TCO Development adds criteria for cloud infrastructure

July 14, 2023

TCO Development and the Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA) have joined forces to drive sustainability certification for cloud infrastructure.

TCO Development, the organisation behind the world’s leading sustainability certification for IT products, TCO Certified, has announced a partnership with the Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA), to further promote and support sustainability and transparency in cloud infrastructure.

The environmental impact of cloud services and data centres is growing, as more IT systems move from computer hardware to the cloud. With resource-intensive services such as AI on the rise, the demand for digital transformation, digital products and services, and sustainable solutions will continue to grow.

The collaboration between TCO Development and SDIA, which started a year ago, aims to drive progress toward more sustainable data centre solutions. In June, TCO Development announced the partnership with SDIA has progressed. The main objective is to develop new criteria for cloud infrastructure as part of TCO Certified, comprising data centre sustainability best practices, setting the standard for transparent and more sustainable digital resources.

“TCO Development has pushed the boundaries for more sustainable IT products for 30 years. By extending the certification scope to include services, we will be able to drive sustainability across a broader range of industries and influence the service providers to adopt more sustainable practices”, said Andreas Nobell, Development Manager at TCO Development.

“Reducing the environmental impact of IT is a strategic priority for organisations globally. As more organisations are moving away from generating their own digital resources, from on-premise IT infrastructure to procuring digital resources from external suppliers, ensuring environmental and social sustainability is critical”, said Max Schulze, CEO at SDIA.

TCO Development has certified data centre products since 2019. More information can be found here.
