In an era where sustainability is no longer just a buzzword but a business imperative, the data center industry is under increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable environmental progress. Datalec Precision Installations (DPI), a provider of world-class global data center design, supply, build, and installation services, has taken a significant step in this direction. The company announced this week that it has been recognized for its transparency on environmental issues with a ‘B’ score from CDP Worldwide, the global non-profit that runs the world’s leading environmental disclosure system.
A Benchmark for Transparency
DPI’s ‘B’ rating in the climate change category places it among a select group of organizations demonstrating “Management” level stewardship. This score indicates that Datalec is not just aware of its environmental impact but is taking coordinated action on climate issues.
The achievement is notable given the rigour of the CDP process. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were scored, with CDP’s methodology widely considered the gold standard for corporate environmental reporting. By aligning with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, CDP scores are a critical metric for the 640 institutional investors – representing over $127 trillion in assets – who use this data to inform their investment and procurement decisions.
Driving an Earth-Positive Economy
For the data center sector, where Scope 3 emissions and supply chain transparency are critical challenges, DPI’s disclosure represents a commitment to the future.
“We are proud to receive a B score from CDP, which is a meaningful recognition of the tireless and consistent work of our entire team towards achieving our ESG goals,” said Tim Hickinbottom, DPI ESG Group Lead. “Transparency and accountability are at the heart of our sustainability strategy, and this result reflects our commitment to driving positive environmental impact. While we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on continuous improvement and advancing sustainable practices.”
The Importance of Disclosure
Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP, emphasized that these scores are about more than just accolades. They are about future-proofing operations. “A CDP score is a sign of commitment to high-quality data that enables companies to take earth-positive economic decisions,” Madera noted. “Tackling environmental risks head-on will create a more resilient economy and increase companies’ ability to innovate and invest.”
