Targeting Net Zero Carbon by 2030
CDC is targeting to transition to Net Zero Carbon by 2030 for scope 1, 2 and defined scope 3, including customer ICT load, operational water and waste, business travel and accommodation, for our business in Australia by reducing the carbon intensity of our facilities, even as we grow.
Our New Zealand data centres have been Toitū net zero carbon certified since their first year of operation. Both campuses use 100 per cent renewable power and are certified Toitū enviromark diamond.
World-class data centre water usage efficiency
CDC has taken a deliberate approach to design and implement an innovative closed-loop cooling system to increase water efficiency across all data centre campuses.
As a result, CDC is one of the most water efficient data centres in Australia and New Zealand. Although we are already setting the standard in the industry, we have a target to continue to improve our Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) from our 2023 baseline.
Zero waste to landfill by 2030
Building on our achievements to date, we are progressing towards achieving zero waste to landfill certification across all our data centre campuses.
As part of our progress, we are establishing systems and processes which rethink the linear economic model of 'buy, use, throw away' to move towards a more circular approach.
