Last year, JSA brought together 24 sustainability trailblazers from the digital infrastructure industry – from all corners of the world – to write chapters for “Greener Data: Actionable Insights from Industry Leaders”.
Launched Earth Day 2022, the book quickly became an Amazon Best-Seller and evolved into the Greener Data movement, with a directory of sustainability partners, a series of in-depth virtual roundtables, featured Q&A’s with sustainability trailblazers, live broadcast chats with thought leaders at the top global network infrastructure conferences and much more.
