Tackling Greenhouse Gases


A comprehensive sustainability strategy for data center operators includes a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal that encompasses Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, addressing data center operations and critical suppliers.

A data center GHG emissions reduction plan should optimize and minimize energy consumption and focus on the procurement of renewable or zeroemissions energy to supply the data center. Executive support for staffing and resources to execute the plan is critical.

This report is part of a larger series titled "Digital infrastructure sustainability – a manager’s guide" and focuses on owned data center operations, including enterprise, colocation facilities, and cloud operations (Scope 1 and 2); IT operations in colocation data centers (Scope 2 and 3); and IT workloads running in public cloud facilities (Scope 3).
