A purpose-built assessment for data centers.
As investment in data centers accelerates, so does scrutiny around power demand, water use, grid interaction, operational resilience, and community impact. These issues are becoming increasingly important considerations for development approvals, stakeholder trust, capital allocation, and long-term investment value.
Developed through a global working group and tested in a pilot with 40+ organizations, the Data Center Assessment provides a consistent and credible framework for data center developers and operators to assess and communicate how they manage these material sustainability risks and impacts.
Built with industry input and refined through a global pilot, the Assessment is designed specifically for the operational, development, and investment realities of the data center sector.
