Material ESG Topics
Which ESG topics are most material for technology & data center companies?
Cooling Is the Structural Energy Problem, Not a Fixable Inefficiency
Cooling systems account for roughly 40% of a data centre's total energy load because heat removal is a physical requirement of dense compute, not a wasteful practice. Meaningfully lowering energy use requires re-engineering cooling architecture, not just better housekeeping.
