Sustainable Finance

AirTrunk is powering positive change by setting the standard in sustainable financing

Our Approach

As AirTrunk designs, builds and operates the region’s most sustainable data centres, we are also committed to financing our business and projects through sustainable financing.

Across our financing platforms, we have raised A$7 billion in Environmental, Social and Governance financing, making AirTrunk one of the largest issuers of sustainable financing in the data centre industry globally.

AirTrunk’s financing platform, including our SLL’s and Green Financing Framework, takes AirTrunk to a clear leadership position in sustainable data centre financing. Linking our debt facilities to sustainability performance, holds our business to account on our commitments.
