We voluntarily share our annual Sustainability Report – validated by independent third parties – to show our efforts and track our progress. Sustainability Reports →
We drive efficiency while working to reduce our environmental impact by investing in carbon-free, renewable energy.
We work to supply energy from carbon-free sources.
We focus not just on what we build, but how we do it, through best-in-class construction and environmental
health and safety practices.
We support local sustainability legislation and inspire our employees to be environmental leaders.
We reduce water usage and track Water Utilization Effectiveness (WUE) for ongoing improvement.
Our efforts extend the impact of our sustainability strategy into the communities where we operate.
We invest in research and multi-year commitments with environmental organizations that support local wildlife, ecosystems and biodiversity — reducing carbon emissions and restoring natural habitats.
We help support the natural ecosystems where we operate by funding, donating and planting tens of thousands of trees each year through our partnerships with organizations throughout the U.S. and abroad.
A tree planted every month for every 100 kW a customer signs with us — combating deforestation and promoting biodiversity through global planting and restoration.
Our partnership with World Vision provides clean water and water points to communities in the developing world. For every 100 kW that is contracted and for the life of each customer contract, QTS donates to World Vision to help support their mission.
We believe the true value of our work is in the communities we strengthen, the commitments we uphold and the people we empower.
The EPA recognizes QTS as a Top 50 user of green power.
