energy and water use in production facilities, tracking and reporting emissions, and increasing recycled content in the metals they source. That dual focus of more efficient buildings and lower-impact manufacturing gives owners greater confidence that the infrastructure behind their data centers aligns with their broader sustainability goals. At the infrastructure level, key metrics for ESG performance are also becoming more clearly defined. Energy efficiency within cooling systems, water usage, lifecycle durability, and material transparency are emerging as core indicators of sustainable performance. As owners dig deeper into material transparency, high recycled content in valves, fittings, and piping is becoming another lever for reducing embodied impact without sacrificing performance. These metrics allow operators to move beyond high-level commitments and toward measurable, data driven improvements. For many operators, partnering with manufacturers that can support these energy, water, and durability metrics, backed by clear documentation, is becoming an essential part of meeting ESG commitments. Within this evolving landscape, Aalberts IPS plays a role as a provider of integrated piping and hydronic solutions designed to support efficient, reliable system performance. By focusing on optimized flow control, reduced pressure loss, and durable connection technologies, the company’ s approach aligns with the broader industry emphasis on long term efficiency and lifecycle reliability. At the same time, ongoing efforts to provide clearer environmental data reflect the growing importance of transparency in infrastructure selection. For data center owners and engineers, those priorities converge most clearly in how cooling and distribution systems are assembled in the field. Aalberts IPS’ press connection technologies are engineered to reduce installation waste and rework by eliminating open flame, minimizing the number of connection steps, and providing repeatable, leak-resistant joints across large mechanical
