Bluebird Network, a colocation data center and communications infrastructure provider, announced its commitment to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. Earlier this year, Bluebird finalized its ESG roadmap developing a more structured and dynamic sustainability program, achieving its goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
To accomplish net-zero carbon emissions, Bluebird determined the greenhouse gas (GHG) generated by its facilities and will revamp its existing sustainability initiatives. The company plans to reduce its GHG emissions across all activities as much as possible.
An example is implementing sustainable purchasing alternatives and vendor relationships to reduce Bluebird’s total carbon footprint, up and down the supply chain.
Additional examples of sustainable solutions include:
- Created a used electronic purchasing program
- Created an electronic recycling, reuse, refurbish program
- Purchased dynamic fuel model vehicles to replace older models
- Established closed-loop water systems within data centers
- Adopted LED lighting technologies at data center facilities
- Created hot air return plenums at data center facilities to improve cooling efficiencies
Bluebird’s net-zero initiative sets the direction and serves to support its employees, customers, partners, and communities across the Midwest, in taking responsibility to reduce its carbon footprint. In addition to offering high-quality products and services, Bluebird assists customers and partners in achieving their own sustainability goals.
Bluebird believes it is important to go beyond the benefits of traditional environmental stewardship and commits to taking a more holistic approach embedding key social goals within the business. The company will continue its energy audits and commissioning on facilities to determine Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) and will support improvement in energy efficiency measures that reduce GHG emissions.
