Sustainability measurement and reporting

Whether you are tracking metrics for compliance reporting or monitoring progress towards your goals, it is crucial to measure and monitor data center sustainability KPIs across energy, emissions, water, and other areas of impact.

Key sustainability metrics

Our industry-leading white paper, Guide to Environmental Sustainability Metrics from Data Centers, presents 28 key metrics across five impact areas.

Identify a reporting system

An environmental sustainability management software presents data from multiple sources, enabling analytics, reporting, and optimization.

Improve sustainability reporting

Transparent reporting is key to demonstrating your data center’s commitment to sustainability. Let our team of experts help you collect, manage, and report data.

Catalyze PPA Partnership

We have partnered with Intel and Applied Materials to launch a combined PPA, driving sustainability across the semiconductor value chain.

Scope 3 emissions and decarbonization

How can data centers measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions? Begin with an inventory and accounting to help prioritize areas of reduction, and explore how to decarbonize your data center’s supply chain.

What are Scope 3 emissions?

Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions often difficult to monitor because they outside a company’s direct control. Our research shows how to make a systematic inventory and begin monitoring.

Supply chain decarbonization

Reduce supply chain emissions to decrease your carbon footprint while improving resilience and reliability. Our experts can help you model decarbonized resource use across your supply chain.

Data Center Lifecycle CO₂ calculator

Our calculator estimates and sees key drivers of your data center’s carbon footprint. Try it to see which emissions sources to prioritize for reduction.

Selecting low-carbon, sustainable solutions

How can you tell if the data center solutions you purchase are truly sustainable? Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are critical to determining embedded carbon and making product comparisons to evaluate data center sustainability impact.

Sustainable products by design

Learn about the standards for product labeling and how to read an environmental declaration document.

Explore our EPDs

Look up our product environmental information including embedded carbon and RoHS and REACH compliance.
