DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Prime, an international hyperscale and wholesale data center provider, today published its inaugural sustainability report establishing key priorities and goals, informed by its 2023 materiality assessment. With a data center roadmap in excess of three gigawatts across the United States and Europe, comprehensive, consistent, and transparent ESG reporting will support responsible growth while promoting ideation and innovation.
"As a digital infrastructure leader, Prime is compelled to do our part in creating a world that thrives, where technology and sustainability advance together," said Nicholas Laag, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Prime Data Centers. "We conduct business in an industry that is highly energy intensive with sustained demand projected for years to come. This creates a sense of urgency but also motivation knowing that when we innovate and drive real progress, the potential for positive impact is material. Everyone at Prime has been motivated to complete this important first milestone and looks forward to achieving our program objectives."
The core pillars of Prime's sustainability strategy are "Protecting Our Home", "Serving Our Community," and "Living Our Values" with guiding principles that include innovation, collaboration, and impact. These underscore Prime's commitment to working with other digital infrastructure industry leaders to solve challenges for maximum, collective benefit.
The announcement of Prime's inaugural sustainability report coincides with its selection to the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN(2)) as one of ten multi-sectoral organizations helping to overcome demand-side market barriers and increase the adoption of late-stage clean technologies. IN(2) is funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and co-administered by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Highlights from Prime's inaugural sustainability report include the following:
Protecting our home
-- Issued strategic commitments including matching 100% of data center
electricity consumption with renewable sources by 2030 and calculating
and disclosing its greenhouse gas emissions inventory by the end of
2025.
-- Implemented a new data center design standard for increased resource
efficiency. 2023 operating portfolio benchmarks included 1.33 design PUE
at 100% critical load and a 0.005% site-level Water Usage Effectiveness
(WUE).
-- Procured Water Restoration Certificates® (WRCs) from Bonneville
Environmental Foundation equal to 120% of 2023 consumption for an
overall positive environmental impact. WRCs directly supported
restoration of the Chattahoochee River Basin reducing nutrient runoff
while improving water flow. Moving forward, Prime commits to annually
maintaining 120% coverage of operating data center water consumption.
Serving our communities

non-profit technology associations, including Colorado Technology
Association, SpainDC, PortugalDC, and DDI amongst others, to promote
STEM and women in technology initiatives.
-- Prime set 2023 employee pulse survey benchmarks with five of eight
categories ranking as "Great" or "Excellent". Move-forward objective is
to achieve "Great" or "Excellent" across all survey categories.
Living our values
-- The company demonstrated its commitment to collaboration with a Global
Partner-level membership in the Infrastructure Masons, appointing EVP
Jonathan Gibbs as an executive advisory board member. Prime also joined
the Clean Energy Buyers Association while extending its involvement with
the iMasons Climate Accord project with the addition of ESG VP Sarah
Martinez.

baselines, and identify metrics to track supplier efforts by the end of
