Frequently Asked Questions
In line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol requirements, emissions have been grouped into Direct (Scope 1), Indirect (Scope 2) and Other Indirect (Scope 3) categories.
Our Scope 1 emissions consist mostly of emissions from company-owned or leased vehicles operated by Infront.
Our Scope 2 emissions include electricity from grid, where Infront have the power to select their own supplier.
Our Scope 3 emissions include business travel, water consumption and utilities purchased by sites which do not have the power to select their own supplier (i.e. utility contracts are managed by building owners and charged to Infront as part of the rental costs).
In 2023 we expanded our scope 3 categories to include the measurement of employee commuting and capital goods. As data collection improves, we plan to expand scope 3 to include purchased goods and services.
Our Scope 1 emissions for 2023 are 82* metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This is a 17% increase from our 2019 baseline of 70* metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The increase in Scope 1 emissions can be attributed to the inclusion of leased vehicles in some of our European operations and heightened fuel consumption due to increased sales activity.
* Please note that although these figures were calculated by an expert, they are unaudited.
Our Scope 2 emissions for 2023 are 72* metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This is a 50% reduction from our 2019 baseline of 143* metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Significant reductions in office energy consumption, particularly in Kaiserslautern, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Stockholm, have positively impacted Scope 2 emissions, partly due to our hybrid working culture post-COVID.
*Please note that although these figures were calculated by an expert, they are unaudited.
Our Scope 3 emissions for 2023 are 537* metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This is almost a 66% increase from our 2019 baseline of 324* metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The increase can largely be attributed to the expansion of our scope 3 emissions categories to include the measurement of employee commuting and capital goods. As data collection improves, we plan to expand scope 3 to include purchased goods and services.

Infront does not have any emissions to water. We do however measure our emissions linked to the consumption of water in our offices.
As of 2023, of our 11 data centres, 6 run on 100% renewable energy and 3 run on partly renewable energy. Additionally, in 2023 we successfully migrated our Oslo data centre to the Infront data centres in Frankfurt, London, and Stockholm, which all run on 100% renewable energy.
This means that 57%* of our total annual energy consumption is now from renewable energy sources, compared to 39%* in 2019.
As most of Infront's offices are leased, our landlords control the utility contracts and the source of energy. Infront is committed to switching to green energy tariffs wherever possible.

No.
No.
As a business, Infront does not generate significant amounts of hazardous waste. The only waste considered hazardous by definition would be our IT equipment and components (e.g. batteries).
This was considered but deemed insignificant during the baseline year (2019). Any disposal of IT equipment and components is done through third-party service providers who are specialists in the disposal and recycling of hardware and data.
The disposal takes place in a responsible and ethical manner.
Yes.
Infront commissioned an independent third-party consultancy in 2022, who have provided us with an assessment of our emissions, as well as a reduction plan.
Management has committed to eliminate emissions from Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 and from Scope 3 by 2050. Whilst emissions reduction is the priority, Infront expects to use offsets for residual emissions to reach these two targets.
