QUESTIONS
SDEA Label is the only datacenter certification that measures complete sustainability performance based on actual operational data – no estimates, no promises, just measured facts.
Certify your datacenter infrastructure, your IT infrastructure, or achieve full-stack recognition by certifying both – covering facility efficiency, compute utilization, carbon emissions, and water usage.
Unlike self-reported programs, SDEA Label requires independent verification through 12 months of measured data. This is recognition for operators ready to prove performance through independent audit, not just claim it.
SDEA Label provides what sustainability claims cannot: independently verified proof of operational performance that withstands stakeholder scrutiny.
While the datacenter industry drowns in greenwashing and self-reported metrics, SDEA Label delivers competitive differentiation through independent verification. Stakeholders, investors, and customers can't distinguish real performance from marketing – SDEA Label cuts through the noise with audited data.
Choose SDEA Label to gain recognition as an efficiency leader, prove ESG commitments with verified data, and differentiate in a market saturated with unverifiable sustainability claims. This is certification for operators who live efficiency, not just market it.
Create an account in the SDEA Navigator and purchase a dashboard for CHF 500 (one-time payment, lifetime access). Input your operational data and the Navigator automatically calculates your efficiency indices, carbon footprint, and water usage.
If your results meet SDEA Label thresholds, click the "Certify" button in your dashboard to begin the certification process. An independent auditor will verify your data and methodology, and the SDEA Board will review the audit report to determine your certification level (Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze).
Certification is valid for three years and demonstrates independently verified sustainability leadership – helping you differentiate in a market saturated with unverifiable claims.
