Green bonds
Funding projects that benefit the environment
In 2015, we became the first data center REIT to issue a green bond, a standard bond that supports projects that positively impact the environment. We continue to use green bonds today to ensure sustainability remains integral to our growth.
Our efforts have not gone unrecognized. We are ranked 8th on the EPA's Top 30 Tech & Telecom List and 21st on the National Top 100 List.
Since 2015, we have issued over $6 billion in green bonds and are the leading issuer of green bonds in our industry.
Our Green Bond Framework is aligned with the following:
