Chindata Group is first company in Asia Pacific to win GCA’s Best ESG Initiative award
28 Oktober 2021 - 5:09AM
Chindata Group announces that it has won Best Environmental,
Social, Governmental (ESG) Initiative in the prestigious 17th
Global Carrier Awards (GCA) that took place on 21 October, an event
dubbed the “Oscars of the global computing infrastructure
industry”, becoming the first computing infrastructure company in
Asia Pacific to receive the honor.
Carl Roberts, Judge Chairman of the GCA and winner
of the Lifetime Achievement Award, acknowledged Chindata Group as a
top hyperscale computing infrastructure enterprise that has
demonstrated leadership in exploring, participating in, and scaling
up initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality, as well as its ESG
management in Asia Pacific, especially emerging markets.
Chindata Group has been adhering to a net
zero-carbon philosophy. It took the lead in committing to achieve
its carbon neutral goals, wherein all of its next-generation
hyperscale data centers around the globe will be powered by 100%
renewable energy solutions by 2040. To this end, Chindata Group has
proactively implemented net zero carbon emissions solutions for
computing infrastructure, including direct green power trading,
innovative regional green power consumption mechanisms, development
of renewable energy power stations, and development of integrated
power generation-grid-load-storage projects.
As the first company in China's internet technology
industry to launch a 2030 Carbon Neutral Roadmap, Chindata Group
has been one of the frontrunners in terms of green power
transaction volume for three consecutive years. In China’s first
nationwide green power transaction, which concluded in September,
Chindata completed a procurement of 100 million kilowatt-hours
(kWh) and became the largest green power buyer in the computing
infrastructure industry. In addition, according to the recent
China's Top Clean Energy Buyers and Sellers, 2021 report published
by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Chindata Group led the list of
China's Top Clean Energy Buyers.
With its goal being to help China achieve its goals
of reaching peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by
2060, Chindata Group became the first company in China's internet
technology industry to directly invest in and operate renewable
energy power plants. It is also China’s first internet technology
company where the annual renewable energy use in its owned data
centers accounted for more than 50% of its total power consumption,
scoring the highest in Greenpeace’s renewable energy rankings for
two years in a row. In 2020, by using renewable energy and
improving its efficiency, Chindata Group reduced its carbon
emissions by a total of approximately 845,000 tons, equivalent to
the amount of carbon dioxide offset by planting about 450,000 trees
every day.
