Nebius Group N.V.'s 2024 Sustainability Report highlights the importance of sustainability in business strategy for achieving competitive advantages, including operational cost leadership through energy efficiency, regulatory readiness for emerging standards, and differentiation in an increasingly sustainability-conscious market.
2024 Sustainability Report
The 2024 Sustainability Report shows how sustainability metrics translated directly to business advantages, with a 20% lower TCO through infrastructure efficiencies, including hardware design and energy efficiency solutions. Its custom-designed servers saved 10 GWh of energy in 2024.
Nebius's flagship data centre in Mäntsälä, Finland, showcased an in-house designed hardware optimised for thermal management, water- and refrigerant-free air cooling, and recycling of server heat. Its innovative heat recovery system claims to cover 65% of the local municipality's heating needs.
Most (94%) of the electricity consumed comes from low-carbon sources, resulting in a market-based emissions intensity of just 0.04 tCO₂-eq per 1 MWh of energy used, which is among the lowest reported in the technology sector. Nebius also recycled nearly 100% of its retired hardware, addressing growing concerns over e-waste as GPU generations evolve rapidly.
"Sustainability is not something we do on the side — it is integral to how we are building our business to be competitive. This is a strategic approach in which every efficiency gain we engineer into our infrastructure translates directly into better performance," John Boynton, chairman of Nebius, said.
