As part of our Sustainability Policy and in line with our company values, atNorth have outlined a set of goals and objectives to guide our sustainability agenda. We seek to align our measures with global standards, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). 

Progress on sustainability

To be the partner of choice for organizations wishing to lower their carbon footprint, we have implemented a Sustainability Policy in line with developing and delivering a high-performance, decarbonizing platform. 

Our Policy outlines our responsibilities and details the steps we will take to achieve them across all levels of operation, enhanced with measured accountability, complete transparency and an unwavering focus on sustainable business growth within the surrounding community and environment. 

atNorth remains steadfast in our vision to be the Nordic leader in delivering more compute for a better world, this is the very reason for our Nordic presence.

Frequently asked questions

How do your data center operations align with your strategy?

Our sustainability strategy guides our business in all related matters and is aligned to the company’s values, vision, growth and stakeholder priorities in three ways:

Environment: we aim to enable circularity and dependability in climate matters by minimizing waste and optimizing energy usage.

Society: we hope to empower the communities where we operate and our people.

Economy: we instill integrity into everything we do and aspire to make responsible decisions that always consider the environment.

Do you use renewable energy to power your data centers?

atNorth’s Nordic locations ensure that all our sites are powered by renewable energy sources. Two-thirds of electricity produced in the Nordics comes from renewable resources and the entire region is on track to become fully carbon neutral by 2050, with some countries setting ambitious targets to achieve this by 2035.

Do you build your data center with sustainability in mind?

Across our sites, we prioritize the use and reuse of lower-carbon materials in our buildings, such as the use of glulam, a natural alternative to steel or concrete. Glulam is made with wood from sustainable forests where the manufacture, distribution and treatment all consume less energy than other building materials.
