We build software. We protect what matters.
Ricochet Group runs entirely on EU infrastructure powered by renewable energy. We believe that companies have a responsibility not just to their users — but to the planet those users live on, and to every living thing that shares it.
From our Hetzner data centers in Nuremberg to the reefs off Slovenia's Adriatic coast, sustainability isn't a marketing checkbox. It's baked into how we operate.

Three core commitments
Concrete, measurable, and tracked in the open.
Carbon Neutral by 2027
Our EU data centers run on certified renewable energy. Every compute hour that can't be eliminated is offset through Pachama's verified forest-protection projects.
67 of 100 emission sources offset
Ocean & Marine Life
1% of all revenue goes directly to ocean cleanup and marine conservation. We're a proud partner of the Surfrider Foundation and fund plastic-removal expeditions in the Adriatic.
1% Revenue Pledge — active since January 2025
Tree Planting
One tree planted for every paying customer, every month — via One Tree Planted. No caps, no exceptions. As our user base grows, so does the forest.

We don't just build for people
Humans are one species among millions. We believe companies that ignore their impact on wildlife and ecosystems are building on borrowed time. We're trying to get this right — for all living things.
Ocean Conservation
We fund marine sanctuaries and anti-trawling campaigns across the Adriatic and Mediterranean. Clean seas mean healthy fish populations and thriving coastal ecosystems.
Learn moreBee & Pollinator Protection
Pollinators are the backbone of global food systems. We support rewilding projects that restore wildflower corridors and ban neonicotinoid use on partner farms.
Learn moreHabitat Preservation
Deforestation destroys irreplaceable ecosystems. We partner with land trusts in the Amazon, Borneo, and Balkans to permanently protect critical old-growth forest.
Learn moreBiodiversity Funding
Biodiversity loss is a silent crisis. We contribute to IUCN-aligned projects that monitor endangered species and fund breeding programs for at-risk wildlife.

Sustainability starts with the small decisions. Here's how we run day-to-day in a way that leaves as little footprint as possible.
"The most sustainable line of code is the one you don't have to run."
We optimize for efficiency first — not just because it's cheaper, but because every wasted compute cycle has a real energy cost. Building lean is building green.
