Vantage Data Centers, the global provider of hyperscale data centre campuses and owner of the largest data centre in Europe, said it will achieve net zero carbon emissions globally by 2030.
With Vantage’s commitment to net zero carbon emissions, the company, which has a one million sq ft campus near Cardiff, said it not only actively work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but will also invest in technologies and projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere.
The firm's goal specifically targets reductions for emissions that the company directly controls, Scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as reductions that it can guide or influence throughout its supply chain. Vantage is creating interim reduction targets that are in alignment with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) methodology, which defines and promotes emissions reduction in line with climate science.
“Vantage is taking a forward-looking approach to decarbonization by investing in the team, technology and processes needed to actively reduce our carbon footprint across the design, construction and operation of our data center campuses,” said Amanda Sutton, senior director of sustainability, Vantage Data Centers. “Our comprehensive strategy includes everything from the use of renewable energy to water conservation, waste reduction and recycling. We are making a strong commitment to sustainability while also rapidly expanding globally to support our customers’ technological innovations today and into the future.”
