New Era For Climate Neutral Data Center Pact
The Climate Neutral Data Center Pact (the Pact) today announces a shift from self-regulation to providing industry insight to aid compliance with existing regulations and help shape future environmental goals and metrics. The Pact’s new governance, agreed in collaboration with the European Commission, recognises that as mandatory reporting is introduced there is no longer a need for duplicative, self-audits on key climate sustainability measures. Since 2021, the Pact has played a central role in defining goals and metrics for sustainable power consumption, energy and water efficiency and circular economy measures for data centers. From now on, it will partner with the Commission to provide consistent, informed and data-evidenced views that help to establish effective targets, measures and procedures to maintain and advance the data center sector’s leadership in delivering a green and digital economy for Europe. Rather than duplicate reporting, the Pact will now focus its knowledge, insight and experience on assisting regulators in setting and measuring effective targets that quickly move the sector to climate neutral operations.” Pact members will, from 2025, no longer be required to conduct specific audits against Pact goals.
