VIRTUS Data Centres's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, VIRTUS Data Centres reported total carbon emissions of approximately 800,000 kg CO2e in Great Britain. This figure includes emissions from various sources, with significant contributions from Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions. Specifically, their global Scope 1 emissions amounted to about 11,336,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions from business travel and employee commuting were approximately 443,000 kg CO2e combined. Despite the substantial emissions reported, VIRTUS Data Centres has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments or science-based targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the data centre industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, VIRTUS will likely need to establish clear goals to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
