Q . HOW DOES CYRUSONE , AND YOU PERSONALLY , WORK TOWARDS GREATER SUSTAINABILITY ?

» Having worked in the data centre industry for most of my career , it is clear that now is a pivotal time for taking action .

CyrusOne is a founding member of the European Data Centre Association ’ s Board of Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact Europe ( CNDCP ) and one of over 70 + companies and associations in Europe committed to taking the necessary steps to make data centres climate neutral by 2030 . As such , being appointed to the Pact was an immensely proud moment for me – and CyrusOne as a whole .
In this role , I work alongside my fellow directors to set the direction for the CNDCP , work closely with the European Commission , liaise with work groups representing each of the four pillars of the Pact ( energy efficiency , clean energy , water and circular economy ) and oversee decision-making .
Through sustainable design , the implementation of renewable resources , operational excellence and more , we are working tirelessly to make progress towards our pledge .
