The U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Challenge is aimed at reducing energy use throughout businesses’ portfolios by at least 20% over 10 years. By 2017, we had improved energy performance by 42% from a 2014 baseline, far surpassing this goal and were recognized as the Highest Energy Saving Data Center Operator by the DOE. 

Sabey signed on to the Better Climate Challenge, committing to a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across our 3.8 million-square-foot portfolio over 10 years.  

Sabey is a proud ENERGY STAR Partner that consistently ranks at the very highest levels for building certifications by meeting strict EPA energy performance standards. A minimum score of 75 signifies that a building outperforms at least 75% of similar data centers, yet our facilities routinely score up to 100 on the scale. 

Sabey opted to pursue the Science-Based Target Initiative’s most ambitious goal: reducing absolute scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from a 2018 baseline and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. The SBTi independently assessed and approved our target and methods.  

Sabey received Gold recognition from the Green Lease Leaders program. The Green Lease Leaders program recognizes forward-thinking companies who foster high-performance by incorporating both energy efficiency and sustainability into its operating requirements.  

In 2021, Sabey Data Centers became one of the first 150 signatories to The Climate Pledge. This collaborative initiative, co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism, commits to reach net-zero carbon by 2040.
