Our Core Beliefs
Our position on sustainable digital infrastructure
The SDIA has assessed digital infrastructure in Europe and derived a number of fundamental positions, beliefs, and principles. In our view, these are our foundations of a sustainable digital infrastructure. It is our goal to ensure the development of a vibrant European digital economy that is inclusive, fair, and has a positive impact on the environment. Our definition of digital infrastructure consists of the entire value chain, from energy, to buildings & fiber networks to data centers, server equipment and software applications.

Reaching the Goals
The Roadmap to Sustainable Digital Infrastructure by 2030
To reach our sustainability goals by 2030 we need to systematically embed sustainability across the sector. This Roadmap enables every industrial actor to connect, benchmark, and deliver sustainability within their segment of the digital infrastructure value chain. Through the universal reporting regimen, and the industry led action plan, the Roadmap is simultaneously the reporting vehicle, and the collaboration vehicle that will ensure we hit sustainable digital infrastructure by 2030.
Goals for a sustainable digital economy by 2030.
