We believe how we deliver our data centers is just as important as what we deliver. Our data centers are backed by bold, measurable sustainability goals that are designed to reduce our carbon footprint, promote clean energy and protect the natural environment.
We believe how we deliver our data centers is just as important as what we deliver. Our data centers are backed by bold, measurable sustainability goals that are designed to reduce our carbon footprint, promote clean energy and protect the natural environment.
Our data centers are built with a water-free cooling system that does not consume water for cooling, once operational. Our innovative cooling technology uses a closed-loop system that saves millions of gallons of water,* improving water conservation in our communities.
Saved nearly 1.5 billion gallons of water across our portfolio as a result of our water-free cooling system
Delivered water usage effectiveness (WUE) of 0.82 for our owned, operational portfolio representing a year-over-year reduction of 27%
Implemented additional water-saving and reuse practices including rainwater collection, reclaimed water programs and usage of well water
*annually per critical megawatt
We aspire to source the maximum amount of carbon-free energy and work closely with utility companies to identify innovative and sustainable ways to best serve our customers, communities and the environment.
QTS connects the world for good, not just through our innovative data centers, but through our community programs. We believe we have a responsibility to serve each other and the communities in which we work and live. As caring citizens, we contribute time, talent and resources to local programs and agencies to enrich our communities and help improve lives.

“For me, it’s always been about helping people and being a guardian of our mission, vision and purpose. Our Community Impact Program offers day-to-day opportunities to build relationships and give back to our people and our communities. Everybody is shouldering some kind of challenge. Giving people an opportunity to be present for one another can be powerful for all involved.”
