Responsible digitalization
Digitalization and AI are increasing the pressure on the environment and society. data centers are the backbone of digitalization.
We want to inspire our peers, customers, and suppliers to reduce the environmental impact from digitalization. We want to push the standards for reducing environmental impact from data centers. We want to build data centers that help the local communities where we operate to thrive, using renewable energy and surface water to store or compute information.
Together with our stakeholders, we have identified where we have negative and positive environmental and social impact, as well as risks and opportunities. These material topics have informed our sustainability strategy and targets. We have set targets to protect our planet, to protect people across our value chain, and to ensure a responsible governance of the company and how we do business.
Transparency is key for credibility and credibility is the currency for sustainability. We will measure and disclose our sustainability performance on our website, in our annual sustainability reports, and on the CDP reporting platform.
