Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework

As the digital economy continues to grow exponentially, future-ready yet sustainable digital infrastructure is more critical than ever. An accelerated computing revolution marked by a sharp rise in generative AI applications and other high-performance computing workloads compel data centres to swiftly adapt to meet the ever-increasing demands for power, scalability and efficiency while simultaneously addressing sustainability concerns and ensuring uninterrupted operations.

STT GDC’s data centres help to provide that digital foundation in the modern world, enabling connectivity. Our services are essential for society, governments and the global technology industry to function. Mindful that they are also part of an industry that must contend with growing resource consumption, we are determined to continuously improve our sustainability performance. Guided by science and fuelled by our dedication to responsible practices, we are balancing business growth with our commitment towards a resilient and sustainable digital future.

To further demonstrate our ESG commitment, we have updated our Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework with even more rigorous sustainability targets. This Framework serves to facilitate the structuring of STT GDC’s financing where applicable, and can take the form of Sustainability-Linked Financing Transactions (“SLFTs”) including, but not limited to, Sustainability-Linked Bonds (“SLBs”) [including Sustainability-linked Perpetuals (“SLPs”)] and Sustainability-Linked Loans (“SLLs”).

The documents relevant to our Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework are set out as below:
