We recognise the importance of protecting our planet and believe that all businesses have a responsibility to minimise their environmental impact. That’s why we’ve made a commitment to going green by choosing data centres powered by 100% renewable energy and adhering to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard.

 

Our Data Centres and Renewable Energy

Data centres are an essential component of our operations, but they can be energy-intensive, consuming vast amounts of electricity. We believe that choosing data centres powered by renewable energy is the most effective way to reduce our carbon footprint. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, making them a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

Our data centres are powered by 100% renewable energy, meaning that the electricity we use comes from clean sources that do not contribute to climate change. Having a data centre that focuses on sustainable design and operations means that we have an industry-beating PUE (Power usage effectiveness) score. All our facilities have a PUE of 1.4 or below. 

 

Environmental Standards and ISO 14001 Certification

We adhere to the ISO 14001 standard, which is an internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems. This standard provides a framework for organisations to manage their environmental responsibilities in a systematic and sustainable manner.

At ProStack, we have implemented an environmental management system that aligns with the ISO 14001 requirements. This system ensures that we identify and manage our environmental impacts, set environmental objectives and targets, and continuously improve our environmental performance.

Our commitment to ISO 14001 means that we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and are continuously striving to minimise our impact on the environment.
