Google's Data Center Project in Finland Under Investigation for Environmental Violations
Google's data center project in Finland is under investigation for possible environmental violations after 330 hectares of forest were cleared.
The investigation focuses on possible infringements of water legislation and environmental damage caused by the project’s preparatory work.
Google has defended its actions, stating that it followed its interpretation of Finnish environmental law.
The project is part of Google’s larger investment plan in Finland, which includes a 13,000 million euro investment in digital infrastructure by 2027 and 2028.
