Sustainability
“Telia Carrier has mapped out ambitious sustainability targets that we need to meet by 2030, and this partnership with EcoDataCenter is integral in helping us to achieve them,” explained Mattias Fridstrom, VP and Chief Evangelist at Telia Carrier.
“We have been in discussions with EcoDataCenter for the last five years as we recognised the importance of what it was aspiring to achieve, and we very much wanted to be a part of it.”
Mission critical
