Iceland based data center services provider atNorth has become a signatory of the United Nations’ Global Compact as part of its ongoing commitment to business sustainability.
The UN Global Compact is a voluntary initiative that enables members to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
Corporate responsibility is a core part of atNorth’s business ethos and the company has evidenced this through its strategic Nordic locations, proprietary data center design, heat reuse programs and adherence to ISO14001 and ISO 45001 guidelines.
By joining the UN Global Compact atNorth will continue to share insight into its sustainability journey as a whole and inspire the data center industry to not only mitigate its ecological risk but to strive towards positive and restorative environmental and community impact.
“As awareness of the environmental and social impact of digital infrastructure continues to grow, we are committed to raising the bar and leading by example as a responsible business within the data center industry”, says Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson, CEO, atNorth. “By actively aligning with the globally recognized UN Global Compact we will provide a transparent account of our progress across the board”.
atNorth recently appointed Cora Olsen, Director of Sustainability, to lead the continuous development and implementation of the business’s sustainability strategy which includes coordinating its alignment and reporting to the UN Global Compact’s principles.
