Is Hetzner certified in accordance to an energy or environmental management system?

We are not yet certified (according to EMAS, ISO50001 or ISO140001). We are working hard and are very motivated to become certified. As soon as we are certified, we will post our certificate here and on our website so you can download it.

Is Hetzner climate neutral?

Hetzner is not yet completely climate neutral. Our electricity is sourced from 100% renewable energies – in Germany from hydropower. Compared to the German electricity mix, by doing this, we are able to reduce our CO2 emissions at our German locations by 77,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

We strive to maximize our efficiency along the entire value-added chain. Our data centers operate in an extremely energy-efficient manner with an average PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of 1.13.
