As AI, crypto, and cloud technology surge, data centres are growing fast - powering progress, but also placing demands on energy, water, and land.

In this report our SDP Roundtable collaborated with leading cloud and data centre providers to examine both sides of the data centre equation and how we can reshape risks into innovation opportunities.

The report also provides practical ideas from for how executives can reduce their organisation’s digital footprint and demand on data centres, including:

• Connecting to why

• Embedding sustainability metrics from procurement to performance

• Using only what you need

• Reviewing your data

• Getting involved with climate reporting
