Sustainability in the data center industry is still measured mostly by what happens inside the fence — and mostly after the decisions that matter have already been made.
dcently was recently featured in the Swedish data center magazine Framtidens Datacenter, where we talked about why the industry needs a shared language for sustainable growth: what a decent data center actually is, which impacts are still unreported, and how operators, suppliers, customers, investors and municipalities can align on evidence rather than claims.
That is the work behind the dcently ESG Playbook. It starts with listening: the dcently Sustainability Pulse gathers perspectives from across the ecosystem, wave after wave, so the industry can see how priorities, risks and expectations move over time — and act on them earlier in the lifecycle, where the real decisions are taken.
