Certifications
Boosting value and lowering operating costs through responsible building
Our customers rely on us to help them achieve their sustainability goals. We have mastered the art of building resource-efficient and environmentally responsible data centres to support their needs.
Our green building certifications demonstrate our commitment to responsible data centre development, and we strive to certify all new developments and renovations to recognized green building standards. We have completed sustainable building projects throughout our global portfolio, many that have been certified to the highest levels.
Our facilities are built to require fewer construction materials while achieving industry-leading levels of PUE (power usage effectiveness). This lowers their carbon footprint compared to similar data centres.
Since 2007, we have certified over 13 million square feet. More than 60% of our certified projects have received Gold-level and above equivalent ratings. We have achieved over 1 GW-IT of green building certifications.
In 2023, we certified four U.S. data centres totalling 1.3 million square feet in accordance with LEED green building standards. Our green bond offerings have supported 130 sustainable projects globally, ranging from certified green data centre construction to renewable energy and efficiency projects.
