HLRS Receives EMAS Certification for Environmental Responsibility

EMAS certification logo for HLRS.

It is the first time that a major high-performance computing center has received approval under this framework for environmental management.

The High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) has received certification under the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). The accomplishment is the culmination of a multiyear effort to create and implement a comprehensive sustainability concept that guides HLRS's operation and will help shape its future growth.

Developed in the European Union, EMAS is the most demanding system for sustainable environmental management worldwide. Organizations that receive EMAS certification formally commit themselves to maintain stringent environmental standards and to continually reduce their environmental impact over time.
