Digitalization and sustainability should advance hand in hand, and data centers have a critical role to play in supporting a green circular economy, powered by knowledge and innovation that offers access and opportunity for everyone. Our aim is to build a sustainable business that contributes not only to the local and global economy, but that also takes care of our communities and environment.
We strive to help today’s leading organizations reduce the IT carbon footprint.
Using energy from only renewable sources in all our operations is a key step to maintain low GHG emission and reduce overall carbon footprint.
Minimizing all waste is a critical initiative for atNorth as well as continuing to drive innovation and deploy circular economy principles.
atNorth’s mission is to build a sustainable business that contributes to the surrounding community.
Sustainability and innovation are our guiding principles. We will continue to innovate, develop and create a future proof de-carbonizing platform.
“To have more compute for a better world, we must take better care of our environment, employees and customers. Our sustainability strategy, along with our goals and actions, will have the sole purpose of creating a positive impact on the world.”
atNorth’s ICE02 site in Iceland is strategically located within the HS ORKA Resource Park, a leading cluster for sustainable businesses to promote the responsible use of geothermal energy and minimal waste production. The ICE02 data center draws on the clean energy supply, leveraging more than 80MW of power directly from sustainable geothermal and hydro energy sources.
In partnership with Sweden’s energy provider, Stockholm Exergi, the atNorth SWE01 campus captures the heat outputs generated by the site’s data halls, recycling all residual heat through the district heating plant to provide heat and hot water for local residents. The initiative has helped:
boost the data center efficiency
reduce our carbon footprint and overall impact on the climate
give back and support the local community.

Contributing to the local community has always been fundamental to our underlying values. atNorth supports relevant sustainability initiatives that matter most to our business and align with our sustainability policy. Emphasis is placed on selecting projects that focus on innovation in the energy and technology sector, prevention activities, supporting marginal groups and the protection of the environment.
As part of our Sustainability Policy and in line with our company values, atNorth have outlined a set of goals and objectives to guide the company’s sustainability agenda for the next five years.
We will continually report against these targets and seek to align our measures with global standards including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
To be the partner of choice, developing and delivering a high-performance, de-carbonizing platform, for organizations wishing to lower their carbon footprint, we developed a Sustainability Policy in line with our business. Our Sustainability Policy outlines our responsibility to the environment, society and the economy:-
atNorth has joined the iMasons Climate Accord (ICA), a historic cooperative of companies committed to reducing carbon in digital infrastructure materials, products, and power.
atNorth has also partnered with the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact committing to the European Green Deal, to achieve the ambitious greenhouse gas reductions of the climate law, and leverage technology and digitalization to achieve the goal of making Europe climate neutral by 2050.
“Sustainability is a core pillar across all of our operations, and our partnership with atNorth has helped us work towards our goals to minimize our carbon footprint and commit to a circular economy wherever possible.”
“With atNorth, we have already seen our CO2 emissions decrease by 85% and energy usage halved, which is paving a clear path to radically changing the digital footprint of our entire IT infrastructure.”
