In this keynote, Peter Pohlschröder broadens our view beyond the current challenges of the industry’s climate goals by exploring social responsibility and governance principles in the data center industry.

He believes our industry must act outside of its business-as-usual zone. He suggests not only taking into account the minimum requirement, but to partner with public stakeholders, to overcome today’s local challenges.

The keynote will delve into ESG, with a focus on the "S" and "G" components and will share insights on what municipalities demand of our industry. The keynote will also highlight recent laws and regulations, and the importance of collaboration, transparency, and trust in and within the industry.
