Data is the most critical asset of any organization and businesses are faced with the imminent challenges of managing and governing data while ensuring data compliance. Data management is critical for every company to improve business agility with up-to-date information available anywhere, anytime to the employees who need it most. There are entire ecosystems that grow perennially around Big Data and Data Analytics, which make enterprises aim for significantly critical tools to manage everyday data. With businesses realizing the dynamism of what can be done with their data, they are moving on from their existing resources to well-equipped Data Centers to aid better data management. Data Centers have become top priority for businesses across the globe to measure up their IT infrastructure requirements. With this shift in addressing information, Data Centers have moved beyond being just an additional storage facility. Infact, they have emerged as a key business parameter. Here is why Data Centers are necessary for enterprise businesses. AirTrunk data centre solutions are tailor-made to meet the needs of cloud and content providers as well as large enterprises. AirTrunk builds efficient, secure and flexible homes for your valuable data.

The team has reimagined the data centres of yesterday to meet the needs of today’s most transformational companies to enable a data-driven future. AirTrunk’s customers are changing the way that people interact, transact and learn. They’re shaping the way we live from the cloud. AirTrunk designs, builds, and operates the critical infrastructure that enables its customers to drive this transformational change. And with such change, comes great responsibility. The company is responsible for ensuring a sustainable future for its people, customers, communities and for generations to come. Aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement, AirTrunk’s sustainability strategy is long-term commitment to the planet, people, and progress.

The AirTrunk team are here for one reason. To support your growing hyperscale data centre requirements in the Asia-Pacific region. Bringing an experienced team together from leading data centre and technology companies is just the start.

A world of 0s and 1s, where data creates infinite possibilities. It’s a place where you can house the future. AirTrunk’s Sustainability Linked Loan (SLL) is the largest in data centre history and the only SLL with an ‘Operating PUE’ KPI globally. AirTrunk’s SLL has set new industry benchmarks in sustainable financing, being the largest by a data centre operator globally, the first by a data centre operator in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC), and the first to utilise ‘Operating Power Usage Effectiveness’ (PUE) as a Sustainability Key Performance Indicator (KPI).

First data centre sustainability linked loan

AirTrunk has experienced substantial growth since establishing its existing corporate debt facilities in April 2020. By converting its financing structure to a SLL, the existing loan as well as future increment loans and investment made by AirTrunk will be sustainability linked. This will ensure a long-lasting positive impact on the environment and community as the company embarks on further expansion of its hyperscale data centre platform in the region. A SLL links a company’s financing to Sustainability KPIs, driving borrowers to improve their sustainability commitments and performance. AirTrunk has established its loan KPIs across three key areas – diversity and inclusion, carbon neutrality, and energy efficiency. To enhance the company’s commitment to transparency and governance, these KPIs will be independently assured. In an industry-first for sustainability financing, AirTrunk has made the decision to measure its energy efficiency KPI through an ‘Operating PUE’, holding the company accountable to deliver towards its industry-low design PUE.

AirTrunk Founder and CEO, Robin Khuda said, “Sustainability has been at the core of AirTrunk’s business purpose from day one as we pioneered hyperscale data centres in the region with industry-leading scale and energy efficiency. By transitioning to this SLL with three ambitious KPIs including one for Operating PUE, we are holding ourselves to account to achieve our sustainability objectives.” AirTrunk has set bold and measurable commitments across three key sustainability pillars of Planet, People and Progress in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The company will soon be releasing its first Sustainability Report, along with a range of new sustainability initiatives. “We are focusing on delivering responsible digital growth in the region, an important priority not just for AirTrunk but also our key stakeholders including our customers, employees, investors, government, and the broader community,” Mr Khuda added. The joint Sustainability Structuring Advisors for AirTrunk’s ground-breaking SLL were Credit Agricole CIB and Deutsche Bank. Norton Rose Fulbright and Gilbert + Tobin acted as the borrower’s and lender’s legal counsel respectively.
