Supply Chain ESG
Engaging with our suppliers is important to ensure that they are operating with high standards for human rights, labor, and environmental responsibility. In 2023, we launched a dedicated Supply Chain ESG Program in order to:
- Comply with new and emerging international laws and regulations that mandate increasing visibility into, and accountability for, the behavior of vendors in our supply chain
- Reduce Scope 3 emissions within Digital Realty’s value chain 24% per square foot by 2030 from 2018 levels as part of our global SBTi carbon reduction target
- Increase supplier diversity and increase diverse supplier spend

We are partnering with a leading global supplier sustainability ratings company to evaluate our global suppliers across the categories of environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. Since launching our program in 2023, we have assessed 112 Level 1 and 2 suppliers for ESG performance, covering 60% of our supplier spend.
We also incorporated sustainability discussions into many of our Supplier Annual Business Reviews. These discussions involved an overview of our Supply Chain ESG Program, results of their specific supplier assessments and emphasis of our target to reduce supplier emissions.
Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines core company principles and describes the standards our suppliers must meet to establish and maintain a business relationship with us.
Supplier Diversity
Working with certified diverse suppliers plays a big role in helping us achieve our mission. It’s not just the right thing to do as good global citizens, it’s also smart business. Let’s work together toward a more connected and inclusive future.
