Sustainability at Green
Digitalization has seen demand for IT infrastructures and energy skyrocket in recent years. It is estimated that IT infrastructures are responsible for around two percent of global energy consumption today – and the trend is growing.
As a data center operator, we are aware of our responsibility to act in harmony with both people and the environment. Sustainability is therefore a principle that is firmly anchored in our values. For us, green IT is a sustainable vision under the motto "act blue": with innovative technology, we focus on efficient solutions and sustainability.
By using smart technologies, we enable growth while ensuring environmental friendliness. Our experience helps us to identify optimization potential and implement efficiency improvements. We have been committed to perfecting efficiency since we started building and operating data centers.
Find out in the Green ESG Report 2022 how sustainability is anchored in our company and which strategic initiatives Green is pursuing.
Green Sustainability
100% renewable power
We meet 100 percent of our data centers' energy requirements using renewable energies. We also offer our customers this power mix for IT loads at attractive conditions.
Unique expertise
A data center can only function efficiently if everything is perfectly coordinated. Since the beginning, we have been perfecting building design, power distribution systems and cooling solutions, as well as customer installations. We have acquired unique knowledge that we keep expanding.
Recognized & certified
Our first building project, the Zurich-West Data Center, has already received several awards for its exemplary energy efficiency. Our energy efficiency programs are managed under ISO 50001 and are certified according to international standards.
Achieving maximum energy efficiency with integral concepts
In Green data centers, design and concept are tailored for maximum energy efficiency, incorporating the latest insights and technological advancements. Building design, material selection, equipment, and technologies, down to the building envelope, are precisely coordinated.
Our focus is on an integrated concept that carefully manages resources and incorporates the site and its capabilities. For instance, we utilize ambient air through free cooling for approximately 300 days a year, significantly reducing the cooling demand. Additionally, we contribute to energy generation through photovoltaic systems.
At our new Data Center Campus in Dielsdorf, we utilize a portion of the waste heat for the new office buildings directly on-site.
Additionally, a district heating network is being constructed in the community to make the waste heat usable for heating purposes for the population. In this way, we are making a valuable contribution to sustainable digitalization.
