The European Union (EU) introduced the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centre Energy Efficiency in 2008. Its goal is to motivate operators and owners of data centers to reduce energy consumption and hence its negative impact on the environment, the economy, and energy supply security. Companies can join this voluntary initiative, which T-Systems did in 2014. The related EU Commission page provides transparent, detailed information about the participation of individual data centers.

We currently operate a total of 16 FMO twin-core data centers in Europe at eight FMO twin-core sites – eight internally and eight externally – in addition to four local customer-specific data centers. Six of our eight internal European FMO twin-core data centers, and one external FMO twin-core data center, have been included in the EU Code of Conduct list since 2021. The seventh internal European FMO twin-core data center is set to be added to the list in 2023. By taking part in the EU Code of Conduct, T-Systems meets an important criterion for achievement of Taxonomy-conformity under the regulatory initiative for sustainable business activities (EU Taxonomy ). More information about our commitment within the framework of the EU Taxonomy is available here.
