STACK INFRASTRUCTURE

John

Eland , EMEA CEO at STACK , on 18 Months of Growth , Sustainability , and Positive Relationships
WATCH NOW to ESG and delivery , with local laws , boundaries and obligations varying from location to location . STACK ’ s approach to ESG is global at its core , but flexible so that when implemented at a local level it serves the needs of communities .
“ We unlock so much value when our global regions are collaborating and sharing best practices with different yet regionally relevant initiatives ,” Brown explains .
STACK has implemented a number of progressive ESG initiatives on a local level , such as heat reuse solutions and rainwater harvesting . One of its most pioneering projects is in Oslo , Norway , where heat from STACK ’ s data centre is reused to warm up to 5,000 city homes . Brown adds : “ STACK is also factoring in local biodiversity as part of our basis of design . This means looking to incorporate low-maintenance green facades which cover the building with native species of vegetation . It ’ s very attractive for the aesthetics of an industrial area and attracts wildlife as well . Conservation efforts with campus beehives is another initiative we ’ re particularly proud of .”
In 2024 , STACK will launch its new global ESG framework and commitments , bringing a holistic approach to ESG across all areas of STACK worldwide .
