Goals and priorities

Sustainability is a corner stone for atNorth’s vision and mission. We want to develop a business that creates value at a local and global level through sustainable and restorative practices, positively impacting local communities and nature.

We will continue to align our business with global sustainability objectives while expanding our focus beyond ‘doing less harm’ towards creating positive, regenerative outcomes.

Strategic priorities

True to our vision of ‘more compute for a better world, we are building on our existing sustainability strategy and aligning our business growth with sustainable and regenerative principles. The planetary boundaries and social foundations form the core framework for this strategy, guiding our priorities and actions across our own operations as well as our wider value chain. In 2024, atNorth outlined a sustainability and regeneration strategy. This strategy has been further matured and expanded in 2025.

Sustainability and beyond

Our ambition and commitment remain unchanged: we want to eliminate our negative impacts, which we see as the pathway towards sustainability, and push for more restorative and regenerative impacts – this requires taking intentional, strategic action that restores ecosystems, strengthens social foundations, and contributes positively to the regions and communities in which we operate.

Frequently asked questions

How do you actively manage your carbon footprint?

The Nordic climate allows us to leverage extensive air cooling, reducing reliance on mechanical systems and lowering energy use, which ultimately helps decrease our overall carbon footprint. Alongside this, we continue to strengthen real time energy management through enhanced monitoring, load forecasting and operational scheduling to optimize performance throughout the year.

Do you build your data centers with the community in mind?

The local communities that surround our sites play a central role in atNorth’s approach to data center development. We take great pride and seek to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships by maintaining a strong local presence, creating employment opportunities, and supporting initiatives that advance sustainability, restoration, and circular use of resources. Community integration is considered from the earliest stages of site development and remains a priority throughout operations.
