Tony Kang, Business VP for Secure Power at Schneider Electric Philippines, commented that more and more data center operators are expected to achieve more than the minimum when it comes to sustainability compliance. He outlined: “For example, while a goal of carbon neutrality was once a differentiator, Schneider Electric now recognizes the potential to have even greater impact with carbon negative operations.”

Commenting on how the data center industry can set the bar for sustainability and how Schneider Electric can help, Kang said: “Data center operators should welcome the government’s push for cleaner and greener operations. Schneider Electric can help leverage this into an opportunity to embrace a greener future and push the boundaries of their sustainability commitments.”
