As Bridge Data Centres (BDC) expands our geographic footprint across Asia Pacific and beyond, we believe our responsibility extends beyond building digital infrastructure. Our ambition is to create long-term value in the communities where we operate by supporting local ecosystems, creating employment opportunities, strengthening local partnerships, and contributing to sustainable economic development. We recognise that data centres are long-term assets embedded within local communities. Their success depends not only on engineering excellence and operational performance, but also on the trust, support, and prosperity of the people around them. As such, we are committed to ensuring that our growth creates meaningful and lasting benefits for local stakeholders, enabling communities to grow alongside us. Our approach is anchored in the BRIDGE framework, which embeds sustainability across everything we do. The 'R' — Responsibility — commits us to upholding social and environmental obligations and investing in the communities that host our operations. We believe the licence to operate is earned through genuine engagement, mutual respect, and positive contributions that extend beyond the boundaries of our campuses. At QHI01, our hyperscale campus in Khlong Tamru, Chonburi Province, which is situated within Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor — that commitment is already taking shape. Sustained community investment begins with fostering trusted relationships. Our team conducts regular working sessions with village chief Phuyai Kritsadaphong and residents near QHI01, listening directly to local concerns and identifying where BDC can make a practical difference. For example, when a group of low-income residents requested support in constructing a perimeter fence around their village compound, BDC and our contractor funded and completed the project. We have also been supporting ongoing river improvement works in the area, helping to restore a local waterway that is now navigable. In April 2026, we attended the award ceremony for Mayor Itthasap Ayucharoean of Khlong Tamru,…

As data centre demand continues to grow, operators are exploring ways to reduce emissions while maintaining the high levels of reliability required for critical infrastructure. One emerging solution is the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a cleaner alternative to conventional diesel for backup power systems. What Is HVO? Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a next-generation renewable fuel produced from 100% waste-based feedstock, such as used cooking oils and fats. It is designed to function as a direct substitute for traditional diesel fuel, without requiring changes to existing engines or infrastructure. Compared to fossil diesel, HVO can reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly while delivering comparable performance. Why Backup Power Matters for Data Centres Backup power systems are a critical component of data centre operations. In the event of grid disruption, generators must start quickly and reliably to ensure uninterrupted service. In many markets, backup generators are also regularly tested under load to meet operational and regulatory requirements. This makes fuel quality, consistency, and reliability essential factors in day-to-day operations. How HVO Works as a Drop-In Replacement One of the key advantages of HVO is that it can be used as a “drop-in” fuel. This means it can be deployed in existing diesel backup generators without modification, enabling operators to adopt a lower-carbon fuel option without redesigning infrastructure. This compatibility allows data centres to transition more easily toward cleaner energy solutions while maintaining operational continuity. Validating HVO in Real-World Conditions Recent pilot projects have shown that HVO can perform reliably across a full range of backup power scenarios, including generator startup, load transfer, and sustained operation under real data centre conditions. Testing under real operational load is particularly important, as it reflects how backup systems are used in practice, not just in controlled environments. Supporting Lower-Carbon Data Centre Operations The…

Bridged Data Centres (BDC), in collaboration with Vertiv, is advancing next-generation data centre capabilities through a flagship liquid cooling project in Malaysia (MY07). Designed to support high-density, AI-driven workloads, this project reflects the growing demand for more efficient and scalable digital infrastructure. Supporting High-Density AI Workloads As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, data centres must handle significantly higher power densities. Traditional cooling methods are no longer sufficient. Liquid cooling offers a more effective solution by improving heat transfer, enhancing energy efficiency, and enabling greater compute performance within the same footprint. Full-Scale Factory Testing for Performance Assurance Ahead of deployment, a full 1:1 factory acceptance test (FAT) was conducted to replicate real-world operating conditions. This rigorous validation process ensures that the system meets performance, stability, and integration requirements before installation. The testing approach highlights BDC’s commitment to engineering excellence and delivering reliable, high-performance infrastructure solutions. Strong Collaboration Driving Innovation The MY07 project demonstrates the strength of collaboration between BDC and Vertiv. By combining expertise in data centre development and critical infrastructure technologies, both parties are delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of AI and high-performance computing environments. Enabling the Future of Digital Infrastructure With increasing demand for AI-ready data centres, liquid cooling will play a critical role in supporting future growth. BDC remains focused on delivering scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions to meet the needs of hyperscalers and enterprise customers across the region.
