Our Commitment to Responsible Technology Partnerships
At MagicSchool, we are committed to choosing technology partners who share our values of innovation, security, and sustainability. We recognize that advancements in AI and cloud computing bring immense benefits to education, but we also acknowledge the responsibility to minimize their environmental impact.
We are fortunate to partner with leading Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and others to bring powerful AI to educators. Our strategic LLM partners leverage third-party computing infrastructure, including services provided by Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS, to support their models. The infrastructure used varies by AI provider and is not necessarily limited to these cloud platforms. These infrastructure providers have established sustainability initiatives focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their environmental commitments and reported emissions vary by provider.
Microsoft has established environmental sustainability goals, including becoming carbon negative by 2030, and continues to invest in renewable energy, carbon removal, and more efficient data center operations.
In addition, our AI and cloud services are supported by infrastructure providers such as Google Cloud and AWS, both of which have taken significant steps toward sustainability. Google reports matching 100% of its annual electricity consumption with renewable energy purchases since 2017 and continues to pursue its goal of operating on 24/7 carbon-free energy. Amazon has reported matching 100% of the electricity consumed across its global operations with renewable energy and continues to invest in energy-efficient data center infrastructure. These commitments do not necessarily mean that every data center operates exclusively on renewable energy.
As we continue to offer cutting-edge AI solutions, we remain conscious of the balance between progress and sustainability by selecting best-in-class LLMs who have a thoughtful approach to sustainability. On top of this, our engineering team works to optimize platform performance and resource efficiency. We continue to evaluate opportunities to reduce unnecessary computing operations and improve infrastructure utilization. We believe that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand, and we are committed to making choices that support both a smarter and greener future.
Environmental Transparency and Reporting
MagicSchool relies on third-party cloud infrastructure and AI providers to deliver our services. We recognize that these services consume computing resources and contribute to indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
Our technology partners have established environmental sustainability initiatives, including efforts to improve energy efficiency, increase renewable energy use, and reduce carbon emissions. Environmental reporting practices vary by provider, with certain infrastructure providers publishing corporate greenhouse gas emissions data and sustainability reports.
We reference these publicly available disclosures to provide transparency into the environmental practices of certain infrastructure providers supporting our services. These reports reflect the providers' environmental performance but do not necessarily account for all computing resources supporting MagicSchool's services or represent a separately quantified carbon footprint attributable to our operations.
