- 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.

Debuting with advanced picture performance, the new 130-inch Micro RGB TV sets a new standard for ultra-premium displays
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled the world's first 130-inch Micro RGB TV (R95H model) at CES 2026, marking the debut of its largest Micro RGB display and a bold new design direction for ultra-premium displays.
"Micro RGB represents the peak of our picture quality innovation, and the new 130-inch model takes that vision even further," said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. "We're reviving the spirit of our original design philosophy introduced more than a decade ago to deliver an unmistakably premium display, engineered with technology for a new generation."
Bold Design That Redefines What a TV Can Be
The Micro RGB TV's commanding scale, next-generation color technology and striking design approach reflect Samsung's longstanding leadership in engineering excellence united with premium aesthetics. With a monumental frame and improved audio performance, the 130-inch display is intentionally designed to appear less like a television and more like a vast, immersive window that visually expands the room.
The TV offers a modern, gallery-inspired aesthetic through the Timeless Frame, a modern evolution of Samsung's 2013 Timeless Gallery design, now with a refined frame that embodies the philosophy of "technology as art." Inspired by the frame of a grand architectural window, the ultra-large screen appears to float within its borders, transforming the TV into an artistic centerpiece that shapes the room. Sound integrated into the display's frame is carefully balanced to the screen's size, so picture and audio feel naturally connected in a space.
Ultimate Viewing Experience to Match Its Scale
The 130-inch Micro RGB model features Samsung's most advanced Micro RGB innovations to date. Powered by Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, Micro RGB Color Booster Pro and Micro RGB HDR Pro, it leverages AI to enhance dull tones and refine contrast, delivering vivid color and subtle detail across bright and dark scenes alike for realism and picture fidelity.
The display elevates picture performance with Micro RGB Precision Color 100, delivering 100% of the BT.2020 wide color gamut. Certified by the Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE) for precise Micro RGB color reproduction, it produces finely controlled hues that appear true to life on screen. The 130-inch model also includes Samsung's proprietary Glare Free technology, which minimizes reflections, further preserving clear color and contrast across a variety of lighting conditions for the best viewing experience.
The product supports HDR10+ ADVANCED[1] and Eclipsa Audio to provide an enhanced picture and sound quality, as well as Samsung's enhanced Vision AI Companion,[2] enabling conversational search, proactive recommendations and access to AI features and apps such as AI Football Mode Pro, AI Sound Controller Pro, Live Translate, Generative Wallpaper, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity. The first-of-its-kind display will be showcased at Samsung's Exhibition Zone during CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
