Csquare climate goals focus on scope 1 and 2 emissions, as we can influence those the most. Scope 3, which include emissions from customer IT loads, will be evaluated in the future for benchmarking and goal setting.
Scope 1
Direct emissions from operations. This includes diesel emissions from backup generators and fugitive emissions from HVAC refrigerants.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions from purchased grid electricity.
Scope 3
Indirect emissions from our supply chain, including those from customer IT equipment.
Csquare energy targets

Carbon-free and renewable energy options are essential for data centers to reduce the environmental impact of their high energy density.
Carbon-free energy
Produced from resources that generate no carbon emissions, including marine energy, hydrokinetic, hydroelectric, nuclear, renewably sourced hydrogen, and renewable energy options.
Renewable energy
Produced from solar, wind, biomass, landfill gas, geothermal, municipal solid waste, or new hydroelectric generation capacity.
