Safaricom Limuru Data Centre achieves BSI Data Centre Facilities Mark of Trust

Published

on

By

SHANGHAI, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 14 May 2026, at the 9th Intelligence Summit and BSI’s 125th Anniversary Celebration hosted by BSI, Safaricom Limuru Data Centre achieved BSI Data Centre Facilities Mark of Trust. The certification confirms that the facility’s capabilities across availability, security, energy efficiency and sustainability have been independently verified against rigorous international benchmarks. It also represents a milestone for Africa’s digital infrastructure sector, signaling a decisive move towards international standards alignment and the establishment of a credible digital trust framework.

BSI Data Centre Mark of Trust: Building a Quantifiable Trust Benchmark with International Standards

The BSI Data Centre Mark of Trust (DCMoT) is the world’s first integrated data centre verification scheme. Built on a modular architecture, it evaluates an organisation’s design, construction, operation and continual improvement capabilities through three lenses — policy, governance and operational practice — enabling organisations to demonstrate governance maturity and operational resilience in a structured, progressive manner.

Anchored in international standards such as ISO/IEC 22237, the Mark of Trust delivers independent, transparent and rigorous assessments across five core dimensions: availability and protection, business continuity, energy management, water management and carbon management. The framework rests on the ISO system and relevant global regulatory structures, giving the data centre industry an authoritative, internationally recognisable assessment architecture that commands a high degree of trust.

Certification Empowerment: Forging a Trust Cornerstone and Growth Engine for Africa’s Digital Transformation

Achieving the Data Centre Mark of Trust is both a strong endorsement of Safaricom Limuru Data Centre’s infrastructure and governance capabilities, and a practical, internationally aligned benchmark for data centre operators across Africa. At a time when artificial intelligence, cloud computing and critical digital services are accelerating rapidly, data centres have evolved from back-end IT infrastructure into essential hubs underpinning the digital economy and the resilience of critical national infrastructure. This certification sends a clear signal of maturity to the market, and is expected to strengthen international customer and investor confidence in Africa’s data centre sector.

Moving forward, BSI will continue to apply the Mark of Trust’s modular verification architecture, working alongside global data centre operators and value chain partners to drive meaningful improvements in security, resilience and sustainability. This work will help establish a solid, trustworthy foundation for the long-term growth of artificial intelligence and the wider digital economy.

ATHENS, Greece, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hanshow, a global leader in digital retail solutions, today announced a large‑scale collaboration with Hellenic Hypermarkets Sklavenitis S.A., one of Greece’s largest FMCG retailers, supporting the company’s efforts to modernize store operations and build a future‑ready in‑store infrastructure across its extensive retail network.

Operating over 460 stores along with distribution centers and eMarket facilities nationwide, Sklavenitis serves more than 680,000 customers daily, requiring operational excellence, consistency, and trust at every touchpoint. With a broad product assortment and high store traffic, simplifying internal processes and maintaining operational consistency are critical priorities for the smooth and reliable operation of its stores. This is where Hanshow’s technology comes in—helping to turn operational complexity into consistent store-level execution, enhancing operational performance, supporting team efficiency and ultimately delivering a more reliable and trusted experience for customers.

To support these priorities, Sklavenitis has initiated a nationwide ESL rollout in partnership with Hanshow, deploying electronic shelf labels at scale across its extensive store portfolio. The rollout will standardize Hanshow’s Nebular Ultra ESL series across the store network. Featuring centimeter‑level, highly accurate shelf intelligence, Nebular Ultra enables precise product placement and strong shelf‑level visibility, supporting planogram execution and operational management at scale. Beyond immediate operational benefits, the deployment also establishes a digital shelf infrastructure capable of supporting future in-store innovations. Combined with technologies such as computer vision and smart shopping carts, the high-precision shelf framework can enable advanced automation, real-time shelf monitoring, and new data-driven retail applications as part of Sklavenitis’ broader digital transformation roadmap.

“As grocery retail becomes increasingly complex and regulated, leading retailers like Sklavenitis are rethinking the role of in‑store infrastructure,” said Liangyan Li, SVP and Head of Global Sales at Hanshow. “This collaboration is about building a digital foundation that supports accuracy, efficiency, and long‑term adaptability, and our role is to enable that strategy at scale.”

This collaboration reflects Hanshow’s continued commitment to empowering leading retailers worldwide through scalable, future‑ready in‑store infrastructure, supporting long‑term transformation while keeping each retailer’s strategy and values at the center.
