International Energy Agency, 2025

As digital experiences and AI-powered applications evolve, infrastructure demands are growing rapidly. Traditional cloud platforms often respond by scaling resources, driving up both costs and emissions.

Upsun takes a different approach, helping teams design and run applications that are more efficient by default, so they can scale sustainably and reduce the environmental footprint of their cloud operations.

Emission reductions depend on many factors, especially the cleanliness of the electricity source. Upsun helps customers take meaningful steps toward sustainability by enabling greener choices.

More transparency.
Less energy.
Lower emissions.

15xLower emissions

Less CO₂eq with smart region selection, based on IPCC 2014 data and real-time carbon intensity⁴

12xGreater efficiency

More CPU-efficient than AWS EC2 VM -validated by Greenly, 2022²

3%Cost savings

Automatic discount when deploying to an incentive-eligible greener region

Upsun enables lower-emission cloud deployments

We follow a clear framework to reduce environmental impact, by design.

01

Measure emissions. Increase transparency.

We measure our direct and indirect CO₂e emissions and make audited cloud emissions data available to customers through the Upsun console.

02

Optimize for efficiency

Upsun is built for high-density computing, allowing multiple applications to run efficiently on fewer, high-performance servers. This reduces overall cloud resource usage and lowers emissions, without sacrificing performance.

Based on a 2022 efficiency study conducted by Greenly.

03

Deploy to lower-carbon regions

Upsun’s multi-cloud platform lets you deploy workloads in regions with lower carbon intensity. By choosing data centers powered by cleaner energy, teams can reduce CO₂e emissions by up to 15×, while maintaining performance and reliability.

Based on a 2022 study. Regions are considered “greener” when carbon intensity is below 100 gCO₂e/kWh.

Education that drives better decisions

Education is a core part of our sustainability approach. We deepen our own understanding of environmental impact, then share those insights with customers and the wider community, so everyone can make more informed decisions.
