Environmental Responsibility
Built to last, built to matter
Nakisa serves enterprises around the world. We take our responsibility to the environment seriously everywhere we operate — not as a compliance exercise, but as a reflection of who we are and the clients we value globally.
Renewable energy matched by AWS across global operations — achieved in 2023
Scope 1 direct emissions — no vehicles, manufacturing, or combustion equipment
Regions — North America, Europe, and beyond — each with low-carbon hosting options
Our Commitment
Our Environmental Policy
Nakisa is committed to minimizing our environmental impact, complying with all applicable environmental legislation globally, and continuously improving our sustainability performance. We serve enterprises across North America, Europe, and internationally — and we take our environmental responsibilities seriously in every market.
Our formal Environmental Policy, effective April 2025, covers our cloud infrastructure, operational practices, supply chain requirements, and annual emissions reporting commitments
Cloud Infrastructure
Operate on AWS, which achieved 100% renewable energy matching globally in 2023 and maintains a net-zero carbon commitment by 2040.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet or exceed all applicable environmental legislation in every jurisdiction where Nakisa operates — Canada, the United States, Europe, and all other markets.
Energy Efficiency
Minimize energy consumption across offices and optimize software architecture for computational efficiency, reducing unnecessary cloud resource consumption.
Waste Reduction
Pursue a paperless organization, actively promote recycling, and responsibly manage physical and electronic assets across all locations.
Travel & Commuting
Maintain a permanent hybrid work model and conduct sales, implementation, and support operations remotely wherever possible.
Supply Chain
Meet or exceed all applicable environmental legislation in every jurisdiction where Nakisa operates — Canada, the United States, Europe, and all other markets.
Transparency
Minimize energy consumption across offices and optimize software architecture for computational efficiency, reducing unnecessary cloud resource consumption.
Cloud Infrastructure
Powered by Renewable Energy
Nakisa’s platform runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) — one of the most sustainability-committed infrastructure providers in the world. We select hosting regions with both data residency requirements and local grid carbon intensity in mind.
Amazon Web Services
100% renewable energy — achieved in 2023
AWS matched 100% of its global electricity with renewable energy in 2023, seven years ahead of schedule. The world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy, with a net-zero carbon commitment by 2040.
Net Zero by 2040
Global Regions
Low-carbon hosting across North America, Europe & beyond
AWS maintains regional data centers globally. Nakisa selects hosting regions with carbon intensity in mind — from Quebec’s hydro grid to AWS Frankfurt and other AWS regions — alongside client data residency requirements.

Nakisa Profile & Approach
Actively managed through our permanent hybrid work model and remote-first delivery approach. Business travel is reserved for situations where it provides clear client value that cannot be achieved remotely.

Operations
How We Operate Day-to-Day
Reducing our environmental footprint is embedded in how Nakisa operates globally — from how our teams work to how our software is designed and delivered.
Permanent Hybrid Work
Employees across Nakisa’s global locations commute to office approximately one to two days per week — an enduring organizational commitment that materially reduces commuting emissions.
Remote Service Delivery
Sales, implementation, and customer support are conducted primarily remotely. On-site travel is reserved for situations where it provides clear client value that cannot be achieved otherwise.
Paperless Operations
Nakisa actively minimizes printing, digitizes internal processes, and promotes recycling across all office facilities globally.
Efficient Software Architecture
Nakisa Decision Intelligence runs on containerized microservices on Kubernetes, scaling compute proportionally to demand. AI interactions use bounded context and SELECT-only queries — reducing unnecessary processing and cloud energy consumption.
Helping Clients Meet Their Own Sustainability Goals
Helping Clients Meet Their Own Sustainability Goals
Nakisa’s platform does more than reduce our own footprint — it directly supports the sustainability objectives of enterprises we serve around the world.
Real Estate Optimization
Nakisa IWMS enables organizations to rationalize their physical footprint, consolidate underperforming facilities, and reduce building energy and emissions from unnecessary space.
ESG & Sustainability Reporting
Sales, implementation, and customer support are conducted primarily remotely. On-site travel is reserved for situations where it provides clear client value that cannot be achieved otherwise.
Paper Elimination
Nakisa digitizes lease, real estate, and workforce processes that traditionally rely on paper-based records, contracts, and approvals — removing a significant source of physical waste.
Decision Intelligence
Nakisa NDI surfaces portfolio-level insights including cost, utilization, and environmental performance data — enabling real estate and facilities leaders to make more informed, more sustainable asset decisions.
