DENVER, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cologix, a leading network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company in North America, today released its fifth annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, demonstrating continued momentum toward sustainable operations, inclusive growth and transparent governance.

The report outlines key performance metrics and milestones achieved in FY2024 as Cologix expanded its platform and customer ecosystem while maintaining focus on long-term ESG goals.

“Last year was a landmark year for our team and our business. As our footprint grew significantly, we remained grounded in our values as well as committed to reducing our environmental impact, investing in our people and maintaining the trust of our partners and communities,” said Laura Ortman, CEO of Cologix. “Our 2024 ESG Report reinforces how we are scaling responsibly, anchoring our growth in sustainability, transparency and the power of connection.”

Key highlights from the Cologix 2024 ESG Report include:

• Continuing Investment in Carbon-Free Energy and Environmental Stewardship: Cologix maintained 65% carbon-free energy use across its growing data center footprint and held emissions intensity flat year-over-year, despite a 40%+ increase in square footage. The company’s facilities achieved an average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.486, outperforming the global industry average and reflecting its commitment to energy-efficient operations. In 2024, the company invested $17 million in ESG-related capital projects, bringing its total to more than $48 million in ESG-related CapEx since 2016. Cologix also launched the ISO 14001 certification process for all facilities and expanded ENERGY STAR certification in the U.S. In addition, the report highlights the company’s AI-powered cooling projects, including a 67-unit sensor-based optimization deployment at SV1 in California.
