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.
The increase in emissions is largely connected to the building of two new server halls in 2022, coming from the building process of the halls and the associated new equipment.
If these activities had not taken place the total carbon footprint for 2023 would have had a slight reduction from 2021 levels with a total of 333 tonnes of CO2e - even when emissions also rose in aspects like business travel due to an increase in flights and purchases which include IT equipment.
Behaviors that led to a reduction of emissions when excluding the new server halls -- Change to less impactful fuels to power the server halls -- Less electricity use in the main office -- Reduced use of cars by employees as a commuting mode of transport
Steps forward Below there is a list of the actions the company is taking to reduce its Green House Emissions. In addition to those, Conapto needs to work on finding options for how to scale its business in a way that is decoupled from emissions and other environmental impacts.
| Source | Description | Share | tCO2e |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Direct emissions from assets owned or controlled by the company | 3.05% | 32.38 |
| Scope 2 | Indirect emissions from purchased energy such as electricity or heating | 0.32% | 3.43 |
| Scope 3 | Other indirect emissions upstream and downstream in the value chain | 96.62% | 1025.02 |
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 51,6% the share of emissions per kW capacity of the data halls by 2030
