"Data centres are unique beasts, and you have to look for more than experience to find the right leader,” says Tim Walton, head of digital infrastructure for global organisational consulting firm, Korn Ferry in EMEA. It’s no surprise that the Korn Ferry team spoke to our CEO Dame Dawn Childs DBE FREng on this topic. With a career spanning the military, aviation, energy and more, Dame Dawn’s expertise means she was perfectly placed to take on a leadership role in the data centre industry. As the sector accelerates, leadership that can scale with it is non-negotiable. At Pure DC, with a leadership team that consists of both external hires and homegrown leaders, we’re proud to be setting that standard.

A great day with Earthwatch Europe planting 3 urban tiny forests in Barnet. It’s exciting that A Healthier Earth and Pure Data Centres Group have been key to making this happen. Pure has provided the funding and we have provided the trees, the biochar and the scientific methodology. The engagement with the community and having 4 local schools come and also help plant trees today was great to see. Excited for our next partnership between A Healthier Earth and Earthwatch Europe. Finally, thanks to Barnet Council and Barnet Mayor Councillor Tony Vourou for working with us to make this happen and putting forward the land for us to work with. The weather was also fantastic!

Why gamble on complex and expensive technologies when we have the proven solutions already found in nature? Alastair Collier, Chief R&D Officer at our climate tech R&D subsidiary A Healthier Earth, explores this question in his article for Maddyness. Find out how tech hyperscalers are driving the carbon removal market — and why it’s time to prioritise proven, scalable, nature-based solutions like biochar. At Pure DC, we’ve always believed that sustainability needs to be more than ambition — it needs action. That’s why we're investing in Europe's largest biochar production facility, as well as practical nature-based solutions like Tiny Forests. (ICMYI, we recently planted 1,800 in one day in the London Borough of Barnet!) As demand for digital infrastructure grows, the environmental responsibility grows with it. We’re proud to be part of a movement proving that high-performance data centres and bold climate action can go hand-in-hand.
