SINGAPORE, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital Edge today published its 2026 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, themed "Staying Power: Scaling Up, Standing Out", marking the company’s progress across its expanding portfolio of 31 data centers.
This is Digital Edge’s fifth voluntary annual report, showcasing achievements including 26% renewable electricity across its operations, landmark green loans totaling nearly US$1.25 billion, and an industry-first recycled water initiative in India.
Digital Edge’s ESG strategy is anchored in three pillars – Respect for Resources, Respect for People and Communities, and Respect for Transparency – each embedded across its operations to drive sustainable, high-performance digital infrastructure.
"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."
