Rackspace's reported carbon emissions

Rackspace, headquartered in Great Britain, is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the company has outlined significant initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint. Rackspace is pioneering the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a cleaner alternative to diesel fuel for its generators, targeting reductions in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. These efforts are part of their broader strategy to transition towards sustainable energy practices and contribute to their net-zero goal. As of now, there are no specific reduction targets or achievements quantified in terms of kg CO2e. However, the commitment to using HVO represents a proactive step in their climate strategy. Rackspace's initiatives reflect a growing trend in the industry towards sustainable practices and emissions reduction, aligning with global climate goals.
