Both the energy efficiency and local self-produced energy by using renewables are in line with Aruba's view towards a sustainable future. In fact, through our very own photovoltaic solar panel systems and owned hydroelectric power plants, we're already producing more green energy than what we actually need across our data centres. This enables a negative carbon footprint across all of our operations and allows us to support our activities and our customers' ones with zero impact on the environment. By choosing Climate Neutral Data Centres, everyone can actively contribute to the future of our planet.

Data centres are an imperative asset for our modern economy and as such, must be at the heart of our decarbonization efforts. Atos already powers 95% of its European network of data centres with carbon free energy and researches on new technologies such as hydrogen. By joining the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, we reaffirm our determination to support our customers’ decarbonization journey.

Considering that ensuring sustainable growth of our business and that of our customers is a value deeply inscribed in our DNA, joining this initiative was a natural step for us.
