About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

In 2019, Shopify decommissioned its own data centers and migrated its platform to Google Cloud, which matches 100% of its energy use with renewable energy. This shift addresses Shopify's Scope 2 emissions from computing infrastructure by leveraging contracted renewable energy attributes through the cloud provider. Evidence: "In 2019, we decommissioned our data centres and migrated our platform to Google Cloud, which is 100% powered by renewable energy." — https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1594805/000159480522000011/exhibit11annualinformation.htm
