The QTS Difference
Supporting community prosperity
Our role goes far beyond building and operating the world’s most advanced data centers. It means staying true to our core values and uplifting the communities in which we live, work and operate.
We work hard to listen to the unique needs of each community to determine the best way in which we can contribute. We are committed to providing job opportunities, fostering economic growth, working with local suppliers and operating as trusted neighbors and responsible stewards of the environment and community resources.
Through our diverse giving programs – including individual employee volunteerism and matched donations, corporate-sponsored events, grants to charitable organizations and success-based giving – QTS enriches our communities and helps improve lives.
We share our growth through programs that add to our communities and make a real impact. These initiatives exemplify our commitment to enhancing the future and prosperity to society and the environment.
