Written by Sabrina Deakin | 17.10.2025 09:46:45

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. 

The impact of ISO 14001 for our stakeholders 

For customers and partners 

Working with a certified ISO 14001 SaaS provider means choosing a partner who prioritizes environmental responsibility. It assures you that your digital operations with Luware are aligned with sustainable practices and that we are actively reducing our carbon footprint. 

For employees 

Our people are at the heart of our sustainability journey. The certification strengthens employee pride and engagement, creating a culture where every team member feels empowered to contribute to environmental initiatives, from efficient cloud use to office practices. 

For the industry and community 

With this certification, Luware sets an example in the technology sector, demonstrating that eco-friendly SaaS operations are achievable and effective. We hope to inspire peers in the technology sector to adopt eco-friendly practices and raise the bar for green software solutions. 

Looking ahead: our ongoing commitment 

This ISO 14001 certification marks a milestone, not the finish line. We are committed to continuous improvement through: 

  • Complying with environmental laws, regulations, and obligations 
  • Further reducing emissions and resource consumption 
  • Continuously improving our EMS and environmental performance
