“ Not only is this a great product ,” says DeRuyck , “ but it has also allowed for faster installation , and delivered 80 % fewer greenhouse gas emissions during the construction phase compared to traditional construction .”
Orbia is also conscious of its carbon footprint in IT , harnessing sustainability metrics to assess not only its fleet of assets but also its data centre energy consumption .
DeRuyck says : “ We have projects underway to reduce both our technology debt and our carbon footprint .” Orbia is doing this through :
• Data-centre consolidation
• Hyper-converged infrastructure
• Recycling programmes for its assets when they ' re at the end of their life
• Ensuring vendors and partners are committed to sustainable products and services .
“ Our mix of partners complete our ecosystem whenever and however they are needed ”
