Data Center Sustainability Action Plan

A follow-up guide to White Paper 67: Guide to Environmental Sustainability Metrics for Data Centers

The data center industry has the opportunity to build on its success in energy efficiency and work towards becoming the most sustainable industry in the world. To do so, technology vendors, contractors, and data center operators must work in concert to set bold goals, measure progress, and report on achievements across all environmental impacts. These include energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, waste, and local ecosystems.

This e-guide outlines Schneider Electric’s position on the actions data centers should take to improve sustainability across all five categories of environmental impact. These actions are categorized by Design/Build and Operate/Maintain to further aid the readers on the most relevant suggestions for their situation.
