Australian datacentre provider NEXTDC has unveiled the country’s first carbon-neutral colocation service to help organisations reduce their carbon footprint.
Dubbed NEXTneutral, the service involves the purchase of carbon offsets under NEXTDC’s partnership with Qantas Future Planet, a sustainability initiative spearheaded by Qantas and Tasman Environmental Markets.
The carbon offsets will be used to fund ecological projects, such as restoring wetlands and rainforests impacted by commercial development, protecting pristine habitats such as the Great Barrier Reef, and supporting indigenous culture and traditional sustainable land management practices such as cool fire burning.
