Data centers are in demand due to growing needs for data and AI technology. The SMART Data Centers Program measures and reports on the environmental performance of data centers by measuring and verifying performance indicators such as power generation and usage emissions, water usage, and material usage. By analyzing information from the lifecycle of data center operations, the program delivers clear, actionable insights that operators can use to improve their environmental footprint.
Oil and gas companies are facing regulatory and social pressures from local governments and international trade to reduce their methane emissions. The SMART Methane Program enables the tracking and monitoring of methane emissions in oil and gas companies’ value chains, which can be used to report to regulators and measure against emission reduction targets. Banks can use this verified data to invest in emissions-cutting projects undertaken by oil and gas companies through sustainable finance instruments.
