  5. multiple industry recognitions for operational reliability and sustainability performance

  1. continued build-out of its flagship mega-campus portfolio in Malaysia
  2. strengthened and diversified its hyperscale customer base
  3. advanced its large-scale development program in Thailand
  4. expanded its resource and power reservation pipeline to 2GW+

A brand identity which signals strategic progress

The new brand identity is designed to signal BDC's next phase of strategic progress as the company scales into larger, higher-density and AI-ready development models. Visually expressed through a rising arc emblem and a bold, forward-looking design system, the identity reflects BDC's ambition to build infrastructure that is both economically enabling and environmentally responsible, while reinforcing its role as a long-term steward of digital growth.
