In effect, 1&1's data centers around the world are among the most energy efficient data centers in existence. In addition to various other energy saving efforts, 1&1 purchases enough renewable energy certificates (RECs) to equal 100 percent of the electricity used at its Lenexa, Kansas data center. The company's combined global initiatives allow it to prevent 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. "1&1 Internet accepts the responsibility to become a green-powered company," said Oliver Mauss, CEO of 1&1 Internet Inc. "We are proud to now be the first big hosting company with all our data centers' energy usage offset by renewable, clean energy. We believe this is an important step for every organization to take, and a contribution helping to save our planet."
