A global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, Digital Realty has published its third annual “Environmental, Social and Governance Report.”
The report provides transparency on the company’s ESG performance for 2020 along with a comprehensive overview of its commitment to clean energy, resource conservation, diversity, equity and inclusion as well as other sustainable business practices.
In 2020, Digital Realty committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 (direct and indirect emissions) by 68% and Scope 3 (indirect emissions within the company’s extended value chain) by 24% per area by 2030 from 2018 levels. These goals are in line with a 1.5-degree climate change scenario and have been validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative.
“We took meaningful action to advance our ESG priorities in 2020, establishing ambitious climate impact reduction targets, significantly expanding our social justice efforts and enhancing the diversity of our Board,” said Digital Realty CEO A. William Stein.
“We are doing our best to play a constructive, proactive role in advancing our objective of delivering sustainable growth for stakeholders, customers, employees and the communities we serve around the world,” he added.
