BEIJING, April 2, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Chindata Group (Nasdaq: CD), a leading
carrier-neutral hyperscale data center solution provider in
Asia-Pacific emerging
markets, has released its second annual Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Report today, which highlights the
company's 2020 ESG results towards its 2030 carbon-neutrality goal
and digital-inclusiveness vision.
With the theme of "Inspiring with Power", the Report includes a
detailed roadmap for carbon neutrality, demonstrating Chindata

the first digital technology company in China to release a carbon-neutral roadmap. We
focus on mastering the core technologies in key areas to address
digital development challenges, laying a solid foundation for a
more sustainable and inclusive digital life for all."
Some of the key highlights are:
- Fifty-one percent of its owned data centers were powered by
renewable energy, a 14 percent increase from 37 percent in 2019,
making it the best performing digital technology company in terms
of sustainability.
- In 2020, Chindata Group reduced 368,886 tons of carbon dioxide
emission, an equivalent of planting about 200,000 trees every
day.
- Chindata Group is China's
first data center company to disclose its power usage exceeding 1
billion kWh in 2020 and energy savings reaching 391,640,000
