Hitachi Vantara Releases FY2025 Sustainability Report on Energy-Efficient Infrastructure
Hitachi Vantara released its FY2025 Sustainability Report, outlining updates to how it addressed energy efficiency and governance across its infrastructure. The report matters because it adds detail on initiatives aimed at managing environmental impact while supporting AI and data-intensive workloads.
The company tied its sustainability work to operational demands as organizations increased AI adoption and data usage. It cited rising electricity needs for data infrastructure and described an associated challenge of balancing performance with environmental impact, while facing pressure to reduce costs.
In the report, Hitachi Vantara described energy monitoring, carbon reduction, and sustainability reporting tied to its Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) data platform. It also expanded lifecycle assessment initiatives across its VSP One Block, File and Object portfolios and referenced the Clear Sight dashboard for energy and carbon visibility. The report included figures on post-consumer recycled plastics use, with up to 50% recycled content in key components, and stated that less than 0.3% of materials went to landfill.
Hitachi Vantara also reported governance and data quality improvements for emissions tracking across Scope 1, Scope 2, and key Scope 3 categories, aimed at audit readiness and data accuracy. “Sustainability is increasingly tied to operational performance and business outcomes,” said Akinobu Shimada, CEO of Hitachi Vantara. The report referenced customer deployments, including storage upgrades with VSP One Block at Aquiris (Belgium), VSP One Block deployment at DestekBank (Turkey), and data infrastructure modernization for Malayala Manorama (India). “Hitachi Vantara is helping us fulfill our goal of creating a sustainable process for safeguarding supplies of clean water and supporting the growth and development of Brussels,” said Juan Ochoa, managing plant director, Aquiris. “The performance gains with VSP One Block will be significant. We are constantly collecting data, tracking KPIs and monitoring our purification processes. The improvement in storage capabilities will help us respond quickly to issues and optimize our plant operations.”
