AT-A-GLANCE
- Customer requirements, business value, government regulations, and community sentiment are among the top drivers of data center providers’ investments in environmental sustainability.
- The approach to sustainability has evolved over the years—from a focus on energy efficiency, then water efficiency, to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, waste, and local ecosystem impact.
- Sustainability is a joint effort between data center providers, their customers, and their capital partner. At Principal, we work closely with our data center providers to reduce the environmental impact of their operations.
