CyrusOne’s vice‑president of environmental, health, safety and sustainability, Kyle Myers, says the company treats sustainability as a profit centre rather than a cost centre. By centralising ESG functions into a cross‑functional working group, CyrusOne has integrated green‑building standards across its expanding portfolio, growing from 30 to 55 data centres in eight years. The firm secured $14 bn of debt financing, $11 bn of which is sustainability‑linked, and reported a 29% drop in carbon emissions in 2024 despite a 70% revenue increase. CyrusOne aims for climate neutrality by 2030, leveraging renewable electricity and innovative backup‑power solutions.
