Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Service Express

Taking care of our people, communities and planet make us stronger at what we do. Although our work is far from over, we’re dedicated to creating positive impacts and experiences for all. Since our beginning, we’ve set out to solve problems, deliver better experiences and make decisions with people at the center of it all. We understand the ambition to strengthen our role in creating a positive impact is bold. With drive, determination and courage comes transformation.

Challenging the standard of what it means to be a data center solutions provider is woven into the fabric of our company. We look forward to running toward the unknown and seeing what we accomplish together.

Environmental Sustainability

Prioritizing our planet

This is a pivotal moment for the future of our world, and we must take action now. By strengthening our role in reducing our carbon footprint, protecting critical resources and developing eco-friendly solutions, we hope to generate positive change.

Environmental commitments:
- Provide multi-stream recycling, water refill stations, composting, LED lighting and more.
- Limit single-use plastics
- Reduce the quantity of printers to lower waste
- Maintain eco-cooling and PUE of 1.14 in European data centers.
- Offer charging stations to promote electric car usage.
- Utilize solar energy

Reducing carbon emissions and responsibly disposing of decommissioned equipment

Extending the life of data center hardware helps companies reduce their carbon footprint, unnecessary waste, overspending and more. Deciding to delay a hardware refresh avoids the need to manufacture equipment using raw materials, metals, packaging and transportation, in turn, decreasing the production of CO2. If a customer undergoes a hardware refresh based on capacity, compatibility and other requirements, our team ensures all decommissioned equipment is disposed following NIST 800-88 standards. The remaining equipment is either refurbished or recycled in a zero-landfill scrap facility.

Data centers powered by 100% renewable energy

Using clean energy and sustainable sources, our efficient data centers hold operate with renewable energy and have a power usage effectiveness rate (PUE) of 1.14. Our Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO)-certified data centers save around 2640 tonnes of CO2 each year.

Building a more sustainable future

We’re focused on accelerating and developing transformative change to fulfill our environmental commitments. To show our dedication to protecting critical resources, we’ve pledged to meet net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or earlier through the United Nation’s Climate Neutral Now initiative.

People are only as strong as their communities. By expanding our focus to the places we live, work and grow, we can make a difference around the world.
