Sustainability as a strategy: how Datacenter United is making a difference in a digital world
Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have”; it has become an essential part of every business strategy, at all possible levels. Digital strategy is also often dominated by sustainability. After all, digital transformation must lead to a business environment in which environmental awareness, energy efficiency and cost control go hand in hand. Sustainability as a result of the right digital choices thus contributes to greater compliance and higher brand value.
Datacenter United is playing a pioneering role in this. For years, we have embedded sustainability in every layer of our infrastructure and in the way we work with customers and partners.
SG central to DCU strategy and infrastructure
For organisations committed to digital transformation using a hybrid or cloud-first strategy, selecting the right data centre partner is vital. Not only in terms of reliability and performance, but also a partner with maximum environmental impact and a high level of governance and social responsibility.
At Datacenter United, ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) is not a separate theme — it is at the heart of our strategy.
We shape sustainability in ecological terms through concrete actions:
- 100% green electricity,
- own solar energy production,
- innovative cooling technologies,
- reuse of residual heat.
And with transparent ESG reporting, including via Greenly and Ecovadis, we provide our customers with exactly the data they need to achieve their own sustainability objectives.
From energy efficient to climate neutral
Data centres are traditionally energy-intensive environments. Datacenter United breaks this pattern with energy-efficient architecture, a low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of <1.2 and maximum generation of its own energy. Our infrastructure is continuously optimised to minimise energy consumption — without compromising on performance or scalability.
Furthermore, as a member of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, we have endorsed the ambition to operate completely climate neutral by 2030. This pact, supported by the European Commission, is an important step in the transition to a sustainable digital economy. For customers, this means sustainable certainty: working with a partner who actively contributes to the ESG objectives of today and tomorrow.
Thought leadership in ESG through knowledge sharing and concrete initiatives
Sustainability requires leadership — not only in the form of technology, but also in knowledge sharing and vision. Datacenter United takes the lead by actively participating in industry initiatives, collaborating with customers on innovative ESG projects, and sharing best practices through white papers, events, and partner programmes.
We believe that digital infrastructure should not only be smarter, but also cleaner. That is why we are working with our customers and partners to build an ecosystem that combines technology, sustainability and business continuity.
Choose an infrastructure partner with vision!
For companies that want to work in a truly future-oriented way, sustainability is no longer a choice — it is a prerequisite. By choosing Datacenter United as your colocation or connectivity partner, you are choosing a solid, secure and sustainable foundation for your digital strategy.
We not only help you meet ESG requirements, but also enable you to use sustainability as a competitive advantage in your market.
