In its new Sustainability Report, under GRI standards and aligned with the United Nations SDGs, Cirion reports 100% renewable energy in four countries and verifiable progress in environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.
Each query to an artificial intelligence model travels through cables, is processed in a data center, and consumes energy. Behind the rise of AI is a physical infrastructure that is growing at an unprecedented rate in Latin America, and with it its energy demand. In this context, Cirion Technologies, a leading provider of the digital infrastructure that supports the region’s connectivity, today published its fourth Sustainability Report: by 2025 it reduced its total emissions by 11% and guaranteed 100% renewable energy in its data centers in four countries, while the demand for computing for AI continued to accelerate.
Sustainability at scale for the region’s critical infrastructure
Cirion operates the network and data centers on which the digital services of companies, governments, operators and hyperscalers run in Latin America: more than 54,500 km of terrestrial network, more than 50,433 km of subsea network and 20 carrier-neutral data centers serving more than 5,500 customers. During 2025, it put into operation two new data centers, SAN2, in Chile, and LIM2, in Peru, prepared for the intensive processing loads associated with artificial intelligence. At that scale, each energy efficiency measure and each renewable energy point has a measurable effect. The report was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and aligns its initiatives with the 2030 Agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A more efficient operation with more renewable energy
In 2025, Cirion reduced its total greenhouse gas emissions by 11% compared to 2024, a reduction equivalent to avoiding the annual emissions of nearly 3,000 cars, with falls of 10.3% in Scope 2 (market-based) and 13.4% in Scope 3. The company guarantees 100% renewable energy, through I-REC certificates, in its data centers in Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Chile, with additional renewable coverage of 60% in Ecuador and 40% in Argentina, and sets the goal of 100% renewable energy for each new data center. An artificial intelligence module incorporated into its DCIM platform reduced the consumption of HVAC systems by 13.8% in the BOG2 data center in Bogotá, with regional expansion planned for 2026.
In the circular economy, the company managed 64.4 tonnes of waste during the year with 40.9% recycled and recovered more than 6 tonnes of materials and equipment for reuse.
“Sustainability is no longer a complementary exercise but a fundamental dimension of business management. Today, 96% of the world’s 250 largest companies report ESG or sustainability information, up from only 35% in 1999. At the same time, the GRI standards, under which Cirion develops its Sustainability Report, are used by companies representing 62% of global market capitalization. These figures show how much the expectation of companies has evolved: it is no longer enough to grow, we must also demonstrate how we do it.” Valeria Plastino, EVP, General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer.
Governance and digital trust
In 2025, Cirion updated its double materiality analysis to integrate ESG issues into corporate strategy and decision-making, under the supervision of the Board through an ESG Subcommittee. 99% of employees, including 100% of the Board of Directors, completed mandatory trainings on ethics, anti-corruption, data protection and compliance. The company recorded no security incidents or breaches compromising sensitive information or personal data during the year, and strengthened its privacy management with the implementation of the OneTrust platform.
In its value chain, Cirion worked with more than 4,400 suppliers and business partners in the region; 100% of active suppliers adhered to its Supplier Code of Conduct, with commitments to ethics, human rights and sustainability.
People: diverse talent and well-being
With more than 2,300 employees in more than 11 countries, Cirion recorded a higher hiring rate of women (13%) than men (12%) and strengthened its initiatives for female leadership, inclusion and diversity in technology. 100% of employees received performance evaluations and reinforced their training in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, networking and leadership together with allies such as Digital House, INE and the University of Palermo.
The health and safety management system covers 100% of the employees in the region; more than 1,000 people participated in preventive culture initiatives and the company was recognized by ARL SURA as a Healthy Company for its physical and mental well-being programs.
Responsible growth for Latin America
As the demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, sustainability becomes a competitiveness factor for the sector. In 2025, Cirion allocated USD 63,600 to social programs and civil society organizations in Latin America, for the benefit of vulnerable communities through education, employability, economic development, and child support initiatives, in line with SDGs 1, 4, and 8.

- The NaaS market is expected to grow from US$33.000 billion in 2025 to US$115.000 billion by 2030 (+28.3%), and Cirion is entering the space with its own regional infrastructure.
- Network changes that used to take 4-12 weeks can now be executed in minutes; customers report savings of 40%-60% and performance improvements across 75% of their applications.
- The platform operates over 105,000 km of fiber across 20+ countries, with dynamic scalability and integrated security, without replacing existing infrastructure.
Washington, D.C., May 19, 2026. Cirion Technologies today announced the launch of its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform in Latin America, a solution that turns its more than 105,000 kilometers of own optical fiber, deployed across more than 20 countries, into a programmable, elastic, and self-managed network.
The platform enables companies to activate, adjust, and scale optical connectivity autonomously through a digital portal, without waiting weeks for a circuit change, without additional contracts, and without operational friction. It is the most concrete step a regional operator has taken to bring physical connectivity closer to cloud logic.
The promise of Network-as-a-Service has been on the industry’s radar for years, but bringing it to real scale in Latin America – with different regulations in each market, fragmented infrastructure, and demand growing faster than installed capacity – is something very few operators have been able to achieve.
“The speed at which customers are scaling from 100G to 400G – and already to 800G – shows us that business growth no longer waits for infrastructure. Artificial intelligence is accelerating this shift, and the network must respond in real time. Network-as-a-Service is exactly that: moving from rigid networks to programmable platforms that keep pace with market dynamics. The call to action is clear: prepare today to operate at the speed the next digital wave will demand.” Daniel Peiretti, SVP, Products and Customer Experience, Cirion Technologies
One of the platform’s most relevant differentiators is its ability to integrate with the customer’s existing network and security infrastructure, without the need to replace equipment or modify protection policies. It is not merely an overlay: it is connectivity that operates at the foundational layer of enterprise architecture.
The solution incorporates self-service capabilities, real-time operational visibility, dynamic bandwidth management, performance monitoring, usage metrics, and API-orchestrated operations. In doing so, it closes the gap between cloud agility and the robustness of physical connectivity – a point that has historically slowed the adoption of as-a-service models at the transport layer.
Infrastructure Built for What Comes Next
The launch marks the first phase of an ongoing rollout. Coverage will expand progressively across Cirion’s network and its ecosystem of carrier-neutral data centers in the region. The medium-term focus is on the Pacific Coast, with additional investments in Argentina and Chile and greater redundancy in strategic nodes.
With Network-as-a-Service, Cirion takes another step forward in its roadmap to transform Latin America’s digital infrastructure into a living, flexible, and intelligent platform: a network capable of evolving at the pace of its customers and continuously incorporating new capabilities in automation, security, and operational intelligence. This launch is not an endpoint, but the beginning of a new stage of innovation. An advance made possible today through the joint work with Ciena and Carma, strategic partners who helped bring this technological evolution to life for the region.

- With state-of-the-art data centers in 7 countries across Latin America, Cirion Technologies is strengthening the infrastructure that will enable the region to advance in the development and adoption of artificial intelligence.
Buenos Aires, March 25, 2026 – On International Data Center Day, the global industry is undergoing a structural shift driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and the accelerated digitalization of multiple sectors. This process is significantly increasing the demand for digital infrastructure. Market projections point to strong growth in data centers toward the end of the decade. Global data center demand is estimated to grow between 19% and 22% annually through 2030.
In this context, South America is emerging as an increasingly relevant region on the global infrastructure map. Sustained growth in digital consumption, expanding connectivity, and an energy matrix with a high share of renewable sources are driving the sector’s development.
Market evolution is evident across the region. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela are examples of countries where new expansion opportunities are emerging every day. Governments are paying close attention to this window of opportunity and are moving to promote support and incentive initiatives for the market. This scenario reflects a structural shift: the region is transitioning from a model of isolated markets to a distributed network of digital infrastructure. Artificial intelligence is emerging as the main driver of transformation in the sector.
“On International Data Center Day, we celebrate the essential role these infrastructures play in the development of Latin America. Our platform operates in seven countries across the region, in strategic markets such as Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Quito, Curitiba, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro. In each of these locations, our data centers host ecosystems that drive business and economic activity through interconnection. We support hyperscalers and leading international service providers as they enter the region, while connecting local companies to cutting-edge technologies to accelerate the development of their digital platforms,” said Gabriel del Campo, Chief Revenue Officer – Data Center at Cirion Latam.
New applications require not only greater capacity, but also higher power density, low latency, and proximity to end users. AI workloads are estimated to increase data center power density by three to four times, putting additional pressure on companies to adopt sustainable solutions. Companies entering the region are designing geographically distributed architectures across multiple sites, seeking more resilient models that create opportunities across different countries. At the same time, cloud expansion remains a key driver, shaping an environment where infrastructure must be increasingly interconnected, resilient, and scalable.
However, the sector’s growth faces significant challenges. Access to electricity, along with factors such as transmission, permitting, and regulatory predictability, is becoming a critical element for future development. In this context, the availability of local partners with deep market knowledge becomes a key differentiator for international companies looking to enter or expand in the region.
The role of data centers is also evolving. They are no longer fragmented infrastructures but are becoming interconnection platforms where cloud providers, enterprises, and connectivity platforms converge. The ability to integrate these ecosystems becomes a competitive advantage, ensuring continuity and innovation for the companies operating within them.
Operators with integrated regional presence are seeking to capture market growth. Cirion Technologies has been executing a data center expansion strategy across the region, based on a model that combines scalable facilities with dense, interconnected digital ecosystems. In recent years, the company has expanded capacity with new 20 MW facilities in Santiago (SAN2) and Lima (LIM2), along with expansions in Quito (QUI2), Buenos Aires (BUE1), São Paulo (SAO1 and SAO2), and Rio de Janeiro (RIO1). It is also developing a new 80 MW site in Rio de Janeiro (RIO2), being built in phases according to demand, as well as Bogotá (BOG2). These investments reflect a commitment to maintaining a constantly evolving environment capable of supporting future growth in space and power, while hosting an ecosystem that ensures technological advancement through access to innovative solutions from multiple digital service providers.
On this International Data Center Day, the key takeaway is clear: digital infrastructure is no longer just a support layer—it has become a strategic asset. In South America, this shift represents a unique opportunity. The challenge is set — and the evolution will not stop.
