Sustainability commitment

Building a small footprint while we build a useful product

We are a young marketing intelligence company. We have not pretended to be carbon neutral, and we have not bought offsets we cannot stand behind. Here is what we actually do today, what we are working on, and — equally important — what we do not claim yet.

Why this matters to us

We sell software that helps marketers spend their budget more wisely. We would be inconsistent if we did not also ask ourselves where our own resources go — energy, hardware, travel, the planet's attention. This page is our public record of how we are trying to be honest about that, without performing.

What we already do

Each of these is something we can point to today — not a future commitment.

Hosted on Hetzner — 100% renewable electricity

Our application runs on Hetzner, which powers all of its data centers with electricity from 100% renewable sources. Hetzner is certified under EMAS (the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and ISO 14001, and uses direct free cooling in its German facilities — meaning outside air does most of the cooling work for much of the year.

Hybrid and remote-first by default

Most of our team works from home or hybrid. No daily commutes for the sake of presence, no oversized headquarters, no business travel for meetings that work fine on a video call.

Digital-first product, end to end

inMOLA is software delivered through a browser. No shipping, no printed reports, no on-site field deployments, no physical media. Our entire customer journey — discovery, signup, onboarding, support — happens online.

Small, focused engineering team

We are a deliberately small company. Less surface area means less code, fewer servers, fewer side projects burning compute. Every feature we ship has to justify the resources it uses — operationally and environmentally.

Modern stack discipline

We avoid the over-engineered microservice sprawl that drives a lot of unnecessary cloud cost (and energy). Server-rendered where it makes sense, sensible caching at the edge, no duplicate work for the sake of architectural fashion.

No promotional merchandise

We do not produce branded t-shirts, water bottles, or conference swag. It feels small, but the global SaaS industry collectively manufactures and ships an enormous amount of single-use marketing material every year. We choose not to add to it.

How our product reduces customer emissions

Digital advertising has a real, documented energy cost. Every ad impression travels through ad servers, exchanges, bid streams, tracking pixels, and CDNs — all of it running on hardware, somewhere. When marketers stop spending on impressions that do not convert, that compute does not get burned.

inMOLA exists to help customers redirect spend toward what actually works. A portion of that redirected spend is wasted compute that no longer happens. We are not putting a specific number on it yet — honest measurement of advertising's full energy chain is still a young field — but the direction of that arrow is real and pointed the right way.

What we measure (and how honestly)

  • Today

    Internal estimates based on infrastructure usage (compute hours, storage, traffic) and reported business travel. Not yet published or audited.

  • 2026

    Full Scope 1 and 2 baseline, plus the parts of Scope 3 we can credibly measure (cloud, travel, SaaS dependencies).

  • 2027 onward

    Annual public report. Compact, audit-friendly, written for customers — not for award juries.

Roadmap

2026

  • Establish our first operational baseline — Scope 1 and 2 fully, partial Scope 3 (cloud infrastructure, travel, SaaS dependencies).
  • Define internal reduction targets using SBTi-style methodology, sized appropriately for a company of our stage.
  • Move all internal vendor reviews to include a basic environmental criterion (where alternatives exist at comparable quality).

2027

  • Publish our first sustainability report — concise, audit-friendly, and aimed at customers and procurement teams, not awards.
  • Begin annual measurement of customer-attributable Scope 3 from data ingest, storage, and AI inference.

2028+

  • Evaluate high-quality offset programs for residual emissions we genuinely cannot eliminate — and only after we have shown real reductions.
  • Open our methodology and raw numbers to customer review on request.

What we do not claim

We think sustainability marketing has a credibility problem because too many companies say things they cannot back up. To be a little more useful than that, here is what we are not yet saying:

  • We are not carbon neutral. We have not bought offsets, and we will not buy any until we have first measured and reduced.
  • We do not have a Net Zero target — because we have not measured properly enough yet to make a commitment we can stand behind.
  • We do not have a Chief Sustainability Officer, an ESG committee, or a steering board. We are a founder-led company with a small team. Sustainability is the founder's responsibility — and a contact email away from any customer who wants to challenge us.
  • We do not stamp "eco-friendly" on the product itself. Software is software; the honest question is how it is run and what it lets people stop doing.

How we keep ourselves honest

  • An annual public report from 2027 onward, written by the founder, not by an agency.
  • Every infrastructure claim on this page is tied to a third-party verification (Hetzner's EMAS and ISO 14001 certificates are publicly available at hetzner.com).
  • If something here reads like spin, you can email us and we will either fix it or explain it.
