Building a greener future in digital media

🌿 Sustainability at MediaLab

We're committed to reducing our environmental impact through green cloud storage, energy efficiency, and eco-friendly office practices.

Our commitment to sustainability

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us—it's a responsibility. We continuously strive to reduce our carbon footprint through conscious business practices, including:

  • Green cloud & storage management

    We provide optimized, low-carbon storage solutions with sustainable cloud providers.

  • Durability first

    Using durable products, optimizing devices and reducing overconsumption of office supplies.

  • Eco-friendly commuting

    Encouraging e-bikes, public transport, and remote work to cut emissions.

  • Waste reduction & recycling

    Minimizing food waste and ensuring responsible office recycling.

How we're making an impact

At MediaLab, we believe in sustainable digital practices. From optimizing cloud storage to reducing office waste, we're committed to making our operations as eco-friendly as possible.

🌿 Sustainable cloud & storage management

Media files take up a massive amount of digital space, which in turn requires energy-intensive data centers. We actively manage our storage by archiving and deleting unnecessary files, preventing excess digital waste. By using auto-scaling technology, we ensure that our servers only run when needed, minimizing idle energy consumption.

💻 Green IT & software efficiency

The way we develop and store digital content matters. We optimize video encoding to reduce unnecessary storage space and improve efficiency without compromising quality. Additionally, we are exploring best practices in green software development, such as reducing redundant code, and ensuring efficient processing to lower energy consumption.

🚲 Eco-friendly commuting

A greener commute makes a big difference. That's why we have an e-bike plan for our employees and encourage public transport instead of cars. Our hybrid work policy also helps cut down on daily travel, reducing overall emissions.

♻️ Waste reduction & recycling

Going paperless is just the beginning. We actively reduce food waste in the office and have recycling policies in place to minimize landfill contributions. Every step, no matter how small, helps build a more sustainable workplace.

📊 Transparency & reporting

Sustainability efforts need to be measurable. We use the DPP sustainability calculator to track our progress and set clear reduction targets. Additionally, AWS carbon reporting allows our customers to see the environmental impact of their data usage.

Through these commitments, we are working towards a future where digital media doesn't come at the cost of the planet.

Sustainable cloud infrastructure

Our cloud infrastructure is powered by providers like AWS and Azure, which have strong renewable energy commitments. We also partner with Leaseweb, a cloud provider committed to sustainability.

Our DPP sustainability commitment

We're proud to be part of the DPP Committed to Sustainability program. We've scored 2 out of 5 in our first assessment, and we're dedicated to improving.

What's next?

Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. As we grow, we aim to:

  • Improve our DPP sustainability score

  • Implement more green IT solutions

  • Reduce residual emissions through offsets
