One Green Step Ahead

Securing Carbon Neutrality

Global networking and increasing computing power enable technical innovations, but also pose risks to the climate. That is why we place particular emphasis on acting in a climate-neutral manner.

We want to offer you the best possible service – not only today, but also tomorrow and a decade from now

Modern data centers are in high demand, especially here in our hometown of Frankfurt am Main, but they also lead to an exponential increase in electricity consumption. While private households are saving electricity, consumption in the IT industry is rising across the board: consumption figures of between 200 billion and 300 billion kilowatt hours are predicted for 2030.

With this growth comes an increased responsibility to manage it properly, not tomorrow, but preferably today. For this reason, Link11 has decided to pay special attention to environmental protection. We have therefore made it our mission to make all our processes climate-neutral in order to contribute, at least in a small way, to protecting our planet.

Green Company

At Link11, we want everyone to have the chance to do their part to help protect the climate. Wether it’s through our „Green Option“ or our active support of a climate-change book publisher. In this way, we not only optimize our products and processes, but also actively help reduce the carbon footprint of our partners.

Green Partner

By joining forces with ClimatePartner, Link11 has found the ideal way to optimize our processes and make us completely climate-neutral. Through our collaboration, we protect our customers and ensure a safer and more livable future.

Green customer option

Our customers can make an extra contribution to climate protection in just a few clicks using the special Green option. By doing so, you provide additional support to the climate projects we support and increase their available budgets to ensure optimal results. You can learn more about the projects we support further down the page.

Green information diversity

An important part of climate protection is understanding what you can do to help. That’s why Link11 is cooperating with the authors of a best-selling book on climateprotection to distribute their work to interested parties, who can now easily obtain useful climate-action information in a convenient bundled form.

Green suppliers

We select our partners, especially data centers, not only based on performance, but also on climate protection criteria. They purchase green electricity and operate in a largely climate-neutral manner, which strengthens our own green measures. Link11, for example, meets all the requirements of the Green Web Foundation and is committed to offering all customers climate-neutral services for a greener internet.

Small Gases –
Big Effects

The Climate Change

  • With their book “Small Gases – Big Impact: Climate Change”, two students have independently created a compact, easy-to-understand book on climate protection that bundles all the important information for just five euros and is now supported by numerous companies, institutions, and personalities.
  • Now translated into several languages, a more in-depth follow-up book already published shortly after. Convinced by the idea and approach, Link11 is now a proud sponsor of further projects by these climate protection initiators.

Clime Projects that we support around the globe

We work closely with ClimatePartner to reduce our emissions as much as possible. This means we measure our CO2 emissions and optimize the processes behind them to find and implement potential savings. To achieve our climate protection goals, we also support projects around the world to make up for our potential CO2 emissions discrepancy. These projects include: Wind power replaces parts of fossil energy regional, Drinking water supply in Odisha, India and Tree planting in Germany.

We are proud to announce that these projects have enabled us to compensate the total amount of our historical CO2 emissions since Link11 was founded in 2005. You can find

even more information about the projects we support at www.climate-partner.com in combination with the use of our official ClimatePartner ID 15391-2104-1001/1443 and 15391-2104-1001.

Project 1

Wind power instead of fossil fuels

This climate protection project in the Nashik region of Maharashtra, India, replaces some fossil fuels with wind power. The renewable wind energy is fed into the regional NEWNE power grid, which supplies northern, eastern, western, and northeastern India. Four wind turbines with a total capacity of six megawatts were installed for this purpose.

Since energy is still mainly generated from fossil fuels in many places around the world, clean wind power can replace some of this fossil fuel-based, emission-intensive energy and demonstrably reduce CO2 emissions. Learn more: https://projects.climatepartner.com/de/1443

Project 2

Drinking water supply

It is currently estimated that around 2 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. The bottom line: many of these people first have to boil water over a fire, which not only leads to increased CO2 emissions but also promotes deforestation.

This can be easily avoided by supplying people with purified drinking water, which not only helps the climate but also does a good deed on a humanitarian level. Learn more: https://fpm.climatepartner.com/tracking/15391-2104-1001/de
