Learn more about how we actively invest in Environmental Sustainability in our annual Environmental Reports.
Designed and engineered to support the environment
We build and operate a footprint of the most energy efficient data centres in the country, which serves as a reminder that organisations can be engineered to both support the environment and improve business efficiencies.
Optimising efficiencies and reducing our carbon footprint starts with our commitment to reducing our own carbon emissions which we achieve through continuous business improvement.
Sustainability is embedded in our corporate DNA, with our in-house team of Engineers dedicated to building and continuously looking for ways to fine tune our fleet and consistently maintain the most operationally sustainable data centres in the market.
NEXTDC is driving continuous improvement in energy efficiency
At NEXTDC, we believe in building a sustainable future for our planet, and we are proud to be 100% carbon neutral. As certified members of the Australian Government's Climate Active program, we are committed to offering carbon-neutral solutions to our customers, supporting their business needs in the most ethical and sustainable way possible.
We're dedicated to setting new benchmarks in data centre sustainability excellence, through meticulous measurement and management of our PUE rates and maintaining our NABERS 5-star rating. Our data centres are engineered and designed to harness renewable energy, and we're proud to say that our solar array at M1 has already offset close to 700 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year – the equivalent to taking 200 cars off the road.
Our commitment to sustainability innovation has been recognised through our latest offering, NEXTneutral. This service enables our customers to offset all the carbon emissions generated by their IT equipment and environments located in our data centres nationally. It's initiatives like these that have contributed to our position as #10 in the Australian Financial Review’s 2021 Most Innovative Companies awards (Technology category).
Our eWaste management and recycling program for end-of-life hardware is active at every facility and allows our customers to dispose of their retired equipment for free, with the peace of mind that we will recycle everything that can be, and safely dispose of what cannot.
