ESG Commitment

1. Introduction

At Plain Simple Technology (“PST”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), we are committed to operating responsibly and sustainably. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Commitment outlines our efforts to minimize environmental impact, support our community, and maintain ethical governance while delivering high-performance bare metal cloud solutions.

2. Environmental Responsibility

We strive to reduce the environmental footprint of our data centers and operations:

  • Energy Efficiency: Our data centers utilize energy-efficient hardware, single-phase immersion cooling, and operate in low-humidity environments to minimize power consumption.
  • Renewable Energy: Where possible, we partner with facilities that prioritize waterless cooling and utilize renewable energy sources to power our servers.
  • Hardware Lifecycle: We reuse qualified hardware when possible, reducing the carbon footprint of our deployments. We extend the lifespan of our equipment through careful maintenance and responsible recycling of outdated hardware.

Note: We are actively working to quantify our energy usage and carbon footprint. More detailed metrics will be shared as they become available.

3. Social Responsibility

We are dedicated to supporting our employees, clients, and communities:

  • Employee Well-Being: We foster a safe and inclusive workplace with opportunities for professional growth.
  • Community Engagement: We contribute to open-source projects like OpenStack and Ceph, promoting innovation and accessibility in cloud technology. We give back to our communities by supporting and volunteering in STEM education.
  • Client Support: Our 24/7 technical support and transparent pricing ensure clients receive reliable, fair services.

Note: We are developing programs to expand our community outreach. Updates will be provided as initiatives are implemented.

4. Governance

We uphold high standards of ethics and transparency:

  • Transparent Pricing: Our fixed pricing model eliminates hidden fees, ensuring predictability for clients.
  • Data Privacy: We adhere to strict data protection practices, as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
  • Compliance: We comply with applicable regulations and industry standards to maintain trust and accountability.

5. Our Commitment to Improvement

While our ESG efforts are in their early stages, we are committed to continuous improvement. We are investing in tools to measure our environmental impact, expanding our social initiatives, and strengthening our governance practices. Updates to this commitment will be shared as we make progress.
