Sustainability, combined with a design ethos that focuses on proven technologies to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions, continues to play a key part in all projects that 2bm delivers for new and legacy data centre facilities.

In addition to a raft of environmental accreditations, including ISO 14001: 2015 and the EcoVadis gold standard, 2bm are CEEDA-certified designers and endorsers of the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres.

Luke Radford, 2bm’s Sustainability Lead, commented: “From the time we first joined the Carbon Management and Sustainability Programme to where we are today, one of our key business goals is to reduce our carbon impact.”

“This is perfectly reflected in 2bm’s Environmental and Carbon Assessment Report for business travel, utilities, waste and recycling during 2023 which, I am delighted to say, shows that we achieved a 36% carbon reduction,” added Luke.

As a business that designs and builds data centres, 2bm is committed to finding an integrated approach that takes into consideration environmental concerns with all projects which are placed in our care.
