GDS Holdings Limited (“GDS Holdings”, “GDS” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: GDS; HKEX: 9698), a leading developer and operator of
high-performance data centers in China and South East Asia, today
announced the release of its third annual Environmental, Social and
Governance (“ESG”) report, detailing the Company’s ongoing
sustainability efforts and its ESG performance.
In a significant development, GDS is delighted to announce that,
through implementing a diverse strategy for renewable energy
replacement, it achieved a renewable energy usage of 35.9% in 2022.
Notably, 30 data centers are now covered entirely by renewable
energy sources. This accomplishment has led to an impressive
reduction in the Company’s carbon intensity, down to 5.40 tCO2e/m2
in 2022. To fortify the reporting framework and proactively address
financial risks associated with climate change, GDS has embraced
the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)
framework, providing transparency on climate-related risks and
opportunities that bolster the Company’s business resilience.
“Over the past year, we executed a comprehensive ESG strategy
designed to address the distinct challenges and opportunities in
our data center operations,” said Mr. William Huang, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that sustainable business
practices not only contribute to the long-term success and
resilience of our Company but also make a real difference in our
industry, propelling benefits for society and the environment. We
are thrilled about the positive impact that we as a team can bring
about and the progress we are making toward achieving our goal of
carbon neutrality by 2030.”
