The Hyderabad data centre of AdaniConneX – the joint venture between the Adani Group, India’s largest private infrastructure and energy provider, and EdgeConneX, one of the world’s largest private data centre operators – has received Five-Star grading in the Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted by the British Safety Council.
This global recognition makes AdaniConneX’s Hyderabad site the first data centre in India to receive such an honour and demonstrates its commitment to the continual improvement of health and safety management systems and associated arrangements.
The site underwent a comprehensive, quantified and robust evaluation of its occupational health and safety policies, processes and practices. It measured performance against key health and safety management best practice indicators and conducted a detailed review of almost 60 components.
As one of India’s fastest growing players, AdaniConneX is building a 1 GW data centre platform powered by renewable energy in key locations, including Hyderabad, Chennai, Noida and Pune. In the age of artificial intelligence, the strategic deployment of a comprehensive network of data centres will accelerate the adoption of modern technologies, fuelling India’s digital ambitions.
Mike Robinson, CEO of the British Safety Council, said, “The award of a five-star grading is an outstanding achievement and is reflective of a proactive organisation committed to improvement in its health and safety arrangements, and managing risks to workers’ health, safety and well- being.”
Sanjay Bhutani, Chief Business Officer of AdaniConneX, said, “Safety serves as the bedrock of our growth. We are steadfast in building a ‘culture of care’ and zero harm across sites. We have initiated multiple initiatives around people development, site digitalization, and process enhancement in adherence to global best practices. The coveted five-star grading by the British Safety Council will inspire us to further our mission of building safer construction sites while delivering an efficient and best-in-class customer experience.”
The Five-Star Audit is a comprehensive, contemporary and quantified process which benchmarks health and safety management performance against the latest best practice techniques.
Since its foundation in 1957, British Safety Council has campaigned tirelessly to protect workers from accidents, hazards and unsafe conditions. Its members in more than 60 countries are committed to protecting and improving the wellbeing of workers, believing that a healthy and safe work environment is also good for business.
