Data Centers and ESG: Managing Climate, Water, and Community Impacts
May 28, 2026 | 10:00 AM PT
As digital infrastructure expands rapidly to support cloud computing and artificial intelligence, attention is increasingly turning to the environmental and social footprint of data centers themselves. Beyond electricity consumption, developers and operators must navigate a wide range of sustainability considerations—from water usage and cooling technologies to land use, community impact, and evolving regulatory expectations. This panel will explore the key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that arise throughout the lifecycle of data center development and operation.
