Nord Security's Impact Report reveals half of colocated servers use renewable energy

Nord Security published its annual Impact Report, outlining its actions regarding Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG), social initiatives, and sustainability risks. The report supports the company's mission to enhance online safety while positively influencing communities and the environment.

Eimantas Sabaliauskas, co-founder of Nord Security, stated that the report demonstrates their efforts to help individuals and businesses regain control over their digital lives. In 2024, the company introduced new products and tools, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of their cybersecurity approach.

Nord Security expanded its GHG emissions reporting, identifying indirect emissions under Scope 3, resulting in total market-based emissions of 23,014 tCO2e in 2024. A substantial portion of these emissions originates from areas outside direct company control, prompting Nord to engage with suppliers to foster transparency in emissions reduction.

Throughout 2024, the company colocated servers in 37 data centers worldwide, implementing low-power servers. Among these, 32 data centers utilized renewable energy, contributing to 50% of their colocated servers being powered by renewable sources.

Nord Security further focused on various sustainability measures, with approximately 73% of its employees working in BREEAM-certified offices. Energy-saving practices, such as automation for temperature control and efficient lighting, were implemented across their facilities.

The organization maintained significant support for community initiatives, contributing over 2,600 accounts to vulnerable groups to enhance online safety. They provided aid for the people of Ukraine, with a financial donation exceeding €48K directed to specific NGOs.

Last year, Nord Security also assessed its sustainability impacts and risks to comply with the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This evaluation aimed to align sustainability risk assessments with their enterprise risk framework, underscoring the company's commitment to improving transparency and sustainability practices.
