Corporate Sustainability

Grow with QTS - a customer program in partnership with American Forests

For every 100kW that is contracted, not used, each month per customer, QTS will donate one tree through American Forests.

As evidenced by our Powered by People approach, we believe that how we deliver our services is just as important as what is delivered. This means caring for and improving the lives of current and future employees, customers, investors and community members, and taking equal care of the environment and natural resources we all share. This helps us realize our vision of enhancing the care and improvement of human life and minimizing our carbon footprint through technology and manpower.

Our commitment to environmental sustainability, social accountability and corporate governance, rooted in sound and trusted core values, has never wavered, and we will continue to demonstrate this through an increased dedication to transparency and data-backed performance.

We are proud to partner with the most influential sustainability organizations who are working to make a difference in the world for current and future generations. Thanks to support of our leadership and these partnerships, we have the honor of receiving recognition for our leadership in sustainability.
