We will continue reducing our carbon footprint, increasing resource efficiencies, and enhancing the lives of our people and communities for generations to come.”
SUSTAINABILITY | The team at AirTrunk is proud to have received a 4-STAR rating in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). With a total score of 86/100, AirTrunk is 14 points ahead of the peer average. AirTrunk is striving towards a leadership position in sustainability, with the recent announcement of our Sustainability Linked Loan (the largest in global data centre history), and the upcoming release of our first sustainability report detailing our achievements and roadmap. While we continue our sustainability journey, the GRESB result reinforces that we are headed in the right direction. Watch this space.
SUSTAINABILITY | In an APAC-first by a data centre operator, AirTrunk has converted our existing corporate loan facility (A$2.1b+) to a Sustainability Linked Loan. It is the largest in global data centre history and the first globally to utilise Operating PUE as a Sustainability KPI. The existing loan as well as future increment loans and investment will now be sustainability linked, ensuring long-lasting positive impact on the environment and community as we further expand our hyperscale data centre platform across APAC. AirTrunk CFO, Prashant Murthy said: “Today’s announcement showcases AirTrunk’s leadership position in designing, building, operating and now financing digital infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region in a sustainable way.” Stay tuned for our first Sustainability Report being released soon as well as other exciting new sustainability initiatives.
THE FUTURE OF DATA CENTRES | AirTrunk’s General Manager Operations, Laura Coad recently addressed an Urban Land Institute ULI Hong Kong Women’s Leadership Initiative event on the future of data centres in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. In terms of market trends, Laura said: “Sustainability is high on the agenda for our customers, investors and communities. With the lowest design PUE in 100% of our markets, we tap into renewable energy sources and sustainability initiatives across the wider value chain to continuously reduce our carbon footprint.” Speaking on the future of data centres in the region, “The development of GBA and ongoing investment in innovation and technology in Hong Kong will advance the region into a global technology hub. AirTrunk will continue setting the standard for hyperscale data centres in the region, delivering the speed, scale, efficiency and flexibility that the world’s largest technology companies need to enable the future growth of the cloud.”
