ESG as a Competitive Advantage
Corporate executives are increasingly motivated to improve their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) ratings to drive increased investment in their stock by institutional investors. Colocating at Switch data centers has a meaningful impact on customer ESG, by helping clients to achieve their sustainability goals and providing them with a competitive advantage.
