Secyda is a software company. We do not manufacture hardware, nor do we generate electricity. But we choose who does it on our behalf, and that choice has consequences.
Every infrastructure decision is an environmental decision. We choose providers the way we choose jurisdictions: with judgement.
Main infrastructure powered by hydroelectric energy. Certified by independent auditors, not by us.
PUE between 1.10 and 1.16. The industry average is around 1.5. The closer to 1.0, the less energy is wasted on operations that are not computation.
Eight years on average, compared with the usual three to five. Refurbished servers, recycled components. Less electronic waste.
Natural air cooling for 98% of the year. No cooling towers, no water used for server cooling.
Second provider. Water cooling that consumes one-seventh of the industry average. More than 100 proprietary patents in cooling systems.
Eco-Management and Audit Scheme of the EU. Independent European audit at Hetzner's German datacentres. Not a self-issued label.
We require public energy data, PUE figures and independent certifications. If a provider does not have them, we do not work with them. The same as with jurisdictions.
Closest datacentre within the EU. Less distance, less energy in transit. It is both sovereignty and efficiency. There is no need to choose between them.
ODF, CalDAV, WebDAV, OpenID, SAML. If the contract changes, the data migrates with the institution. No forced migrations, no disposable temporary infrastructure.
Independent services that scale separately. Each component consumes what it needs. No monoliths burning resources to maintain functions nobody uses.
Today we do not have our own figures for energy consumption. We will publish them when we can verify them. Until then, this rule exists so that we do not invent a pretty dashboard.
Our control reaches as far as selecting providers with long product life cycles and certified recycling practices.
What we control: annual audit and certifications as a requirement, not a preference.
What we control: hosting data close to users and minimising transfers between centres.
This is not an ESG report. It is an internal code of conduct that we have chosen to make public. It is updated when the facts change, not when it is time to publish something.
