Digital Pacific estimates the emissions generated for every aspect of its business including the daily operation and maintenance of hosting servers, routers and air conditioners. Following each review Digital Pacific purchase carbon credits to offset one hundred per cent of estimated emissions. An equivalent amount of electricity is then fed back into the electricity grid from wind or solar power, rather than non-sustainable means.
