Commitment, Conscience and Community
Consciousness and Commitm

We are dedicated to driving societal impact through the advancement of digitalization, while actively minimizing the environmental footprint of our operations. Our sustainability strategy focuses on key areas such as managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, optimizing energy efficiency, and reducing water usage. At the core of all our relationships lies a commitment to Ethics.

Energy Efficiency

Our data centers implement energy-saving measures through the use of advanced technologies, such as smarter equipment configurations, hot and cold aisle containment strategies, and power-efficient server setups.

Water Efficiency

We prioritize water conservation by utilizing precision equipment, such as air-cooled condensers and high-efficiency screw compressor chillers. This technology significantly reduces both water consumption and operational costs.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Management

To continuously improve our environmental performance, we conduct Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint assessments following the GHG Protocol methodology. This allows us to identify and address opportunities for further reduction of emissions.
