The race towards sustainability is gaining momentum, and data centers are at the forefront. As U.S. data centers prepare to meet growing data demands, they’re also preparing for stricter environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations.
To help data center operators navigate this complex landscape, industry leaders are gathering for a virtual roundtable titled “2025 Planning for U.S. Data Centers: The ESG Regulation Edition.” The event will bring together top experts in the data center and sustainability sectors who specialize in ESG regulatory compliance and sustainability strategies for data centers.
Solutions for U.S. Data Centers
The growing pressure to adopt ESG initiatives, coupled with fast-evolving legislation, is creating an urgent need for data centers to focus on compliance. U.S. operators are already facing major ESG challenges, and this panel will address the specific hurdles of meeting new requirements like California’s Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act as well as emerging regulations across the U.S.
The roundtable will also cover how U.S.-based data center operators with European operations can comply with additional directives, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), both of which add significant reporting obligations. Panelists will discuss how U.S. data centers can manage their ESG compliance challenges.
