## How is my environmental footprint calculated?

Our calculation methodology was developed in collaboration with the green IT specialist consultancy firm [IJO](https://ijo.tech/index.html), ensuring a rigorous and expert-validated approach to assessing environmental impact accurately and transparently.

Our methodology is based on the ADEME (French Government Agency for Ecological Transition) [Product Category Rules (PCR) for Datacenter and Cloud services](https://librairie.ademe.fr/produire-autremenqt6105-methodological-standard-for-the-environmental-assessment-of-datacenter-it-hosting-services-and-cloud-services.html), which provide a standardized framework for calculating and reporting the environmental impact of data centers and cloud services. These rules are designed to ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability in the assessment of environmental footprints across the industry.

Refer to the [environmental footprint calculation breakdown](/environmental-footprint/additional-content/environmental-footprint-calculator) for a detailed report of how our calculations are made and what data is used.

## Why does my environmental impact data vary over time?

Your environmental impact data may change due to updates in the energy mix of data center locations, adjustments to PUE, or enhancements in our calculation methodology. These updates ensure that your reports reflect the most accurate and up-to-date information, enhancing transparency and trust in our reporting system.

The manufacturing impact is prorated based on the server's lifespan and the duration of its use by the customer. By dividing the total manufacturing impact by the expected lifetime of the server and then allocating it according to the specific usage period, we ensure that each user is accountable for their fair share of the server's overall environmental footprint.

Currently, our calculations for Elastic Metal GPU servers do not include the environmental impact of GPU manufacturing due to insufficient data from the manufacturer. While the impact of CPUs, RAM, disk, and energy consumption is accounted for, the absence of GPU manufacturing data means the figures provided today are underestimated.

We will update our methodology as soon as more reliable data on GPU manufacturing becomes available.
