We are proud to announce that Luware AG has successfully obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, a globally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS).
This achievement represents a key milestone in our 2025 strategy, where we aim to embed environmental responsibility as a core business driver.
What ISO 14001 is & why it matters
ISO 14001 provides organizations with a framework to systematically manage their environmental responsibilities. It helps reduce pollution, waste, and carbon emissions while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
For a SaaS company like Luware, this certification demonstrates that our operations, cloud infrastructure, and business processes meet rigorous standards for sustainability, efficiency, and accountability. It further complements our broader commitment to quality and operational excellence, building on initiatives such as our enhanced SLA standards and SOC 2 Type II accreditation.
How Luware integrated environmental responsibility
Achieving ISO 14001 reflects concrete steps we took to embed environmental responsibility into daily operations. We introduced a structured EMS that guides our decision-making group-wide, ensuring that our actions contribute to sustainable outcomes.
Some highlights of our approach include:
- Protecting the environment by minimizing waste, emissions, and unnecessary resource use.
- Optimizing energy and resource consumption, including scalable architecture, data lifecycle policies, and energy-efficient hardware.
- Encouraging environmental awareness among employees and stakeholders through training and engagement initiatives.
- Partnering with sustainable cloud providers that have carbon-neutral or eco-conscious operations.
- Promoting hybrid work practices and reducing unnecessary travel and reliance on on-site equipment.
- Continuous monitoring and improvement through audits, management reviews, and KPIs.
By defining clear roles and responsibilities, engaging employees at all levels, and aligning suppliers with our environmental expectations, Luware ensures that sustainability is systematic, measurable, and continuously improving.
Our EMS moreover complements our broader information security and compliance efforts, such as our ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015, and SOC II attestation, ensuring that environmental responsibility, data security, and operational excellence work hand in hand.
