SDEA Label Nominated for DCS Award 2026

The fourth major industry nomination in 12 months recognizes SDEA's verification-based certification approach.

SDEA Label has been nominated for the 2026 DCS Awards in the category "Outstanding Contribution to Sustainability and Efficiency." This marks SDEA's second consecutive DCS Award nomination and fourth major industry recognition within the past year, following the DCW Award win and nominations at the Global Connectivity Awards and DCS Awards 2025.

Vote for SDEA

The DCS Awards winners are determined through public voting. If you share our belief that datacenter sustainability should be independently verified, we'd appreciate your vote here.

The nomination recognizes SDEA Label's focus on independently verified sustainability. In an industry built on projections and self-reported metrics, the Label requires 12 months of measured operational data, independently audited, covering infrastructure efficiency, IT efficiency, carbon footprint, and water usage.

For a small Swiss non-profit organization, being nominated alongside industry leaders at one of the sector's most prestigious award programs represents significant recognition that verified sustainability is transitioning from pioneer approach to industry expectation.
