The data centre industry is continuously growing and critical for a green future. Sustainability matters. Therefore, data centres need to find ways to reduce their energy as well as water consumption and balance their carbon footprint.
Furthermore, the modern data centre environment needs to be a highly adaptable space that provides the ability to respond quickly and easily to client, organisational and technological changes – all while being cost-effective in both construction and operation.
Now that more data centres will be needed to provide the crucial services needed to connect people around the world, a sustainable infrastructure is essential to pave the way for a green future.
How can data centres operate more sustainably?
Together with the European commission, data centre operators and trade associations created a self-regulatory initiative to make data centres climate neutral by 2030. This “Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact” was agreed on to achieve an environmentally friendly future.
Signatories of that initiative committed themselves to…
- … prove energy efficiency with measurable targets,
- … purchase 100% carbon-free energy,
- … prioritise water conservation,
- … reuse and repair servers &
- … look for ways to recycle heat.

How can our brand sales for export contribute to building data centres and making them more sustainable?
At all our brand sales we offer enormous aesthetic flexibility with a vast range of insulated panel profiles supported by state-of-the-art specialist fabrications. Wherever quality, durability and fireproof resilience is required our panel systems and fireproof materials are the perfect choice to protect life and property.
Our innovative QuadCore® Technology helps decreasing energy costs and the carbon food print of the new plant. Hoesch® and EMS® products excel in this respect due to their thermal performance. Particularly, EMS® Cold Store panels are ideal for buildings with high thermal insulation properties due to their joint design and QuadCore® insulation core.
Increasingly, technology companies are using the proven fire protection sandwich panels by Paroc Panel System to safeguard their valuable data. Paroc Panel System offers an all-in-one solution for fireproof facilities or interiors with non-combustible panels and specially designed details and accessories. Together with in-house acoustic specialists Paroc Panel System developed special acoustic panel wall solutions with sound insulation of up to 65 dB, as these are required in data halls in connection with generator rooms. In addition, the panels recommend for data centres are very smooth and easy to maintain clean, as flat surfaces do not collect dust, which is deadly for servers.
As a manufacturer, we are conscious about where we have an impact; from our sourcing of raw materials, to how we run our manufacturing plant, to the composition of our final product. To play our part in creating a green future we introduced “Planet Passionate” – our ambitious 10-year global sustainability strategy that aims to impact on three big global issues: climate change, circularity and protection of our natural world. Our advanced QuadCore® insulation technology generates significant energy savings for buildings. It offers a leading thermal performance, that is also guaranteed to remain constant for a minimum of 25 years.
These are just a few reasons why partnering up with us is the best choice for data centres to build a sustainable infrastructure.
