The key to a sustainable digital economy is data center operators
Our sustainable development policy
Our commitment
The impact of the invisible
However imperceptible it may be to the naked eye, data is everywhere. It connects everything we do, nurtures our relationships and secures our transactions.
In the workplace as elsewhere, our lives are connected to the digital world, whether we are talking, working or travelling.
In a fraction of a second, one click and a whole world comes to life. Data4 involves innovative men and women, years of research, a region in action and commitments to contributing to the development of more responsible digital infrastructure.
As a manufacturer and operator of data centres, we are constantly innovating to offer solutions that are more respectful of the environment, while at the same time contributing to the dynamism of the regions we operate in. Like Quality and Adaptability, sustainable development is at the heart of our corporate strategy.
By placing the quest for a sustainable future at the heart of what we do, we are providing a digital campus model that is unique in Europe. Through our ambitious Data4Good programme, we are fully committed to transforming the data sector for the planet, for people and places, while ensuring that we are an inspiring leader in our field in terms of governance.
Reducing the environmental impact of human activity (greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, depletion of natural resources, biodiversity loss, etc.) is a major collective challenge. Aware of its responsibility, Data4 is fully involved in reducing its environmental impact and is committed to combating global warming.
