We are committed to our sustainability strategy, and we have made a lot of progress toward our goals in recent years. We also understand that we still have work to do to achieve our goal.

This holistic ESG sustainability strategy leads to EdgeConneX goal in 2030 of becoming a carbon-, waste-, and water-neutral data center provider, developing and operating a data center platform powered by 100% renewable energy.
