ESG and data center sustainability reporting requirements are changing.

Ekkosoft Critical is ESG reporting ready

Are you ready for the new CSRD and revised EED ESG reporting directives? Compliance with the EC Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) requires data centres operating in the EU to have been tracking their energy efficiency since May 2023. At the same time the data collection start point for the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is January 1st, 2024.

With many operations still relying on spreadsheets to track data center energy performance, reporting can be time-consuming and inaccurate. This presents a problem given that the new directives require fully auditable standards-based ESG reporting. Deviation from correct data collection and reporting methods is likely to be uncovered by an audit. Therefore a far greater degree of accuracy is now required.

This level of ESG reporting will take considerable operational support and time – imposing a significant resource burden. Many legacy DCIM and BMS tools don’t even offer suitable reporting. This becomes more complex depending on room and site numbers and it can be hard to access the level of evidence-based real-world ESG performance data needed for CSRD and the revised EED.

Without access to granular level sustainability reporting data, it’s going to be very difficult to answer questions about rack density, power usage, PUE measurements, and any inevitable data center changes.

EkkoSense has the answer. The good news is that Ekkosoft Critical delivers the real-time granular performance data you need, with the tool set for analysis and reporting built in.
