OUR EMISSIONS TARGET
50% Reduction in Scope 1 and 2 by 2033

In 2019, Evoque transformed into a digital infrastructure powerhouse following its acquisition of AT&T's renowned data centers. Next up: ESG. Shorthand for environmental, social, and governance, Evoque’s ESG strategy will bring proven, existing policies and new, ambitious targets under one umbrella. Here at Evoque we know the growing footprint the data center industry has, and we are holding ourselves accountable for our impact on the planet.

Currently, Evoque’s climate goals cover scope 1 and 2 emissions. Like many businesses, scope 3 is most of our emissions, including those from customer IT loads. Though this is an indirect emission to Evoque, we recognize the significant impact of our scope 3 emissions, and are collaborating with customers, suppliers, and other sources of emissions on reduction strategies. Evoque is committed to better understanding our scope 3 emissions and setting targets alongside scopes 1 and 2.

Environmental

Evoque’s approach to environmental stewardship considers our existing portfolio as well as on-site expansions and planned acquisitions. Our initial focus is on increasing the efficiency of our portfolio with UPS upgrades, cooling optimization technologies, and techniques to ensure continued energy efficiencies today and into the future. Targets will focus on emissions reduction, energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste management. Site types (existing, expanding, and new construction) will determine specific projects and approaches.

Social

Our social initiatives touch our employees, customers, and the communities where we operate. Past efforts have included stellar safety records, community impact projects, and DEIB events. Our future-facing goals will focus on employee engagement, training, and personal development; safety; health and wellness; culture and values; community impact; and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB).

Governance

Evoque has had a long history of responsible business practices, and we will continue to improve performance and transparency in this area. Governance targets will continue to focus on cyber security, privacy, ethical business practices, and diverse suppliers. Just as importantly, none of this matters without our customers, and we pride ourselves on 100% uptime and customer satisfaction. Compliments from our customers are testament to the reliability of our data centers: “they don’t make data centers like this anymore.”
