- Water – AtlasEdge will work with other data centre operators next year to establish an annual target for water usage effectiveness (WUE).
- Circular Economy – AtlasEdge will assess for reuse, repair, or recycling 100% of their used server equipment.
- Circular Energy System – AtlasEdge will explore possibilities to interconnect with district heating systems and other users of heat to determine if opportunities to feed captured heat from new data centres into nearby systems are practical, environmentally sound and cost effective.
- Governance – AtlasEdge will certify adherence no later than 1st July 2023. The initial period of measurement will cover 1st January 2022 through 31st December 2022.
