AI for a brighter future
We believe AI innovation and sustainability can, and should, go hand in hand. By taking concrete steps to minimize the environmental impact of our operations, we enable customers to enjoy the benefits of AI while protecting our planet.
Harnessing AI the sustainable way
AI brings huge value, but its widespread use comes at a cost. Training and running the latest models draws on electricity and water, which, depending on the source, can impact the climate.
At DeepL, we take responsibility for this impact. From energy-efficient data centers to actively reducing emissions, we are building with sustainability in mind. We support EU climate initiatives and believe we can break down language barriers while helping build a greener planet.
Translating words into action
We’re delivering on our environmental commitments with bold initiatives that promote energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and sustainable practices in every part of our business.
Renewable energy for data centers and offices
98% of the energy powering our data centers and offices comes from renewable sources.
Smarter energy use
We’re improving efficiency across our operations by optimizing servers, cutting office energy use, and reducing our overall footprint.
Employees leading the way
We empower employees to support our sustainability goals by encouraging them to follow more energy-efficient practices at work.
Sustainable travel incentives
We encourage sustainable travel by offering incentives like subsidized public transport and cycle-to-work schemes at select offices.
Our path to a lower carbon footprint
DeepL is building a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory to measure emissions across our operations and value chain. By tracking emissions throughout the business and setting future targets, we take meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact and hold ourselves accountable to those commitments.
Emissions are divided into three categories:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from gas and heat used in our offices and data centers
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the electricity we purchase to power our operations, including offices and servers.
- Scope 3: Indirect emissions across our value chain, including those from suppliers, waste, business travel, and employee commuting.
