Africa Data Centres is dedicated to leading the way in creating a more sustainable future within the data centre industry. With a deep commitment to environmental responsibility, we’ve embarked on a journey to reduce our impact and set new standards for the sector. One of our key initiatives has been embracing renewable energy sources, significantly reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy. Through collaborations with entities like the City of Cape Town and ESKOM, we’ve secured 12MW of solar energy capacity. This step towards net-zero energy consumption reflects our vision of a greener future and serves as a model for others in the industry.
Our focus on sustainability extends beyond energy to include water conservation. By implementing closed-loop cooling systems across our facilities, we’ve greatly minimised water usage, achieving near-zero Water Usage Effectiveness. To ensure a stable water supply, especially during times of scarcity, we’ve also introduced innovative solutions like Atmospheric Water Generators and on-site storage. These efforts sustain our operations and allow us to contribute to the well-being of local communities when they need it most.
At Africa Data Centres, sustainability is woven into every aspect of our work. From energy efficiency to water management, we follow international standards like ISO50001 to guide our practices. This holistic approach highlights our dedication to not just meeting but exceeding the expectations of a responsible data centre.
As we continue to grow and expand our presence across the continent, our commitment to sustainability remains at the heart of our operations. We believe in leading by example, showing that with the right innovations and partnerships, a more sustainable future is within reach for everyone. Through these efforts, we hope to inspire others to join us on this path towards lasting positive change.
