CyrusOne Publishes 2023 Sustainability Report

Chronicling our hard work to meet far-reaching sustainability goals in addition to keeping pace with customer priorities, technological innovations, and government standards, CyrusOne is proud to publish our fourth sustainability report.

Transparency and resilience guide our sustainability practices. Although CyrusOne is no longer a publicly traded company and is thus not required to disclose our ESG work, we do it because we’re proud of our accomplishments. Our commitments to sustainability and transparency are evidenced by our sustainability report’s compatibility with four third-party standards, adhering to The Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidance, and demonstrating alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

This year’s 116-page report covers corporate governance, environmental impact, and social responsibility topics. You’ll find extensive reporting, charts, graphics, statistics, numbers, methodology, and highlight stories that confirm our successes and reveal areas where we plan to improve.

Key highlights:

• Climate: In 2022, CyrusOne accelerated its climate neutral by 2030 target and received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its near-term target.
• Water: CyrusOne achieved net positive water status for all data centers in regions with extremely high water stress. CyrusOne’s net positive water colocation services in Dallas were also recognized by the Business Intelligence Group as a “Sustainability Service of the Year.”
• Biodiversity: In 2022, CyrusOne’s data center in Allen, Texas received the company’s first National Wildlife Federation habitat certification.
• Circularity: Throughout the year, CyrusOne implemented on-site customer E-waste recycling services at all the U.S. facilities that they operate.
• Benefits of Sustainability: The report illustrates how ESG initiatives support CyrusOne’s business by improving resilience and increasing customer satisfaction.

Our success in everything, including our ESG program, is rooted in our people. Hard work, grounded by integrity and passion, fuels our efforts. We also recognize and appreciate our customers and partners who inspire, support and share in our success.

As always, we at CyrusOne remain focused on resilience that never wavers from a deep commitment to sustainability while ensuring our data centers keep the ever-evolving and ever-challenging world connected.
