Spryker is dedicated to making the world a better place
Spryker is not just a leader in commerce technology but understands our greater responsibility as advocates for how to make the world around us a better place. This starts with our investment in being carbon neutral in the fight against climate change and our commitment to remaining carbon neutral as we expand internationally to new offices and move to remote work. What is a climate-neutral company? This means that we have calculated our greenhouse gas emissions, are continuously reducing them, and offset unavoidable emissions through carbon offset projects.

We support efforts against plastic pollution
Spryker is continuing our commitment to being a part of positive change by supporting the efforts of Plastic Bank, Worldwide in their mission to clean up our oceans. Over 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in the sea every year. Especially developing countries often lack infrastructure for proper waste disposal. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. Money for plastic - this is the approach taken by the Plastic Bank. In Haiti, Indonesia, Brazil, and the Philippines, people collect plastic waste. At local collection points, they can exchange it for money, food, drinking water, cell phone credit, or even school fees. The project makes sure that less plastic ends up in the sea. Instead, it is recycled and turned into so-called Social Plastic, which serves as raw material for new products such as packaging.
Spryker Runs on AWS!
AWS is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud offering, with millions of global users depending on it every day. To build a sustainable business for their customers and for the world we all share, they’re designing data centers that provide the efficient, resilient service customers expect while minimizing their environmental footprint.
Studies by 451 Research have shown:
- AWS’ infrastructure is 3.6 times more energy efficient than the median of U.S. enterprise data centers surveyed
- AWS’ infrastructure is up to five times more energy efficient than the average in Europe
- AWS can lower customers’ workload carbon footprints by nearly 80% compared to surveyed enterprise data centers
- This can lower to 96% once AWS is powered with 100% renewable energy—a target AWS is on path to meet by 2025
