Our Climate Pledge
Sabey Data Centers has pioneered sustainability within the data center industry with a focus on whole-building energy efficiency, which preserves our natural resources, reduces emissions, and ultimately boosts our customers’ bottom lines. Our core value of insightful stewardship advises our commitments to doing what is right for our environment and communities, team members and tenants.
Sabey Data Centers envisions science-based, portfolio-wide operations powered by carbon-free energy at scale. Toward that end, we endeavor to be net-zero carbon across our Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 2029.
Scope 1 emissions include direct emissions from operations. Specifically, diesel emissions from backup generators and fugitive emissions from HVAC refrigerants.
Scope 2 emissions include indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Specifically, purchased electricity used to power data center infrastructure.
Scope 3 emissions include all other indirect emissions, including indirect emissions from tenant IT equipment and emissions from commuting.
We’re happy to share our 2023 Sustainability Report. This report tells the story of what Sabey is doing to cut our emissions and hit our 2029 net-zero carbon pledge.
We’ve worked tirelessly to become partners with some of the best and brightest organizations leading the charge on sustainability.
Better Buildings Challenge
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.
Better Climate Challenge
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.
ENERGY STAR
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.

Science Based Targets
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.
Green Lease Leaders
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.
The Climate Pledge
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.

Hydroelectricity
Sabey’s emphasis on hydroelectricity is motivated by two things: renewability and profitability. Hydropower is clean power that helps us meet our sustainability goals while also providing a lower total cost to our tenants.
