We’re excited to share our 2024 Sustainability Report – the third consecutive year we’ve created this report with a reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. In 2024, we’ve developed a sustainability framework with three main focus areas reflecting what matters most to our team, our clients, and our planet.
Let’s dive into what we’ve accomplished and where we’re headed.
Climate change and circularity: Powering a greener future
Big news: We’ve achieved 100% renewable energy share for all our data centers, our key Scope 2 emission source, through a combination of renewable electricity matching by us and sourcing by our data center partners. This milestone means we’ve reached 15 tCO2e in Scope 2 in market-based reporting (by comparison, in 2023, we had 1,522 tCO2e in Scope 2 market-based reporting), which includes only heating from our office spaces.
This achievement didn’t happen overnight. The journey began by evaluating our data centers’ energy use and exploring ways to reduce non-renewable sources. In 2024, 67% of our data center energy came from renewable sources through our partners’ renewable electricity contracts and certificates.
To reach 100%, we secured renewable electricity certificates for our facilities in:
- Meppel (Guarantees of Origin)
- Asheville (Renewable Electricity Certificates)
- Mumbai and Jakarta (International Renewable Electricity Certificates)
All certificates were purchased and redeemed according to applicable legislation, ensuring they weren’t sold to or claimed by any third parties.
We continue our journey toward environmental sustainability by working on two key goals: achieving a full transition to renewable energy and addressing any remaining non-renewable energy usage. Additionally, we’re setting clear targets for reducing our Scope 3 emissions to better align with the Paris Agreement goals.
Knowledge sharing: Empowering digital success
At Hostinger, our mission is to provide tools that help individuals and small businesses succeed online faster and more easily. In 2024, we remained focused on providing resources and best practices to support entrepreneurs and startups in building and growing their businesses.
Our team participated in 44 knowledge-sharing events, reaching approximately 1,500 participants with valuable insights. We also openly shared several successful tools and frameworks that have driven our own growth, including:
- Peak Performance Pulse (PPP): Our performance management system that encourages growth, learning, and high performance through regular feedback and development.
- Kodee AI Assistant: A personal AI helper that finds and fixes product issues while guiding users to get the most from our products.
- Fireactions: An open-source tool for self-hosted GitHub runners in secure Firecracker-based virtual machines, reducing workflow queues and improving performance.
- Success Path Hub: Our learning environment that helps team members master their roles, achieve high standards, and grow professionally.
- Bar Raiser: A hiring process using objective third-party interviewers to ensure new hires raise our talent standards and culture.
- OKRs: Our quarterly management framework that tracks measurable results to drive growth and accountability.
By sharing these tools and frameworks, we’re helping the wider business community succeed while promoting innovation and sustainable growth.
