Runbox is more than a private, secure email service – it’s email done ethically and sustainably. By choosing Runbox, you support transparency, social responsibility, and a carbon-negative digital future. Powered by renewable energy and guided by strong values, we ensure your communication leaves a minimal environmental footprint.
Our mission is to make digital communication a force for good. Together, we’re building an online world that’s trustworthy, sustainable, and principled — one email at a time.
Ethical Responsibility at the Core
We hold ourselves to high moral standards – treating customers, employees, partners, and shareholders with fairness, respect, and integrity. We’re guided by Norwegian values and international laws on human rights, freedom of speech, and environmental justice, making sure every decision reflects responsibility and integrity.
Environmental Stewardship
Our servers are powered entirely by 100% renewable energy, ensuring that every email you send has a minimal ecological footprint. To go even further, we double-offset any remaining emissions through partnership with the Norwegian tree-planting organization Trefadder’s initiatives, making our operations carbon-negative.
Sustainability is embedded in every part of our business, because we believe technology should help and not harm the planet. Green hardware procurement when possible, electronics recycling, active participation in the circular economy in Norway and support for remote work are all part of our operations.
Community & Global Impact
We have long collaborated with non-profits such as Concerned Scientists Norway, cChange, Oslofjordens Friluftsråd, Trefadder, and others to support sustainability initiatives both locally and globally.
Our dedication to ethical and environmentally responsible practices has earned us recognition as an Ethical Consumer “Best Buy” since 2020, a distinction that underscores our long-term commitment.
Additionally, we contribute by donating free email services to environmental organizations. This allows us to help amplify their important work and fostering a shared mission for a more sustainable world.
Privacy & Transparency
Your emails and personal data are protected by Norway’s stringent privacy laws, which are among the strongest in the world. At Runbox, we go beyond compliance by refusing to track, target, or serve ads. Your communication remains truly private and free from commercial exploitation.
We maintain a clear, straightforward privacy policy that explain exactly how your data is handled. We believe that transparency is key to building lasting trust.
