Eric Fan, CEO, Bridge Data Centres and Abdul Rashid Hj Ismail, CEO of Johor Special Water exchanging a Memorandum of Understanding for the first and largest water reclamation project for its data centre site in Malaysia Johor — Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a leading regional provider of hyperscale data centre solutions, has partnered with Johor Special Water (JSW) to embark on Malaysia’s first Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) integrated within a data centre facility. The Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) is the first of its kind, repurposing treated effluent from a nearby Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) facility and converting it into high-grade reclaimed water suitable for data centre cooling. The plant applies advanced Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) technologies to deliver superior water recovery and quality. Located at the MY07 campus in Ulu Tiram, Johor, the initiative is an exciting step forward in aligning high-performance digital infrastructure with national sustainability goals. Mr Eric Fan, CEO of Bridge Data Centres, said the project demonstrates BDC’s commitment to environmental leadership and sustainable growth in Malaysia. “This is more than a technical achievement — it is an innovative response to growing industry demand for hyperscalers which vie for water resources. BDC's investments in infrastructure and technologies in this plant are anchored on harvesting recycled water for industrial use instead of competing for potable water supplies”, said Mr Fan. The plant significantly reduces reliance on potable water and strengthens the long-term resilience of BDC’s operations, while supporting Johor’s broader environmental agenda. With cumulative investments in Johor exceeding billions, BDC’s facility in MY07 is designed to support up to over 200MW of IT load across multiple phases and serves cloud providers, AI compute operators, and mission-critical enterprises across Southeast Asia. More than 200 skilled jobs in engineering, IT, and operations have been created as part… -

4 July, Singapore – Bridge Data Centres, a Bain Capital-backed hyperscale data centre platform, has unveiled its inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, detailing its blueprint for a sustainable data centre future. The rapid growth of data centre development across the Asia-Pacific region has intensified demand for high-performance, secure, and globally accessible computing. As data volumes surge and complexity increases, expectations are rising—data centres must deliver greater efficiency and reliability while reducing their environmental impact. Bridge Data Centres is addressing these evolving demands through sustainability-led innovation. The ESG report details how the company is investing in energy-efficient systems, accelerating its transition to renewable energy, enhancing supply chain performance, and committing to emissions reductions. Ahead of the report’s release, BDC established a three-tier ESG governance framework comprising governance, management, and execution layers, with the Board of Directors providing top-level oversight. Eric Fan, Chairman of Bridge Data Centres ESG Committee, commented, “This inaugural ESG report is a testament to our commitment to building a future that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient. It reflects our core belief that the long-term success of our company is inseparable from the health of our planet, the well-being of our communities, and the trust we earn from our stakeholders.” The report highlights several technological milestones across six environmental performance domains—water resources management, high-efficiency thermal management, energy system resilience, carbon foot print reduction, green technology R&D, and digital energy governance. Backed by 588 patents, BDC has made significant strides in water recycling and on-site treatment systems to improve Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE). Breakthroughs in cooling technologies have lowered Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) in subtropical regions to below 1.2—setting a new company milestone for energy efficiency. At our Thailand facility, BDC deployed a distributed PV system, a key milestone in transforming the park's energy mix. In 2024, this…
