Active Contribution to Sustainable IT as a Member of The Green Grid
At Datacenter United, we are a proud member of The Green Grid, a global non profit organisation dedicated to energy efficiency and sustainability in datacenters. This membership underlines our commitment to continuously invest in technologies and methods that reduce the ecological footprint of digital infrastructure. For clients, it means working with a data centre that actively contributes to making the sector more sustainable.
What is The Green Grid?
The Green Grid is an international consortium of datacenters, technology companies and research institutions that collaborate on best practices in energy consumption, water management, cooling and sustainability. The organisation develops, among other things, standards such as PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), which are used worldwide as a benchmark for energy efficiency.
By being a member of The Green Grid, Datacenter United gains access to the latest insights and tools in sustainable datacenter management – knowledge that we apply directly in our Belgian facilities.
Application in our datacenters
Our membership of The Green Grid translates into concrete initiatives within our operations. We implement energy efficient solutions and aim for the lowest possible PUE score. We continue to invest in optimising power consumption, cooling and airflow.
- Use of free cooling and heat recovery
- N+1 redundancies without oversizing
- Monitoring of PUE and power consumption per rack
- Sustainable design of new datacenter locations

By choosing a datacenter that is an active member of The Green Grid, you automatically choose a partner that is forward thinking in terms of sustainability. Your digital infrastructure is hosted in an environment that meets the strictest energy criteria – and this also benefits your own organisation.

Sustainability as a shared responsibility
At Datacenter United, we believe that sustainability is not an individual achievement, but a collective responsibility.

This ensures that our knowledge, technology and processes continue to evolve, and that our clients benefit directly from these advancements.
