Water At Digital Edge, we are dedicated to constructing facilities that excel in Water Usage E昀케ciency Management (WUE) and ensuring responsible management of wastewater across our regions. ® INTRODUCTION We have committed to minimize water consumption wherever The deployment of Nortek’s Statepoint Liquid cooling feasible and target a WUE range of between 1.00 to 1.50 for technology in key facilities provides water savings of 20% Water Use at Digital Edge* RESPECT FOR new data centers in our Basis of Design. for data centers in hot and humid climates and almost 90% RESOURCES in cooler climates compared with previous indirect cooling Metric Unit 2021 2022 2023 Water Usage E昀케ciency Progress and Goals systems. Water withdrawn Cubic 10,886** 106,826** 118,053 RESPECT FOR In 2023, we continued our e昀昀orts in tracking water withdrawal and consumption across our footprint with the implementation We have also taken considerable measures to implement meters PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES of data tracking processes that enabled us to fully calculate our water treatment programs and real-time monitoring and Water Cubic 10,886** 106,826** 118,053 WUE, outline key opportunities for water management optimization methods to decrease overall water withdrawal consumed meters RESPECT FOR processes and implement water management technologies from our facilities. In our SEL2 campus in Korea, we use Percentage of Percentage 26 11 1 TRANSPARENCY in key sites. We use technical guidance and tools from World water-e昀케cient 昀椀xtures, landscape features that require little water withdrawn Resources Institute Aqueduct 4.0 to assess water stress. irrigation and have installed submeters to track usage over in regions with Two of our current geographic locations – Beijing and Jakarta time. In our EDGE2 facility in Jakarta, we use potable water APPENDIX high or extremely – are in high or extremely high baseline water-stressed regions, from rainwater collection for landscape irrigation and WC high baseline where it will be even more important to select appropriate 昀氀ushing as well as AC 昀氀ushing throughout the facility. water stress cooling technology that supports reducing our water usage. These actions have shown positive results. * Includes only fully operational sites **Data includes updates from previous year’s report © 2024 Digital Edge ESG Report 17
