We Can Take You Carbon Neutal

All our clients can legitimately claim that their UK Grid hosted IT platform is completely carbon neutral.

Many organisations struggle to meet aggressive carbon reduction targets that are either imposed on them or born out of their own CSR commitments. We understand that cutting these emissions is a hugely expensive, time consuming and resource sapping process. However, by outsourcing your data centre platform to a UK Grid colocation facility you can immediately neutralise its carbon footprint whilst still maintaining full control and ownerships of your equipment. Add to this our resilient technology, security and industry leading SLA’s and you have a business solution that really is fit for today’s business environment.

So how do we do it? 3 years ago, UK Grid planted 100 acres of forestry on its farm in Scotland in anticipation of its future power draw and resulting CO2 emissions. As the trees are now maturing the 100 acre plantation carbon neutralises all CO2 emitted from our data centres - including all emissions from all client equipment hosted within our three facilities.

In addition to maintaining our Carbon Neutral status, UK Grid facilities are designed with energy efficiency at the core, achieving a leading PUE (power usage efficiency) rating as low as 1.32 against an average of around 2.2. So, not only are we taking out the CO2 we put in, we’re also reducing the amount that gets put out there in the first place!
