Conapto

Conapto AB was launched on October 1, 2018 as a result of an acquisition of Sungard Availability Services’ Swedish operations. The company offers secure, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective colocation facilities for your physical hardware as well as market-leading access to the cloud.

Conapto works with GoClimate to take responsibility for the environmental friendliness of its offer in terms of its climate impact by:
-- keeping track of the evolution of its carbon footprint, we identify the reduction actions that have been working and where others should be taken.
-- financing climate projects to reduce the emissions that would go out into the atmosphere without them.

Through this page, we show a raw and clear view of where Conapto's climate work stands. You can see how it has been evolving and where it is going + what gaps still need filling to decouple more and more from carbon emissions.

Climate Achievements

Ambitious targets
Conapto aims to reduce emissions in line with the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Agreement.
See requirements
Reduced emissions
In 2023, Conapto reduced its emissions by 161 tonnes CO₂e (15.2%) compared to the previous year.

Methodology

The decrease in emissions is connected to a reduction in the set-up of the data centers.
Fewer purchases of large equipment in 2023 than in 2022 drove the decrease accompanied by a smaller internal construction work done compared with 2022

Steps forward
- To guarantee a continuous supply to clients, Conapto uses backup generators in case something was to happen to the electricity provided by the grid. Efforts to use fuels with as low emissions as possible are applauded and it is encouraged to continue in the search for even less emitting sources that help guarantee constant supply.
- Conapto is doing a great job by choosing green energy sources to power its data centers. Efforts should be kept to continue choosing them as new data centers develop to keep emissions to a minimum and support the transition towards less emitting energy sources

Greenhouse Gas Protocol emissions

Source	Description	Share	t CO₂e
Scope 1	Direct emissions from assets owned or controlled by the company	4.1 %	36.9
Scope 2	Indirect emissions from purchased energy such as electricity or heating	0.5 %	4.46
Scope 3	Other indirect emissions upstream and downstream in the value chain	95.4 %	858.49

Targets

With 2022 as the base year, Conapto's climate targets are:
-- For scopes 1 & 2 to have a 42% absolute reduction by 2030 - aligned with a 1.5 °C trajectory
-- An intensity scope 3 target to reduce by 52,5% the share of emissions per kW capacity of the data halls by 2030

Climate actions

Replace petroleum diesel oil with biodiesel like HVO100 or GTL based EcoPar fuel in generators and vehicles where possible
Optimize energy usage to improve data enter efficiency and minimize the use of diesel fuels for generators
Purchase electricity from 100% renewable sources like wind, water and solar power
Explore possibilities to choose greener district heating
Choose public transportation like train instead of using cars and air travel
Choose vegetarian or vegan food
Choose IT-partners and cloud providers that use renewable energy
Recycle and reuse as much as possible
Encourage employees to use public transportation or cycle to and from work
Use the IT equipment as long as possible before tech refresh
Continue to work with energy efficiency in the data centers
