Bridge Data Centres Unveils Inaugural ESG Report, Outlines Vision for a Sustainable Digital Future
Significant advances in innovative cooling technologies in past year lowered power usage effectiveness (PUE) in subtropical regions to below 1.2 Report details six environmental performance domains — water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon footprint reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance SINGAPORE, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bridge Data Centres, a Bain Capital-backed hyperscale data centre platform, has unveiled its inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, detailing its blueprint for a sustainable data centre future. The rapid growth of data centre development across the Asia-Pacific region has intensified demand for high-performance, secure, and globally accessible computing. As data volumes surge and complexity increases, expectations are rising — data centres must deliver greater efficiency and reliability while reducing their environmental impact. Bridge Data Centres (BDC) is addressing these evolving demands through sustainability-led innovation. The ESG report details how the company is investing in energy-efficient systems, accelerating its transition to renewable energy, enhancing supply chain performance, and committing to emissions reductions. Ahead of the report's release, BDC established a three-tier ESG governance framework comprising governance, management, and execution layers, with the Board of Directors providing top-level oversight. Eric Fan, Chairman of Bridge Data Centres ESG Committee, commented, 'This inaugural ESG report is a testament to our commitment to building a future that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient. It reflects our core belief that the long-term success of our company is inseparable from the health of our planet, the well-being of our communities, and the trust we earn from our stakeholders.' The report highlights several technological milestones across six environmental performance domains — water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon foot print reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance. Backed by 588 patents, BDC has made significant strides in water recycling and on-site treatment systems to improve Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). Breakthroughs in cooling technologies have lowered Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) in subtropical regions to below 1.2 — setting a new company milestone for energy efficiency. In Thailand, BDC's facility generated 511 MWh of renewable energy through rooftop solar panels. Additionally, innovations in construction technology have enabled a 30% reduction in construction cycles, accelerating customer deployment while reducing construction-related waste. Bridge Data Centres is now a member of RE100 and has committed to achieving 100% renewable energy usage by 2040. BDC has also submitted goals to Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The ESG report also details BDC's social impact. Over the past year, BDC has increased employment by over 24% year-on-year, with 85% of new hires hired in local markets, generating localized job opportunities and contributing to talent development for the data centre sector. Women represented 33.3% of the BDC executive management team – a notable figure in the data centre industry. 'As a digital infrastructure designer and builder, we have a unique responsibility — and powerful opportunity — to lead the way in sustainability. The choices we make today in design, construction, and operations will shape the future of our environment and society,' added Mr Fan.

Tech, Petronas counters push Bursa to close at intraday high
KUALA LUMPUR : Persistent buying momentum, mostly seen in selected technology and Petronas-linked counters, pushed the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) to record another intraday high at the close today, extending its rally to five consecutive trading sessions, an analyst said. Malaysian Pacific Industries and Petronas Dagangan were among the top two gainers, rising RM1 and 44 sen to RM22.40 and RM21.70 respectively. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said key regional indices closed mixed as investors weighed recent remarks by US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, who noted that rate cuts would likely have occurred if not for President Donald Trump's tariff policies. 'In addition, there is growing investor speculation about a possible US-Japan agreement, even as Trump repeated his threat of 30%-35% tariffs on Japanese products,' he told Bernama. On the domestic front, he said the benchmark index continues to show strength, supported by steady net foreign inflows and sustained interest in heavyweight counters. 'With a solid technical foundation above the 1,530 level, we raise our weekly target to 1,530-1,560, anticipating that the index will remain firm within this range barring any unforeseen circumstances,' he said. At 5pm, the FBM KLCI rose 8.68 points, or 0.56%, to 1,550.21 from yesterday's close of 1,541.53. The benchmark index opened 1.8 points lower at 1,539.73 and subsequently hit its lowest level of 1,539.18 in early trade. The broader market was broadly positive with 531 gainers outpacing 442 decliners, while 498 counters were unchanged, 920 untraded and 14 suspended. Turnover rose to 3.11 billion units worth RM2.38 billion against 2.05 billion units worth RM2.15 billion yesterday. Among heavyweights, Maybank added four sen to RM9.76, Public Bank went up six sen to RM4.32, CIMB and IHH Healthcare increased three sen each to RM6.78 and RM6.83 respectively, while Tenaga Nasional declined 30 sen to RM14.60. As for the most active stocks, ASM Automation eased 0.5 sen to 16.5 sen, Tanco and Compugates were flat at 89 sen and 1.5 sen respectively, while YTL Corp gained eight sen to RM2.45. On the index board, the FBM Emas Index increased 57.5 points to 11,582.09, the FBMT 100 Index garnered 56.95 points to 11,360.77, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index climbed 38.42 points to 11,599.83. The FBM 70 Index improved 53.87 points to 16,611.24 while the FBM ACE Index trimmed 12.92 points to 4,479.09. By sector, the financial services index jumped 104.12 points to 17,708.76, while the industrial products and services index edged up 0.17 of-a-point to 154.47, the plantation index slipped 6.2 points to 7,395.96, and the energy index gained 5.63 points to 747.17. The Main Market volume slipped to 1.27 billion units worth RM2.09 billion against 1.4 billion units valued at RM2.02 billion yesterday. Warrants turnover surged to 1.55 billion units valued at RM198.51 million from 426 million units worth RM45.13 million previously. The ACE Market volume advanced to 283.75 million units valued at RM87.58 million versus 224.45 million units valued at RM83.02 million yesterday. Consumer products and services counters accounted for 208.81 million shares traded on the Main Market, industrial products and services (206.02 million), construction (101.61 million), technology (140.18 million), SPAC (nil), financial services (71.67 million), property (245.04 million), plantation (16.31 million), REITs (16.29 million), closed end fund (4,000), energy (69.77 million), healthcare (56.63 million), telecommunications and media (45.36 million), transportation and logistics (24.23 million), utilities (68.02 million), and business trusts (18,000).
