Our position on sustainable digital infrastructure

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.

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.
