- Significant advances in innovative cooling technologies in past year lowered power usage effectiveness (PUE) in subtropical regions to below 1.2
- Report details six environmental performance domains — water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon footprint reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance
SINGAPORE, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridge Data Centres, a Bain Capital-backed hyperscale data centre platform, has unveiled its inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, detailing its blueprint for a sustainable data centre future.
The rapid growth of data centre development across the Asia-Pacific region has intensified demand for high-performance, secure, and globally accessible computing. As data volumes surge and complexity increases, expectations are rising — data centres must deliver greater efficiency and reliability while reducing their environmental impact.
Bridge Data Centres (BDC) is addressing these evolving demands through sustainability-led innovation. The ESG report details how the company is investing in energy-efficient systems, accelerating its transition to renewable energy, enhancing supply chain performance, and committing to emissions reductions.
Ahead of the report's release, BDC established a three-tier ESG governance framework comprising governance, management, and execution layers, with the Board of Directors providing top-level oversight.
Eric Fan, Chairman of Bridge Data Centres ESG Committee, commented, "This inaugural ESG report is a testament to our commitment to building a future that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient. It reflects our core belief that the long-term success of our company is inseparable from the health of our planet, the well-being of our communities, and the trust we earn from our stakeholders."
The report highlights several technological milestones across six environmental performance domains — water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon foot print reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance. Backed by 588 patents, BDC has made significant strides in water recycling and on-site treatment systems to improve Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). Breakthroughs in cooling technologies have lowered Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) in subtropical regions to below 1.2 — setting a new company milestone for energy efficiency. In Thailand, BDC's facility generated 511 MWh of renewable energy through rooftop solar panels. Additionally, innovations in construction technology have enabled a 30% reduction in construction cycles, accelerating customer deployment while reducing construction-related waste.
Bridge Data Centres is now a member of RE100 and has committed to achieving 100% renewable energy usage by 2040. BDC has also submitted goals to Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
The ESG report also details BDC's social impact. Over the past year, BDC has increased employment by over 24% year-on-year, with 85% of new hires hired in local markets, generating localized job opportunities and contributing to talent development for the data centre sector. Women represented 33.3% of the BDC executive management team – a notable figure in the data centre industry.
"As a digital infrastructure designer and builder, we have a unique responsibility — and powerful opportunity — to lead the way in sustainability. The choices we make today in design, construction, and operations will shape the future of our environment and society," added Mr Fan.

HOTLIST is a expert-curated list reflecting the evolving values of the market at each stage of development. The selection process combines the expertise of a prestigious advisory council comprising both domestic and international experts, based on key criteria including quality, innovation, social impact, and sustainable growth potential.
Last year, HOTLIST 2024 made a strong impression on the tourism, hospitality, and service community by recognising more than 40 brands and 12 inspiring individuals across 28 categories spanning hospitality and resorts, destinations, technology, and experiential initiatives. The year also marked the first time HOTLIST expanded into a professional event series, featuring The Insiders Forum and the Honor Ceremony, attracting over 700 guests including senior business leaders and experts from various fields.
HOTLIST 2025: From Seed to Harvest
Entering 2025, HOTLIST is developed under the theme "From Seed to Harvest" inspired by rice, a symbol deeply rooted in Vietnam's wet-rice civilisation and cultural identity. From planting ideas and nurturing resources to harvesting sustainable achievements, this metaphor reflects the authentic development journey of projects, brands, and destinations within the tourism and hospitality industry.
At a time when the tourism sector faces multiple challenges such as climate change, shifting traveller behaviour, and global competition, the spirit of "From Seed to Harvest" underscores the importance of long-term vision, perseverance, and adaptability.
This year, HOTLIST 2025 introduces a public voting component in the final evaluation stage, enabling the community and industry professionals to participate directly in the selection process. Beyond fostering engagement, this initiative also provides an opportunity for audiences to share their firsthand experiences with the shortlisted brands and projects.

It also introduces international brands that have made a positive impact on the Vietnamese market, including voco Quang Binh Resort by IHG, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, and Hyatt Place Halong Bay, Bai Chay. In the Aviation category, STARLUX AIRLINES was selected for its premium flight experience.
The expansion and diversification of award categories reflect HOTLIST's commitment to comprehensively capturing industry dynamics, while encouraging responsible development models that respect local identity and generate positive social impact.
As part of its mission to deliver practical value to the tourism industry, HOTLIST 2025 will host The Insiders Forum in Hanoi (7 January 2026, Sheraton Hanoi West) and Ho Chi Minh City (19 January 2026, JW Marriott Hotel & Suites Saigon). The forums will gather business leaders, experts, and researchers to share insights and discuss key topics shaping tourism landscape.
On 19 January 2026, The Honor Ceremony will take place in Ho Chi Minh City to officially recognise and present certificates to the brands, projects, and individuals featured in HOTLIST 2025. The event will also serve as a B2B networking platform for industry stakeholders.
