Catalyst Cloud has successfully renewed its Toitū net carbonzero certification through to 9 September 2028, maintaining its position as New Zealand's only cloud provider with comprehensive carbon neutral operations across its entire business.

The certification renewal comes at a critical time as New Zealand organisations increasingly prioritise environmental responsibility in their technology procurement decisions. With public cloud spending continuing to grow rapidly, the environmental impact of cloud services has become a key consideration for businesses and government agencies working toward their own sustainability targets.

"Over-provisioning infrastructure isn't a badge of honour—it's wasteful," said Catalyst Cloud CEO Paul Seiler. "True sustainability comes from architectural excellence, operational efficiency, supplier selection, and making hard choices about what we build and why. We've designed our platform for optimal resource utilisation while delivering the reliability and performance that New Zealand businesses have depended on for over a decade."

What sets Catalyst Cloud apart in the market is the comprehensive scope of its net carbonzero certification. While other cloud providers may purchase renewable energy or utilise carbon-neutral data centres, Catalyst Cloud's certification covers its complete business operations—from its Wellington, Porirua, and Hamilton facilities to every aspect of its service delivery.

"This is environmental leadership," Seiler emphasised. "We're not thinking about just one aspect of our environmental impact—we're accounting for and offsetting all of our emissions across our entire operation."

The renewed certification validates Catalyst Cloud's ongoing commitment to measuring, reducing, and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions across all business activities. This includes the company's three data centres, office operations in Wellington, and the full spectrum of cloud infrastructure services that power New Zealand businesses and government agencies.

The certification renewal provides particular value for public sector organisations required to meet carbon neutrality targets by 2025. Government agencies can now confidently procure cloud services knowing their provider maintains comprehensive environmental accountability while keeping data safely within New Zealand's legal and regulatory framework.

"We acknowledge that data centres are inherently high energy users," said Seiler. "But unlike global cloud providers operating in New Zealand who may rely on less sustainable energy sources offshore, we've always prioritised 100% renewable energy from local sources, certified through the Toitū scheme."

Catalyst Cloud's approach to sustainability is built on operational efficiency rather than simply purchasing offsets. The company continues to focus on architectural improvements that reduce resource consumption, including increasing data density on storage nodes to require fewer servers for growing storage needs, and supporting remote work policies that minimise commuting emissions.

This operational focus aligns with the company's broader philosophy of avoiding wasteful over-provisioning while maintaining the high reliability standards that have supported New Zealand's digital economy for over a decade.

The certification extension through 2028 demonstrates Catalyst Cloud's long-term commitment to environmental responsibility as the local cloud market continues to evolve. As New Zealand's only locally-owned cloud provider with comprehensive net carbonzero operations, Catalyst Cloud continues to set the standard for sustainable technology infrastructure.

For organisations evaluating cloud providers based on environmental credentials, Catalyst Cloud's renewed certification provides assurance that their technology partnerships align with genuine sustainability commitments rather than selective environmental initiatives.
