These efforts could help manage energy cost risk, appeal to sustainability-focused customers and support access to green finance.
The company is additionally progressing a Paris heat recovery project that will connect its campus to the district heating network of Levallois-Perret from 2027.

In talent strategy, Global Switch launched a “Sector Switchers” series showcasing hires from adjacent industries, such as mission-critical energy, to strengthen operational discipline in its data centers. Overall, the week’s developments point to a company deepening its ESG commitments, digital capabilities and human capital to sustain competitiveness in high-specification colocation markets.
