Available in North America and in Europe , Middle East and Africa ( EMEA ), this ground-breaking introduction reflects Vertiv ’ s commitment to supporting customers ’ sustainability objectives by using a more environmentally friendly material that can minimise resource depletion and lower CO 2 emissions .

Mass timber , if sourced from sustainably harvested wood , serves as a renewable construction material with the potential to minimise resource depletion and lower carbon footprint by up to three times compared to steel based on the reduction of CO 2 emissions associated with the cradle-to-gate product life cycle and the transport of materials and structural elements to the assembly site . This eco-friendly choice aligns with Vertiv ’ s mission to offer solutions that meet high-performance standards but also contribute to the global effort to reduce CO 2 emissions .
