Sustainability ReportWIIT 4 Climate
Countering global warming requires immediate action, both locally and systemically. We are committed to counteracting climate deterioration by reducing our own climate-changing emissions. Our ambition is to make all Group companies carbon neutral by 2030.
WIIT 4 ClimateThe Scenario
The world had its hottest year ever in 2023. Achieving the targets for limiting temperature increases is becoming an increasingly remote possibility: today, the time available to keep the increase in global average temperatures to below the +1.5°C threshold is just over five and a half years.
Within the Twin Transition framework, cloud storage represents an essential means for the decarbonisation of economic activities. In fact, the cloud will play a key role in reducing greenhouse gases, contributing to an estimated 15% reduction in global emissions, compared to an energy consumption of 2% worldwide.
The IT sector faces the challenge of circularity; although e-waste is the fastest-growing category of solid waste worldwide, only a small fraction o f it is currently recycled. Europe is one virtuous example, with an electrical and electronic waste recycling rate of 55%, compared to a global average of about 17%.

WIIT 4 Climate2030 Targets
In order to reduce its impact and become carbon neutral or positive, each organization can source its energy from renewable sources, or purchase green certificates, financially supporting companies that produce “green” energy. Reducing emissions is a challenge that requires awareness both inside and outside the company.
The commitment of WIIT in the ESG Plan is to reduce by 50% the energy consumption for the storage of its data centers, to have a corporate fleet composed of 70% electric or hybrid cars and to purchase 100% of energy produced from “green” sources. An equally important aspect will be to ensure a second life for at least 80% of the technological materials being replaced.
