Operating sustainably makes great business sense

As digital transformation accelerates, technology — particularly the data centre — has become the fastest area of growth for carbon emissions. Globally, data centres account for around 2% of the world’s carbon emissions. With analysts estimating data centres will consume ~20% of the world’s electricity by 2025, the growth in carbon emissions is only going to get bigger, faster.

Gartner reported in its 2021 CIO Agenda, that 62% of CIOs now have some involvement in their organisation’s environmental sustainability agenda. IT leaders have long been considered drivers of corporate growth and success and now, they are increasingly charged with helping unlock the next area of growth by identifying and building a “social value proposition”.

Sustainability sits firmly at the core of enabling organisations to:

• Lower costs
• Improve operational posture
• Reduce carbon debt
• Proactively address customer and shareholder demands for environmental sustainability
• Provide energy efficient data centre services
• Calculate your carbon usage and provide carbon neutral colocation solutions
