We work with nonprofits to deliver digital literacy training, STEM education, and technical career development. The next generation is learning to build their own future.
Energy innovation
Long-term sustainability starts with smart energy use and clean power.
Data centers offer a unique opportunity to innovate with energy efficiency and clean, renewable alternatives. Thanks to the ingenuity of our teams, we’ve achieved:
96%
global renewable energy coverage across 268 data centers in 35 countries
1.39 PUE
An industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) across our global portfolio. Efficiency innovations help us get more out of our energy.
100% Renewable
Through power purchase agreements (PPAs), we’re supporting renewable energy generation in the US, India, Australia, Singapore, and many countries across Europe. Together, these wind and solar farms can achieve 100% renewable energy coverage by 2030.
Committed to decarbonize all operations by 2040.
Data centers are at the forefront of energy innovation; we have a unique opportunity to implement smarter decarbonization strategies. We’re deploying energy efficiency, developing low-carbon energy solutions, and collaborating with our suppliers to address emissions within our value chain.
We have set ambitious decarbonization targets that are guided by science.
Environmental sustainability
Everyone deserved to lived in a world powered by sustainable choices.
We believe in a future where technology drives sustainable growth.
Achieved an annual global water usage effectiveness (WUE) of 0.95, indicating that our data centers have highly efficient water use relative to energy consumption.
Launched our Responsible Electronic Disposal (RED) program, a global waste management program.
Developed strategies to conserve and protect local biodiversity.
We don’t just account for the varying needs of our customers and stakeholders, but also for the local communities and ecosystems.
To combat habitat destruction, noise pollution, and ecological instability, we require all new builds to include green space that supports biodiversity and employee well-being.
We’re optimizing our water consumption through new technologies, innovations, and monitoring solutions in support of sustainability. We’re implementing heat recovery and export systems wherever possible to warm thousands of homes, businesses, schools and community facilities nearby our data centers.
