Partnerships and collaboration at core of STACK ’ s practices As active members and signatories of various trade associations including the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact , as well as the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centre Energy Efficiency , Brown acknowledges that the best way to work towards a more sustainable and conscious future is together .
“ The key thing here is that it ’ s important for us to not operate in a vacuum ,” she stresses . “ We cannot operate in a silo . And so it ’ s important that the initiatives that we are putting out there are actually aligned with industry-based practice .”
Displaying how MIL01 delivers unparalleled levels of efficiency and sustainability as STACK and the wider industry work toward a climate-positive future , SVP of Schneider Electric ’ s Secure Power Division Marc Garner works closely with STACK representatives in their endeavours . MIL01 ’ s infrastructure is made up of Schneider Electric technology as well as that of its competitors .
Branding MIL01 a “ fantastic facility ”, Garner stresses the importance of collaboration industry-wide and beyond . “ The importance of partnerships is that we continue to challenge each other to improve in terms of how we deliver , build , design , operate and maintain data centres going forward ,” he champions . “ We want to be challenged , we want to be asked to do things better – to deliver more , to deliver on our Scope 3 ambitions going forward in our sustainability pledges .
“ Equally , we want to be able to challenge our customers . Can we do things differently ? Can we bring new technology ? That ’ s the essence of partnership and how we move forward .”
