Governance
Governance
We are committed to serving and protecting our business and our customers through robust governance processes. Compliance, security, and business continuity are core to LightEdge solutions, aspects that are inherently integral to ESG.
ESG governance at LightEdge is managed at the executive leadership level. Our Chief Operating Officer oversees our corporate ESG efforts, with various department leaders responsible for specific aspects.
Energy Efficiency
Our data centers achieve a weighted total of 1.54 PUE, which is consistently lower than the industry average of 1.6-1.75 PUE. Some of our data centers are seeing 1.3 PUE. We continuously monitor and improve our energy efficiency, with the aim to achieve a weighted total of 1.45 PUE by 2025.
To optimize cooling and energy efficiency, we employ sustainable solutions such as cold aisle containment, advanced cooling systems, building management systems, motion sensor lighting, and equipment upgrades. Our underground data centers in Kansas and Missouri use geothermal cooling, which reduces energy consumption by maintaining a naturally cooling temperature of 65°F.
