Green wins again

Interview with our Board Member, Ashley Davis and our CMO Marietta Hersche 

Dear Ashley, you have been supporting and advising Green for several years on strategic topcics and the company's growth strategy. What does this success mean for Green, and how will it influence our company's position in the industry? 

Winning the Data Cloud Global Award for the best project for waste heat utilisation in data centers is not just a milestone, but a testament to Green's reputation as a leader in sustainable innovation. This recognition strengthens our position in the industry and motivates us to continue focusing on environmentally friendly technologies. The award we received in London for the best data center project further underscores our ability to develop future-oriented and efficient solutions, enhancing our credibility in the industry. 

How important are sustainable practices like waste heat utilisation for the future of data centers? 

Waste heat utilisation exemplifies the principles of the circular economy, where resources are used more efficiently and waste is minimised. By repurposing the heat generated during the cooling of data centers, we significantly reduce energy consumption and ecological impact. All three data centers on our Metro Campus in Dielsdorf will be connected to the heating network, allowing us to use the waste heat from these facilities to heat 11,500 households and provide process heat to local industries. 

Our commitment to sustainable practices, such as waste heat utilisation, not only benefits the environment but also enhances our competitiveness through cost savings and an improved sustainability profile. By integrating circular economy concepts, we are creating a more resilient and resource-efficient infrastructure for the future, a future that we are confident will be brighter and more sustainable. 

What role does design play in the development of modern data centers, and how does it contribute to our success? 

Design plays a crucial role in the development of modern data centers. It goes beyond constructing efficient and high-performing facilities; it also involves creating an environment that inspires and supports both employees and customers. Thoughtful design enhances operational efficiency, simplifies maintenance, and boosts safety. Winning the award for best design demonstrates Green's capability to create innovative and attractive solutions that meet the highest standards and delight our customers. Additionally, our commitment to customer orientation ensures that our designs are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of our clients. Moreover, a well-designed data center directly impacts operating costs, service availability, and the company's ability to adapt to changes and new requirements. Therefore, a meticulously planned data center is a crucial element of any company's IT infrastructure, ensuring efficiency, reliability, security, and flexibility. 

AI and digitalisation are accelerating everything. How will Green's growth journey continue? 

Our growth strategy is centred on expanding our capabilities and market presence while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and innovation. We plan to invest further in research and development to pioneer new technologies that enhance data center efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, we aim to expand our global footprint by entering new markets and forming strategic partnerships. By focusing on continuous improvement and staying ahead of industry trends, we believe Green will continue to lead the way in sustainable data center solutions. 

We are proud of these awards and see them as an incentive to continue striving for excellence and actively shaping the future of the data center industry. 
 

Thank you, Ashley, for your insights.
