maximizing efficiency for our clients, reducing our impact on the environment. Servebolt remains dedicated to decreasing the effects of our activity on the environment.
Greener Hosting
We’re on a mission to end the damaging days of web hosting by showing that great tech doesn’t always mean bad for the planet. A green hosting stack has to be powered by green energy, use modern resource-efficient hardware, and run a software stack that minimizes the resource consumption per web request. At Servebolt, we offer uncompromisingly good web hosting with industry-leading technology that’s better for you and the planet.
Energy Efficient Data Centers
We are working with our upstream providers to ensure that the data centers we use use green energy. We’ve partnered with Blix Solutions, a high-performance and availability network and data center provider, to host our cloud infrastructure in the most sustainable fashion. Since we only use renewable energy to power our data centers, your website will always be powered by an environmentally friendly energy source.
Efficient Processing of Code
At Servebolt, we select hardware with solid performance and power balance. Our software stack delivers 50-100% more speed and efficiency than others achieve on equivalent hardware.
Carbon-Offset Reforestation
With Servebolt, you can take a step towards a sustainable future by offsetting your website’s carbon footprint. We are compensating for our residual carbon footprint by letting our partner, Trefadder, plant trees for us. By planting trees, you can effectively compensate for the carbon emissions your site generates. Join us in our mission to make the internet a greener place, one website at a time.
Green Energy
Rest assured that every single one of our data centers is powered by green and renewable energy, and we take responsibility for our carbon footprint by offsetting it through our partnership with Trefadder, where we plant trees to reduce our impact on the environment.
Sustainable Web Dev
The craft of developing fast and performant websites is very similar to creating green and sustainable websites. Sustainable web development is concerned with every single aspect of what your site does. What it loads, when it has to load, and how optimized what needs to be loaded is. The performance-first workflow is a very good starting point for making your website greener.
Combine this with building efficient database usage on top of Servebolt’s green hosting, and you’re off to a great start creating the greenest, most sustainable version of your website.
Operating sustainable life
Our commitment to accountability drives our day-to-day and team operations. We aim to inspire sustainable decision-making by raising awareness and educating employees about environmental issues.
Servebolters are working hybrid-remote
We are a remote-hybrid company. Our employees have the option to work from home, which means there’s no need to commute to the office on a daily basis. By skipping the daily commute, our staff significantly reduces their impact on air pollution, traffic congestion, and public transportation overcrowding.
Conscious employee lifestyle
We believe that investing in the happiness and well-being of our employees is key to delivering the exceptional services that define Servebolt.
Eliminating the dress code significantly reduces the need for dry-cleaning, thereby effectively minimizing the use of chemical cleansers and dyes, which ultimately results in a cleaner and greener environment.
Compensating our traveling
Becoming a more sustainable business requires a
defined, multifaceted approach—one that considers
and addresses both environmental and social
impacts
At Servebolt, we always encourage booking flights that come with CO2 compensation.
Encouraging an active lifestyle
At Servebolt, we view physical activity as
the cornerstone of a healthy and fulfilling life.
We hold the firm belief that encouraging an
active lifestyle is a key component of fostering
both the physical and mental well-being of
our employees.
Sustainable branded merch
Even our promotional products are designed, manufactured, and distributed with environmental and social responsibility in mind. Adopting sustainable practices reduces environmental impact and demonstrates corporate social responsibility.
Selecting eco-friendly materials
We aim to use materials that have been recycled, are renewable, and have been responsibly sourced with minimal processing involved.
Made in Norway
By choosing domestic production, we help the local economy, reduce pollution from transportation, and follow strict rules about the environment and ethical labor practices.
Design for circularity
We create our merchandise designed to be reused, repaired, recycled, or composted at the end of life, enabling circular resource flows rather than disposal. We choose versatile and functional products that the end-user will use and appreciate.
Providing lasting value
The combination of durability and timelessness enhances the overall utility of a product and extends its lifespan, reducing the likelihood of early retirement. Classic designs crafted from long-wearing fabrics not only exemplify superior quality but also stand the test of time, making them reliable and enduring choices.
Resource efficient manufacturing
By using production facilities in close proximity to the target market, we aim to minimize the distance goods need to be shipped, thereby reducing carbon emissions and transportation costs.
Global Leader in Sustainability
Norway is a global leader in the green economy – in fact, it’s been crowned the “world’s most sustainable country.” With Servebolt being the only larger hosting company owned by Norwegians, you can trust in our commitment to sustainability. By choosing our services, our clients are joining our green mission for a better future. By prioritizing our love for people and nature, we aim to inspire not only our clients but everyone around us to live a more conscious and responsible life.
Sustainable Business
Servebolt’s sustainable-first approach not only benefits the environment but also provides our clients with an eco-friendly foundation for their online business. Developing fast and high-performing websites is similar to creating green and sustainable websites, which require an optimized performance-first workflow. Combining this workflow with Servebolt’s efficient database usage and green hosting can help you create a sustainable version of your website.
Sustainable Platform Out-of-the-Box
Our green hosting is built on the pillars of efficiency, inclusivity, accessibility, and sustainability. We don’t just add features; we ensure that our entire platform is designed for maximum efficiency. Unlike other hosting services that rely on resource-heavy caching for speed, Servebolt Linux 8 optimizes the OS specifically for your workload, which minimizes power consumption. This eliminates the need for complex caching strategies and frees up resources, making your website lightning-fast without any harm to the environment.
Holistic environmental thinking is the basis for the choice of the Servebolt HQ
The core of our values has always been investing in the comfort and well-being of our team and building a workplace that upholds our responsibility to people and the environment.
The Servebolt headquarters are located in Økern Portal, which is set to become one of the most sustainable buildings in Oslo with Breeam excellent certification and energy class A.
The sustainability profile of Økern Portal ranges from energy-efficient heating and innovative sensor technology for energy savings to rooftop beehives and indoor biophilic design. Greenery and other natural materials indoors have a shooting effect on the human. The sense of comfort and well-being increases when we feel connected to nature. Bringing outside in could, especially in the Nordics, have a great impact on the indoor environment, the building, and its people as plants and trees increase humidity.
