ESG Our Progress A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND GROUP CEO Powering Advancement Bruno Lopez President & Group CEO A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND GROUP CEO Powering Advancement MORE The data centre industry reached a pivotal point in 2023, characterised by exponential growth that brought unique and interconnected challenges. With increasing demands for data processing and storage driving higher energy consumption, it has become crucial for data centres to prioritise sustainability. As one of the world’s fastest-growing data centres, sustainability remains at the core of our progress. We are committed to fostering a culture of care for our people and building a safe and healthy workplace, and I am pleased to share the remarkable progress we made in 2023. We achieved a 45.6% reduction in carbon intensity from our 2021 baseline and reached 62.5% renewable energy usage. Our efficiency advancements are further demonstrated through a 9.5% improvement in Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) across our operations. These milestones have facilitated our access to green financing, with over S$2.5 billion secured in 2023. On the social front, I’m particularly proud of our recognition as a Great Place to Work® in several markets where we operate. This accolade is a clear testament to our efforts in cultivating an exceptional workplace culture. Our dedication to creating a positive work environment that prioritises health and safety also extends to our partners, and I’m heartened to see that our efforts have led to a record-low incident rate of 0.06 in 2023. As we continue to expand our business, nurturing an outstanding workplace culture and upholding high standards of safety is imperative for attracting and retaining top talent, ensuring that STT GDC remains an exemplary place to work. As our business grows, we remain committed to deeply embedding sustainability into every facet of our business. Our goal is to ensure that we uphold our responsibilities to both our people and the planet as we forge ahead towards a resilient and sustainable digital future.
