Across the global data-centre industry, sustainability is no longer a side conversation - it’s the conversation.
Operators are under pressure to prove progress, publish accurate ESG data, and meet new standards like CSRD and ISO 14064.
But there’s a problem: most are trying to hit those goals using data that simply isn’t readily accessible or trusted.
When the data’s wrong, everything else is too
For years, operators have had to make do with systems that don’t talk to each other. Facilities teams hold power and cooling data, IT teams track capacity, and sustainability teams report on carbon - often using estimates pulled from manufacturer plates or outdated spreadsheets.
The result? Reports that look detailed on paper but don’t reflect what’s really happening in the facility.
“For years, data-centre operators have had to make sustainability decisions based on incomplete or assumed data," says Steve Beber, CEO of Assetspire.
“You can’t drive real progress that way, not when every reporting framework now demands accuracy and traceability.
Partnering with COzPro allows us to close that gap. It brings verified carbon intelligence directly into the same environment where operational data already lives. It’s no longer a separate system or a static report.
It’s live, it’s trusted, and it gives operators a single version of the truth. That’s what’s exciting here: turning sustainability from something that’s reported on once a year into something that’s managed every day.”
When you’re making investment or compliance decisions based on half-truths, it’s risky AND it’s expensive.
- Over-reporting emissions inflate your carbon footprint.
- Under-reporting energy waste hides the savings you could be making.
- And fragmented data makes forecasting and optimisation a guessing game.
Seeing the full picture
This is the issue Assetspire set out to fix from the very beginning.
The SPIRE™ platform connects every physical and logical asset - racks, rooms, even entire estates - into one accurate, auditable source of truth.
It gives operators a real-time digital twin of their data centre so they can finally see what’s happening, not what’s assumed.
But to run a sustainable operation, visibility alone isn’t enough.
You also need to understand the carbon cost of every asset, and that’s where COzPro comes in.
Turning carbon data into operational intelligence
Through the partnership between Assetspire and COzPro, sustainability data now sits right alongside operational data - no more exporting, merging, or estimating.
COzPro’s Manufacturer Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and EPD-derived data bring certified carbon values for every asset in the estate.
When that information feeds directly into SPIRE™, operators get real-time carbon dashboards that show the environmental impact of every asset - down to individual devices.
“The real breakthrough isn’t just in carbon measurement, it’s in context. By embedding our verified data directly into Assetspire’s live asset environment, sustainability insight becomes part of how a data centre actually runs.” says Jean-Marc Jefferson, Head of Sustainability and Innovation of COzPro.
“Our goal has always been to make sustainability measurable in real time, not retroactively. With Assetspire, we can do that at a level of detail and accuracy that’s been missing from the industry for too long. It’s how we move from compliance reporting to meaningful, evidence-based action.”
Together, the two platforms give Data Centre operators a way to:
- Automate carbon and ESG reporting with a full audit trail.
- Track genuine efficiency gains and return on investment.
- Forecast carbon and energy impact before implementation.
- Make informed decisions about maintenance and replacement, backed by data that can stand up to scrutiny.
From compliance to confidence
At the Wexcoe event in Sweden, we showcased how the integration is already helping operators connect the dots between performance, carbon, and cost. The response confirmed what many in the industry already know — the technology exists; what’s been missing is trust in the data.
“With COzPro, our clients can measure sustainability with the same precision as they manage their assets,” says Steve Beber. “That’s what turns compliance into capability.”
Where this leads
- Regulation is only going to tighten.
- Stakeholders expect transparency, not estimates.
- And those who can prove their numbers will have a clear competitive edge.
The partnership between Assetspire and COzPro gives data-centre operators the tools and the confidence to manage both performance and sustainability in the same breath.
Because in a carbon-smart world, accuracy isn’t optional - it’s your advantage.
