Digital Edge publishes 2026 ESG report covering 31 data centers

Digital Edge published its 2026 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report as a voluntary annual update on progress across a portfolio of 31 data centers.

The company presented the report as its fifth such publication and linked its ESG activities to expanding renewable electricity, green finance, and a recycled water initiative in India.

The report describes a renewable electricity figure of 26% across operations, compared with 21% in 2024. It also cites green loans totaling nearly US$1.25 billion, LEED certifications for EDGE2 (Gold) and TYO7 (Silver), and 100% uptime across operational data centers with no material service disruptions recorded in 2025.

Digital Edge said the India recycled water initiative involved up to 10 million liters of treated greywater deployed daily at the BOM campus in Navi Mumbai for cooling. It also referenced underground fiber expansion in Indonesia for service continuity through Indonet, with Jakarta fiber network growth since 2024 and 92% running underground. John Freeman, Group CEO of Digital Edge, said, “Over the past year, we scaled with sustainability at the core – expanding renewable electricity across our portfolio, advancing green finance to support efficient growth, and investing in practical solutions for resource stewardship across our fastest-growing markets,” said John Freeman, Group CEO of Digital Edge. “As demand for AI-ready digital infrastructure accelerates, responsible growth is no longer optional; it is now a baseline requirement from customers, investors, and regulators for operating in our sector.”

The company also reported that its Green Finance Framework received an SQS2 (Very Good) rating from Moody’s and that it signed the UN Global Compact, while stating it remained on track for an ambition of 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
