Advancing Data Centre Sustainability and Diversity: Leading the Path to a Bright Future
“Data Centre practices don’t have to be at a detriment to the environment,” says Maya Derrick , Editor of Data Centre Magazine, in its latest August edition.
The data centre industry is making significant strides towards sustainability, with various initiatives showcasing commendable examples.
“With companies like VIRTUS Data Centres using 100% renewable electricity and committing to being net-zero by 2030, and atNorth having stringent sustainability policies, data centre practices don’t have to be at a detriment to the environment. And when it comes to the workforce, the attitude remains the same when it comes to efforts to diversity personnel."?
By leveraging technological advancements, visionary team leaders, and opting for sustainable locations like the Nordics , the future of data centres looks promising.
In our quest to understand the current landscape better, we have engaged with some of the world's most prominent sustainability leaders and companies.
This month's magazine delves deep into several key aspects that contribute to data centre sustainability. From deploying edge computing to reduce latency, constructing data centres in harmony with natural environments, and optimising operations with hybrid cloud solutions , to harnessing the power of AI for sustainable practices , we provide a comprehensive insight into the future of data centres. Our magazine also features valuable executive advice from industry experts.
Inside, you'll find exclusive features on leading companies such as DataBank , NTT , Equinix , BDx Data Centers , atNorth , Oracle Cloud , and more. These organisations have proven their dedication to environmental responsibility and are spearheading efforts to create greener data centres.

Inspirational Female Leaders Shaping the Future of Data Centres
In 2021 more than three-quarters of data centre operators surveyed by the Uptime Institute said less than 10% of their staff members were women - and plenty are working for that to change.
In fact, creating a diverse and inclusive workforce is now just as critical as achieving sustainability goals.
In the ever-evolving landscape of data centres, there are remarkable women driving innovation, sustainability, and progress. Among the trailblazing companies is Iceotope Technologies Limited - a pioneer in sustainable data centre cooling solutions.
Iceotope's commitment to diversity is evident in the employment of notable female leaders, who have made significant contributions in recent years. Leading the charge is Kelley Mullick, PhD , the VP of Technology Advancement and Alliances.
Kelley's team of liquid cooling geniuses comprises exceptional individuals who are making their mark in the field of technology. Nkemjika A. stands as the Senior Thermofluid Engineer, bringing unparalleled expertise and experience to the table. Project Manager Jill Theaker showcases exceptional project leadership, and Mechanical Engineer Sarah-Jane T - also a passionate STEM ambassador - is inspiring the next generation of female engineers.
Kelley's primary focuses lies in product sustainability, environmental engineering and supporting #womeninSTEM , creating a more inclusive and diverse future for the industry.
To learn more about Kelley's journey and insights, you can find her exclusive interview with Data Centre magazine here.

Of course, Iceotope is not alone in championing remarkable female leaders; the data centre industry is fortunate to have many inspiring women making a significant impact.
In fact, Marientina Laina from NTT Global Data Centers and Sophia Flucker from MiCiM sheds light on the work being carried our by data centre companies to address DE&I shortcomings here .
"We're still trying to improve our inclusivity so we can really benefit from having a much more rounded team,"
says Sophia when speaking for MiCiM.
More notable leaders include:
These inspiring female leaders exemplify the transformation happening in the data centre industry and serve as role models for aspiring professionals.
And, of course, diversity is so much more than just gender. This is a conversation that Sophia Flucker is opening up.
All in all...
The pursuit of both sustainability and diversity reinforces our collective vision for a stronger, more innovative, and inclusive data centre ecosystem. Together, we can shape a future where talent thrives, and diversity is celebrated, making our industry even more vibrant and resilient.
