Bridge Data Centres Unveils Inaugural ESG Report, Outlines Vision for a Sustainable Digital Future
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.
