Datacenter United publishes its first Sustainability Report
Digital infrastructure has a direct and measurable impact. For Datacenter United, sustainability starts with understanding and managing that impact.
We publish our first Sustainability Report, based on operational and organisational data from 2024. This report is not an endpoint, but a baseline: a first consolidated and factual view of where we stand today.
Our impact, in numbers
For the first time, we bring together the impact of our activities in one structured framework:
- 2 478 tCO₂e total emissions
- 12 600 MWh energy consumption
- –0.07 improvement in PUE through targeted optimisations
These figures make explicit what often remains implicit: digital infrastructure is energy-intensive and requires a controlled approach to efficiency and management.

Gain insight into the baseline of our impact and how we will further structure and improve it.
Focus on what matters most
Within data center infrastructure, the largest impact is linked to energy use. Electricity is essential for IT equipment, cooling and supporting systems, and remains the dominant factor in our climate impact.
The most direct lever therefore lies not in abstract targets, but in:
- improving energy efficiency within existing infrastructure
- strengthening monitoring and data-driven management
- systematically optimising installations
For DCU, sustainability is not a separate domain, but an integral part of how infrastructure is managed and optimised.
Baseline, not an endpoint
From report to continuous improvement
Digital infrastructure continues to grow. The challenge is not to limit that growth, but to manage it efficiently, transparently and in a controlled way.
This report lays the foundation for:
- data-driven infrastructure management
- targeted optimisations
- well-informed investment decisions
It is a first step in structurally integrating impact, data and efficiency into the way Datacenter United operates.
