A few months after its foundation, IDA, the Italian association of data centre builders and operators, scores a first important achievement in terms of environmental responsibility by signing the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact.
The pact comes in the wake of the enthusiasm for the Green Deal with the aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in a sector such as data centres, now more than ever called upon to ensure the digitisation of the country in a sustainable way.
It is a self-regulatory initiative involving more than a hundred companies active in the cloud and data centre sector in Europe to make their activities carbon neutral by 2030, 20 years ahead of the Green Deal’s 2050 roadmap.
The goals, measurable for 2025 and 2030, that the self-regulatory initiative has set itself are particularly ambitious, demonstrating how the data centre industry is determined to proactively drive the transition to a low-carbon economy.
By joining the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact IDA is therefore committed to sensitising all its members, as well as the most relevant companies in the sector, to align themselves with the pact.
