Data center operators give themselves a “Fail” for sustainability
The global data center industry describes its own sustainability performance as average, compared with other industries — and most think efforts are not substantially reducing environmental impacts.
A recent Uptime Institute global survey of over 400 data center owners and operators asked whether the industry’s environmental commitments are effective in curbing data center energy use, water use and greenhouse gas emissions. Only 38% say yes, while just under half (45%) of respondents say the industry's commitments deliver few or no meaningful reductions in environmental impacts (see Figure 1).
