Scala first in industry to neutralise 100% of Scope 3

Scala Data Centres, the Latin American sustainable hyperscale data centre platform, has achieved a landmark industry-first for sustainability standards.

The company has become the first in its sector to successfully measure 100% of its Scope 3. Now, the provider has successfully measured and completely neutralised its Scope 3 emissions. 

Scope 3 is the most complex to measure, as it encompasses the carbon emissions generated by the company's value chain related to the acquisition of goods and the commute of employees, along with a number of other factors.
