Our sustainable development policy
“We are at a crossroads between technological performance and sustainability”
The year 2024 marks a major turning point, not only for Data4, but also for the European and worldwide data center industry as a whole. At a time when the digital transformation is moving up a gear, driven by the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence and new digital uses, our infrastructures are a pivotal element in the strategic challenges of connectivity, storage and computing. However, this digital revolution comes with another equally fundamental requirement – responding to environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns. At Data4, our responsibility goes beyond simply supplying high-performance secure infrastructures. We are the architects of a unique balance between technological innovation and sustainability. This 2024 ESG report illustrates our determination to reconcile these two dimensions to build the future in a responsible manner.
Our approach
Our approach to sustainable development is comprehensive, covering the following four areas:
Our commitments
