Environmental Leadership

GreenGeeks' environmental commitment goes beyond marketing claims:

300% renewable energy match: For every amp of energy consumed, GreenGeeks purchases three times that amount in renewable energy credits from wind farms via Bonneville Environmental Foundation. This makes hosted WordPress sites carbon-reducing, not just carbon-neutral.

Verified green hosting:

• EPA Green Power Partner - Recognized by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
• Bonneville Environmental Foundation partnership - Verified renewable energy credits
• Carbon offset program - Measurable environmental impact
• Energy-efficient data centers - Optimized cooling and power systems

Every WordPress site hosted on GreenGeeks actively reduces carbon emissions rather than contributing to them. For businesses prioritizing sustainability, GreenGeeks provides verifiable eco-credentials and transparent reporting on environmental impact.
