CarbonNeutral® Certification
The CarbonNeutral® certification is the global standard, managed for over 20 years to deliver clear, conclusive, and transparent carbon neutral programs.
To implement this program, John Snow Labs has replaced the majority of compute intensive workloads required to build and operate its products. Net zero emissions are achieved by offsetting the unavoidable carbon footprint with a portfolio of renewable energy projects, which are vital to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the growing global demand for energy and build sustainable infrastructure.
John Snow Labs helps the world’s leading healthcare organizations put NLP to work, and using AI for good has always been at the core of that mission. Achieving CarbonNeutral status is another step we’ve taken to show our commitment to practicing ethical AI and using technology to not just better business, but humanity.
