Understanding the core
As human beings, we are curious by nature. If you reflect on your choices, profession, passion, you will realize that you resonate with the idea at its very core. It is observed that we are able to respond and perform better when we connect with the thought, concept of what we are doing. When an organization formulates its business strategy, it is always aligned with the vision of the organization. Similarly, it is important that ESG and sustainability are factored in the vision of the organization. It is only when ESG and sustainability as a concept resonate with the organization’s values and its people, they will succeed and have the desired impact.
At IndInfravit, we have attempted to engrain ESG in our DNA. But before doing that we reflected on our business objectives, the ecosystem, our culture and our vision. As an organization, we are continually striving to achieve and maintain the highest quality standards in the operations and maintenance of projects throughout their concessionary term while incorporating environmental and social considerations important for long term survival of business. Being a key player in the infrastructure space, we are cognizant of the impact we have on the overall ecosystem - economy, environment, society and community at large. It has been our endeavour to create a positive impact on the business neighbourhood, environment and the country as a whole. We acknowledge that to drive this, it is important to engage with our stakeholders, work cohesively and hold ourselves accountable. We strongly believe that our ability to take decisions which create a positive impact on the ecosystem forms the very core of sustainability. Imbibing ESG into our business strategy, thus seemed a perfect choice.

We already collect much of what we need to understand our risk exposures, providing an auditable trail of evidence for routine filings and declarations of how the property portfolio is affected by climate change and other contextual trends.
Critically, it allows us to focus on what we can control: our operations.
We can know and manage how a failure in the power supply will affect us, and therefore what we must do to ensure that our tenants and we can continue to operate effectively. It is the underlying concept behind operational resilience: safe-to-fail.
It builds confidence and value in the market, distinguishing properties that can support continued operations over those that fail. When we view our properties through an operational resilience lens, many opportunities present themselves in cost and risk reduction while enhancing operating efficiencies and value.

Leaders in the data centre industry have responded by becoming powerful voices for sustainable change and as per a recent webinar on Data Centres in Australia Driving the Sustainability Agenda, they are interested more in collaborating than competing and agree that newer standards and gauges can unlock the next green wave of impact and value.
Data centres have traditionally relied on Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) as the sustainability metric of choice. While substantial improvements in PUE standards have been made over the years, measuring PUE alone fails to capture the full environmental impact of data centres.
In this report, we explore how PUE, in combination with Water Usage Efficiency (WUE) and Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) can form a more holistic measure of sustainability performance.
