Three teenagers who set up a company in the attic of their parents' house. What reads like the script of a Hollywood movie is the story of how Netstream came to be.
As a popular provider of Cloud, internet, telephony, hosting, TV and wholesale solutions, Netstream is celebrating its 20th anniversary today.
The vision of Netstream
Imagine people living fulfilled lives in harmony with technology and nature.
This is precisely Netstream's vision for the next 20 years. A number of sustainable measures have already been implemented this year. In summer 2018, for example, Netstream decided to modernize the cooling system in its data center and opted for a free-cooling system. The Swiss Climate Foundation supported this ecologically valuable conversion with a grant. Many other exciting measures are already planned for 2019.
For the 20th anniversary we plant trees for a good cause
As part of its 20th anniversary, Netstream has now come up with a special project. For every new customer who orders a product from Netstream by the end of February 2019, a tree will be planted.
Trees perform a variety of tasks for us. For example, they produce oxygen, bind carbon and slow down climate change. By planting trees, we want to work for a better world, step by step.
Alexis Caceda, CEO, Netstream AG
In March 2019, Netstream will organize a day on which employees can plant trees on a voluntary basis. The aim is to plant a variety of native tree species in the Wittikon region to create a new area of mixed forest. "It makes us happy when we, as an IT and telecommunications company, can do something good for nature together with our employees," concludes Caceda .
