Bridge Data Centres Unveils Inaugural ESG Report, Outlines Vision for a Sustainable Digital Future
Report details six environmental performance domains — water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon footprint reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance
SINGAPORE, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bridge Data Centres, a Bain Capital-backed hyperscale data centre platform, has unveiled its inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, detailing its blueprint for a sustainable data centre future.
The rapid growth of data centre development across the Asia-Pacific region has intensified demand for high-performance, secure, and globally accessible computing. As data volumes surge and complexity increases, expectations are rising — data centres must deliver greater efficiency and reliability while reducing their environmental impact.
Bridge Data Centres (BDC) is addressing these evolving demands through sustainability-led innovation. The ESG report details how the company is investing in energy-efficient systems, accelerating its transition to renewable energy, enhancing supply chain performance, and committing to emissions reductions.
Ahead of the report's release, BDC established a three-tier ESG governance framework comprising governance, management, and execution layers, with the Board of Directors providing top-level oversight.
Eric Fan, Chairman of Bridge Data Centres ESG Committee, commented, 'This inaugural ESG report is a testament to our commitment to building a future that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient. It reflects our core belief that the long-term success of our company is inseparable from the health of our planet, the well-being of our communities, and the trust we earn from our stakeholders.'
The report highlights several technological milestones across six environmental performance domains — water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon foot print reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance. Backed by 588 patents, BDC has made significant strides in water recycling and on-site treatment systems to improve Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). Breakthroughs in cooling technologies have lowered Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) in subtropical regions to below 1.2 — setting a new company milestone for energy efficiency. In Thailand, BDC's facility generated 511 MWh of renewable energy through rooftop solar panels. Additionally, innovations in construction technology have enabled a 30% reduction in construction cycles, accelerating customer deployment while reducing construction-related waste.
Bridge Data Centres is now a member of RE100 and has committed to achieving 100% renewable energy usage by 2040. BDC has also submitted goals to Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
The ESG report also details BDC's social impact. Over the past year, BDC has increased employment by over 24% year-on-year, with 85% of new hires hired in local markets, generating localized job opportunities and contributing to talent development for the data centre sector. Women represented 33.3% of the BDC executive management team – a notable figure in the data centre industry.
'As a digital infrastructure designer and builder, we have a unique responsibility — and powerful opportunity — to lead the way in sustainability. The choices we make today in design, construction, and operations will shape the future of our environment and society,' added Mr Fan.

Enhancing Capacity and Logistics Flow, Minister Al-Jasser Lays Foundation Stone for Logistics Corridor Linking Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumrah Logistics Park
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a strategic move to strengthen Saudi Arabia's logistics infrastructure, His Excellency Eng. Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistic Services and Chairman of the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), laid the foundation stone for a new logistics corridor connecting Jeddah Islamic Port to Al-Khumrah Logistics Park. The ceremony was attended by Mawani President Eng. Suliman Almazroua, alongside senior officials and leaders from across the transport and logistics ecosystem. Developed and implemented by Mawani, the corridor project is valued at over $183.7 million and spans 17 kilometerswith two lanes in each direction. It features 12 overpasses, emergency access points, maintenance facilities, and a comprehensive rainwater drainage system, providing uninterrupted truck movement between the port and the logistics park while bypassing Jeddah's urban road network. Minister Al-Jasser emphasized that the dedicated corridor will increase Jeddah Islamic Port's handling capacity by 10%, streamline truck flows, and enhance road safety by separating heavy truck traffic from general urban traffic. The project is also expected to reduce congestion, noise, and visual pollution, while contributing to lower carbon emissions and a better urban living environment. 'This initiative is a key milestone under the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, reinforcing the Kingdom's ambition to become a global logistics hub connecting three continents,' said Al-Jasser. The corridor strengthens multimodal integration and supply chain efficiency, while enhancing trade facilitation and the operational performance of Jeddah Islamic Port. It also unlocks new investment opportunities in the region and creates added value for transporters, importers, exporters, shipping lines, and logistics park users. Jeddah Islamic Port is a major gateway on the Red Sea coast, covering 12.5 square kilometers with 62 multi-purpose berths, state-of-the-art terminals, and specialized facilities that support regional and international trade. This project represents another significant step in advancing Saudi Arabia's logistics sector and achieving Vision 2030's economic diversification and connectivity goals. Photo – –
