Yondr Group: Accelerating Toward Net Zero Data Centers

Net Zero by 2030 Commitment
Yondr has pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions for scope 1 and 2 by 2030, embedding carbon reduction into every stage of its data center lifecycle-from site acquisition to operations and legacy planning.

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Yondr’s sustainability strategy is driven by multidisciplinary collaboration and innovation. The company is integrating renewable energy, energy reduction, and energy recovery strategies tailored to each location and client need. Its Frankfurt data center, for example, is designed for LEED Gold certification, features rooftop solar PV installations, green walls, and will transition to 100% renewable energy by 2027 in compliance with German regulations.

In 2024, Yondr was awarded a Silver Medal by EcoVadis, placing it in the 89th percentile globally for corporate sustainability, with an ‘Advanced’ rating in carbon monitoring and performance.
Circular Economy and Community Initiatives
