## Sustainability story

We make heavy use of open source software but we don't only want to take; we report bugs, we translate and where we can, we supply patches. We offer great reductions to NGO's and community projects.

We run a healthy business in a healthy society. The idea of sharing and balancing is of fundamental importance to us. That's why we offset our entire carbon footprint and donate 10% of our profits directly into charitable organisations and nonprofit projects. Every year.

## Emissions (2024)

**Methodology:** Gorilla Computing GmbH's inventory uses spending data to estimate GHG emissions. Gorilla Computing GmbH attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate Project team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.
