ESG
Report
2023
Last year, I introduced our inaugural ESG Report with a 
sense of hope and excitement about the journey ahead 
for Digital Edge. Today, while there is still much more to 
do, I am pleased to share the meaningful steps we have 
taken on the journey so far, as we continue to realize our 
business goals and growth. Our ESG pillars – Respect 
for Resources, Respect for People & Communities, and 
Respect for Transparency – are not just the foundational 
strategy, they are living, breathing processes that hold 
us accountable to fulfill our mission responsibly and 
sustainably.
For Digital Edge, ESG has been engrained in our 
company’s values since day one. While our company may 
only be three years old, we are investing in world-class 
technology that will create the most efficient data centers 
in the world. Our commitment to energy efficiency, 
ethical treatment of our team members and partners, and 
transparency is in our company DNA. The investments we 
are making will ensure we can live our values – and meet 
our customers’ needs – for decades to come. 
This 2nd ESG report builds on the ambitions we set out 
last year and outlines the tangible steps we have taken 
or are taking to meet these. We also report for the first 
time on some key ESG metrics from across our business 
to ensure we can be held accountable for our efforts 
as we continue on this pathway. Below are some major 
milestones and key highlights from the past twelve 
months I would like to draw your attention to: 
•	 Our commitment to our people cannot be overstated. In 
2022, across our construction and operations, we reached 
more than 2.5 million work hours without lost time injury. 
We will continue to emphasize the principles of health 
and safety that ensure our people are protected and feel 
safe in our workplaces. 
•	 We recently opened the doors of our new data center 
in Manila, NARRA1, the largest carrier neutral data center 
in operation in the market. Through this facility Digital 
Edge has become the first colocation operator to deploy 
the patented StatePoint® Liquid Cooling technology in 
Asia, which has enabled us to achieve market leading 
PUE of 1.193 or better during the integrated systems 
testing phase. We hope this facility will set new standards 
for the region to aspire to when it comes to delivering 
sustainable data centers in hot and humid climates.
•	 In 2023, we have two facilities - NARRA1 in the 
Philippines and Edge2 — on track to achieve LEED Gold 
Certification. There is no clearer demonstration of our 
commitment to state-of-the-art environmental design 
and build processes than to be awarded this great 
honor. Going forward, all our new builds will meet, at a 
minimum, LEED Silver standards. 
•	 We are proud to share openly our Scope 1 and 2 
emissions footprint, beginning our process to manage 
and mitigate our footprint to be carbon neutral by 2030. 
As a growing company, we know this is an ambitious 
and difficult goal. Having baseline data in Scope 1 and 2 
emissions ensures we can consistently 
and accurately measure our progress 
going forward. 
•	 Digital Edge is dedicated to ensuring our facilities set 
the strongest possible standards for data security and 
privacy for our customers and their users. All Digital Edge 
facilities achieved ISO 27001 standards certification for 
information security management systems in April 2023.
This is merely a snapshot of the exciting work we are 
doing to further embed ESG in the Digital Edge way of life. 
We look forward to your feedback as you read this second 
report and my door is always open for suggestions and 
ideas on what more we can do in the year ahead. While 
we are still at the beginning of this journey, I am confident 
that, together, we can put responsibility and sustainability 
at the heart of everything we do and achieve our mission 
to bridge the digital divide. 
Sincerely,

As a growth-oriented company, we take seriously that with 
our growth comes responsibility. The infrastructure we are 
building will ensure the foundation of digital excellence is 
safe, reliable and makes the future possible – for us and 
for our customers. Our ESG-related initiatives at Digital 
Edge aren’t just a part of the future we are building, they 
are foundational concepts that outline our commitment 
to respect the resources we use, the communities and 
the people we serve, and to operate Digital Edge in a 
transparent and ethical manner. These environmental, 
social and governance (ESG) initiatives are tied inextricably 
to our core values and our business success. 
Last year, we shared with stakeholders our first ESG report, 
outlining the global standards and data-driven insights 
we will use to track our progress and remain accountable 
to our stakeholders. We share this journey with all our

Supporting the UN Sustainable 
Development Goals
ESG AT DIGITAL EDGE
Launched in 2015, the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals and their associated targets create 
a global agenda to address barriers to economic, social, 
and environmental progress. Every company globally has a 
responsibility to analyze their activities and understand how 
they align and support these important global goals. 
As we grow and add 
employees to the Digital 
Edge team, we prioritize 
their health, safety and well-
being and develop training 
and programs that align with 
these goals. We also ensure 
our construction processes 
consider the health and well-
being of those who live and 
work in the footprint of our 
facilities. 
Digital Edge’s growth includes 
brownfield and greenfield 
construction across the 
Asia Pacific region. In all 
construction projects, we 
work with local leaders to 
ensure our processes consider 
water scarcity and availability 
and take into consideration 
the way our facilities process 
and consume water in every 
local geography where we 
operate.
We are committed to setting 
aggressive goals related to 
procurement and use of 
renewable energy across our 
footprint. 
We are actively hiring across 
all levels of our organization 
in the Asia Pacific market, 
ensuring well-paying, 
technology-related jobs exist 
in the communities where we 
operate.
We help our customers 
achieve their business 
objectives in a dynamic 
and growth-oriented region 
through necessary technology 
infrastructure across the 
region. 
Nearly 2 billion people in the 
Asia Pacific region lack access 
to the internet. By providing 
important technology 
infrastructure across the 
region, we can meaningfully 
increase the access for 
individuals in cities and 
communities to technology 
and its benefits. 
As we build data centers 
across the Asia Pacific region, 
we employ a circular economy 
focused approach to ensure 
our build processes consider 
the life cycle of all materials 
and recycle and reuse 
materials wherever possible. 
We are committed to aligning 
our carbon emissions 
reduction process to Science 
Based Targets (SBTs) and 
setting a roadmap to achieve 
carbon neutrality in this 
decade.

It is our responsibility to aggressively work to mitigate that 
carbon footprint and do our part to ensure global infrastructure 
can grow and mature without contributing to the effects of 
climate change around the world.
Carbon Reduction Progress and Goals 
Digital Edge launched with a foundation goal to reduce our 
carbon footprint and drive toward carbon neutrality quickly 
across Asia Pacific. We are working to transition 50% of our 
electricity consumption to renewable or carbon-free by 2025 
and set an aggressive goal to operate 100% of our data centers 
on renewable or carbon-free energy sources by 2030. In 2022, 
we completed analysis of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions at  
Digital Edge. 
We focused specifically on Scope 1 and 2, but plan to expand 
to Scope 3 assessment in the future. To address Scope 3 
emissions, we have already begun to select suppliers based 
on shared values in GHG emissions goals. We are working to 
address our carbon footprint based on Digital Edge’s existing 
operations, those in progress, incorporating our plans for future 
growth and expansion. We consider the following five areas of 
focus integral to our carbon reduction process:
1. Renewable Energy Procurement
We are actively working with our grid-supplied electricity 
providers to purchase green power and capture credit for 
renewable electricity across our footprint. 
2. Building Green
Digital Edge’s Data Center Design Standards prioritize industry 
leading efficiency and environmental excellence including 
pursuing LEED Certification.

existing facilities and is further growing through mergers and 
acquisitions activities as well as greenfield and brownfield 
construction projects. As our newest data center builds become 
operational, we look forward to significant changes in our 
renewable and carbon-free energy mix in the coming years.
Power Utilization Efficiency Progress and Goals 
Our Basis of Design targets a peak PUE of 1.3 or less, with a 
target annualized PUE of 1.25 or better at 70% load. We aspire 
for our new build data centers to have the lowest PUE in our 
industry. Legacy Digital Edge sites are choosing important PUE-
related projects each year, with a goal of reducing PUE by 8% 
at those sites. For example, SEL1 in South Korea is investing 
in duct optimization, window sealing applications and motion 
sensors for lighting throughout the facility. At PUS1 in Busan, 
smart power distribution units (PDUs), LED lighting, and an 
evaporative humidifier are just a few upcoming projects to make 
the facility more energy efficient. 
Investing in Energy Efficiency Technology
Transitioning our legacy sites to renewable and carbon-free 
energy and building state-of-the-art data centers for the future 
will require investing in our industry’s newest technologies and 
pursuing partnerships with shared energy efficiency goals. For 
example, in South Korea, our joint venture with SK ecoplant 
to build a 100+ MW facility in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon includes 
plans to utilize Bloom Energy fuel cell technology to reduce 
carbon emissions and produce electricity with more predictable 
energy costs and enhanced reliability. This fuel cell is expected 
to generate 2,890,800 kWh per year, powering all of the general 
lighting and energy for our data center’s shell and core. This 
includes indoor and outdoor lighting, power sockets, parking 
lots, elevators, and more. Technologies like Bloom Energy 
fuel cells are just one of the many ways we are working to 
implement energy efficient practices in new and existing data 
centers at Digital Edge.

LEED Certification Continues at Digital Edge
Digital Edge’s Data Center Design Standards align with 
LEED Silver Certification, as determined by the U.S. 
Green Building Council. In many locations, we may 
pursue LEED Gold Certification. Our NARRA1 facility 
in the Philippines (opened Q1 2023) and our EDGE2 
facility in Indonesia (expected opening Q3 2023) are 
both on track to achieve LEED Gold Certification.

Digital Edge ESG Report 2023

Digital Edge is committed to building facilities 
with best-in-class Water Usage Efficiency (WUE), 
recognizing it is our responsibility to decrease our 
water use whenever possible and to ensure our 
wastewater is responsibly managed across the 
region. 
Water Usage Efficiency Progress and Goals 
In 2022, Digital Edge spearheaded a process to 
track our water withdrawal and consumption across 
our footprint, outlining key opportunities for water 
management processes and implementing water 
management technologies in key sites for the 
future. Two of our current geographic locations – 
Beijing and Seoul – are in high or extremely high 
baseline water-stressed regions, where it will be 
even more important to monitor and decrease our 
water usage. As we move forward, Digital Edge will 
implement data tracking processes to fully calculate 
our WUE. Our Basis of Design outlines a WUE of 1.4 
or less for all new data centers.

State-of-the-Art Cooling at NARRA1
Water source quality and usage is a key challenge in 
many data centers. At NARRA1, Digital Edge worked 
with Nalco Water and Nortek to implement customized 
water treatment programs that include advanced 
filtration and treatment technologies as well as real-
time monitoring and optimization of cooling systems to 
achieve a WUE of 1.355 for the facility.
EDGE2 Invests in Rainwater Collection
Opening in late 2023, EDGE2 will implement potable 
water from rainwater collection for landscape 
irrigation, WC flushing and AC flushing throughout the 
facility. This process will decrease the overall water 
withdrawal necessary for the facility.

As we build new facilities across Asia Pacific, our 
build processes must include the principles of a 
circular economy, emphasizing closed material 
loops and lifecycle analysis through every stage of 
development. For the first time in the history of 
technology infrastructure, we can invest in buildings 
that consider a facility’s long term lifespan.
Circular Economy Progress and Goals 
Across our building projects, we are tracing 
recycling, reuse, and other circular economy related 
projects and their impact. Our Basis of Design 
outlines areas where we can consider the lifecycle 
of a building in our processes, understanding 
that facilities can increase their capacity and 
significantly change their footprint over time, 
thereby ensuring longevity and sustainability.

Waste4Change Partnership Thrives in Indonesia
One important aspect of a circular economy at Digital 
Edge is considering the impact of our waste. In 2022, 
we launched a partnership with local organization 
Waste4Change to avoid bringing waste to landfills through 
Waste4Change’s Zero Waste services. Waste4Change 
collects facility trash monthly and manages waste by 
sorting and disposing it into key categories that can be 
reused or recycled locally. From August through December 
2022, total collection was 532 kilograms. Approximately 
27% of this waste was composted and 41% was recycled.

we do things without first thinking if it is sustainable, then whatever we do will 
be temporary and will ultimately fail. In the data center industry, we cannot

Supply Chain Partners Prioritize 
Circular Economy
CASE STUDY
Wherever possible, Digital Edge is working to 
choose major components and equipment in 
our data centers that brings to the table strong 
results in life cycle analysis (LCA) processes. 
LCA studies consider a product’s full cradle 
to grave lifecycle including the extraction and 
processing of raw materials, manufacturing 
processes, use cases and longevity, and 
emissions created throughout the process. 
Two examples of key partners prioritizing LCA 
studies and circular economy excellence are:
•	Trane Technologies’ Centrifugal Chillers have 
received a Certified Environmental Product 
Declaration from global leader, UL Solutions. 
In addition, their LCA process was certified in 
accordance with ISO 14044 standards. These 
environmentally friendly chillers will be used 
in multiple new data centers at Digital Edge 
and are already in use in our NARRA1 facility. 
These chillers directly affect our Scope 1 
emissions profile, specifically decreasing 
fugitive emissions in chiller systems. 
•	Georg Fischer (GF) supplies Digital Edge 
with industry-leading plastic pipes with a 
significantly lower carbon footprint and longer 
life-span than metal alternatives. Using GF 
pipes supports our goals to achieve LEED 
Gold certification and aligns with our focus on

ESG
Report
2023
The importance of business continuity in our work cannot be 
overstated. Digital Edge is committed to ensuring our data 
centers are protected from key business interruptions and risks 
including climate risks like weather, floods and fire. 
Business Continuity Progress and Goals 
In 2022, Digital Edge was proud to achieve 100% uptime in 
all of our data centers across the region. As we grow, we are 
committed to maintaining best-in-class business continuity 
and uptime performance which requires a forward-thinking 
investment in enterprise risk management (ERM) to safeguard 
against business interruption. 
Business 
Continuity
The digital infrastructure we 
provide to our customers 
requires uninterrupted 
operability and houses 
expensive, critical systems and 
electrical infrastructure.
Climate Risk and Resilience Analysis 
In 2022, we partnered with Jupiter 
Intelligence, the trusted leader in climate 
risk analytics, to conduct climate risk 
analysis of all Digital Edge data center 
sites. Jupiter’s ClimateScore™ Planning 
includes a comprehensive suite of asset-
level physical risk analysis applications — 
FloodScore, WindScore, HeatScore, and 
FireScore – that empowers our leaders 
to consider potential effects of weather 
events on our facilities.
We are future-proofing our data centers by building state-
of-the-art infrastructure our customers can trust. These 
considerations include weather, seismic activity, access to 
water, fire suppression systems, emergency management 
systems, and other integrations that protect our customers’ 
business continuity and our own. Digital Edge has adopted 
a Risk Management Policy that helps assess, monitor and 
mitigate risks across our business and supply chain. We will 
continue to evaluate enterprise risks as well as locally specific 
risks to our business as we grow.

Economic 
Performance
Digital Edge’s economic 
performance is important to 
meeting our goals in the Asia 
Pacific region, ensuring we can 
grow and expand in key markets 
and meet our ESG-related goals 
as well.
Economic Performance Progress and Goals 
Digital Edge continues to grow aggressively in the 
Asia Pacific region. In the last year we brought 
online our NARRA1, 10 MW data center in the 
Philippines. We also announced a new project in 
downtown Jakarta, as well as a 100+MW facility in 
Incheon in partnership with SK ecoplant, which is 
expected to be the largest commercial data center 
in the country. We announced our entry into India, 
partnering with National Investment and 
Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) and AGP Sustainable 
Real Assets to develop a pan-India portfolio of 
hyperscale data centers beginning with a 300 MW 
facility in Navi Mumbai. We also acquired our PEK1 
facility in China in partnership with Chuanjun 
Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 
Digital Edge is built on successful collaboration 
across the region. In 2022, we announced our 
partnership with Zenlayer to provide “one stop 
shop” solutions for cloud edge services in East and Southeast 
Asia. The partnership will ensure local cloud and service 
providers have a digital hub for multiple edge services, 
bringing to the market access to global interconnectivity 
options 
that reduce cost and improve application performance. We 
also launched a partnership with BBIX, Inc., one of Japan’s 
leading internet exchanges, which will be available at our 
OSA1 facility beginning in March 2023. Providing IX services 
will contribute to efficient internet connectivity and high-
quality communications, revitalizing internet traffic exchange 
across the Kansai region. 
We work diligently to share our expertise across our industry. 
In August 2022, we hosted our inaugural Edge Peering 
Interconnect Conference (EPIC) in Jakarta, Indonesia. This event 
connected international and local experts from the peering 
and interconnection communities across Asia Pacific. Over 
three days together, we discussed some of the region’s major 
deployment challenges through group discussion, learning 
sessions and inspiring speakers. 
We continue to see a clear path to more than 500 megawatts 
of power capacity in the next 5 years in the Asia Pacific 
regions. In that pursuit, we are focused on strong economic 
and operational performance for all our stakeholders.

Governance
A) Describe the board’s oversight of climate-related risks and 
opportunities.
Digital Edge’s Corporate Governance Framework Manual outlines the responsibilities of our Board of Managers in key areas of focus including strategy, 
structure and capital, financial reporting and controls, culture, corporate governance, and other areas. Matters of the Board of Managers include setting the 
group’s purpose, values, and standards and approval of the group’s long-term objectives and commercial strategy. The Board is also responsible for approval 
of group operating and capital expenditure budgets and any material changes to them as well as our 3-year strategic business plan. Each of these areas, and 
others, includes information regarding how our business may be adversely impact by climate-related risks. Our ESG Steering Committee, led by members 
of Digital Edge’s Group Management Committee, reports regularly to the Board of Managers on climate-related risks and opportunities and ensures these 
material topics are included in our regular strategic planning processes.
B) Describe the management’s role in assessing and management risks 
and opportunities.
Digital Edge’s Group Management Committee is ultimately responsible for the company’s ESG-related activities including the assessment and management of 
climate-related risks and opportunities. The ESG Steering Committee is an expressed Executive Committee, including CEO Samuel Lee and reporting regularly 
to the Board of Managers on the committee’s activities and findings. This committee is directly involved in the creation of Digital Edge’s annual ESG Report 
and shares that report with the Board of Managers for review and comment. 
Strategy
A) Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the 
organization has identified over the short, medium, and long term.
Digital Edge’s materiality assessment, compiled by the ESG Steering Committee with key external advisors in 2021, guides our work across ESG-related 
initiatives and specifically outlines the environmental topics most material to Digital Edge. This material study identified GHG emissions, energy management, 
water management, and our circular economy activities as most material for Digital Edge’s business across all time horizons for the company. 
In 2022, Digital Edge also partnered with climate resilience intelligence leader Jupiter Intelligence to outline key weather and climate-related risks on a site-
by-site basis across our data center footprint. This study highlighted key risks in our footprint, most importantly flood control, temperature management, and 
electricity grid risk. As we go forward, we will review these plans annually and incorporate these risks into our site-level planning as well as Enterprise Risk 
Management (ERM) processes.

Strategy
B) Describe the impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on 
the organization’s business, strategy, and financial planning.
1.0 Transition Risks
Transitioning to a lower-carbon economy may entail extensive policy, legal, technology, and market changes to address mitigation and adaptation 
requirements related to climate change. Depending on the nature, speed, and focus of these changes, transition risks may pose varying levels of financial and 
reputational risk to Digital Edge.
1.1 Policy and Legal: Climate change and energy policies, regulations, framework and guidance are rapidly evolving. For example, Singapore will be introducing 
incremental carbon tax over the next 5 years. In addition, there are several developments in Asia from official bodies, such as regulators, requiring climate-
related disclosures to be part of annual reporting of specific groups of listed companies, and be aligned with the TCFD framework. On top of that, abrupt and 
unexpected shifts in energy cost may occur, such as one in Korea where there was a 10% increase in Q1 2023. To mitigate this, Digital Edge will keep abreast 
of regulatory developments in markets we are in, and assess implications to our operations, goals and financial planning. 
1.2 Technology Risk: In recent years, several new technologies were introduced in the data center industry and suppliers would claim energy efficiency 
benefits, amongst others. Yet, the uncertain role of different solutions and technologies over time in complex data center settings, for different uses 
and different contexts made selection of technologies difficult. Additionally, financial impacts are capital invetsments in technology adoption. Following 
technology assessment and cost-benefit analysis, Digital Edge has made a strategic decision to strive to use StatePoint Liquid Cooling (SPLC) technology 
for our new developments. This will help us operate one of the most energy efficient data center globally. For example, in Manila, Power Usage Effectiveness 
(PUE) was tested to be at 1.193 or better using SPLC during Integrated Systems Testing (IST). 
1.3 Market Risk: In our pursuit of renewable energy across markets we are in, a few key issues were observed - inadequate supply of renewable energy, 
lack of infrastructure to support increased renewable energy demand, immature governance mechanisms on renewable energy certificates and steep 
renewable energy price, amongst others. Potential financial impacts are increased operational cost due to costs for renewable energy. To mitigate, Digital 
Edge only works with credible partners with track record of delivering renewable energy at fair market prices and with internationally recognised governance 
mechanisms in place.   
1.4 Reputation Risk: There is increased stakeholder scrutiny on range of sustainability issues including actionable commitments toward goals, governance 
and reporting. Potential risk could be customer loyalty and retention and employee satsfacton level. Digital Edge uses social media, customer feedback and 
organizes events to track customer sentiment and changing preferences while simultaneously perform annual employee engagement survey. 
2.0 Physical Risks
2.1 Acute Risk: Increased severity of extreme weather events such as drought, heat, cold, wildfire, flood and strong wind may potentially cause supply chain 
interruptions and employee ill health and absenteesims due to transportation difficulties, amongst others. Digital Edge partners with Jupiter Intelligence to 
perform scenario analysis and forecasts the impact of different climate change scenarios.
2.2 Chronic Risk: Rising mean temperatures and rising sea levels may potentially lead or increased insurance premiums in the long term. Digital Edge will look 
at opportunities on climate adaptation and insurance risk solutions in the foreseeable future.
