IT Carbon Footprint Calculation

Establishing the Carbon Baseline

The IT Carbon Footprint Calculation service is designed for IT Management required to provide carbon footprint reporting and also manage and reduce carbon emissions over time.

The service is available in two formats.

1. Basic IT Carbon Footprint Calculation. Using the most base elements of carbon footprint calculation, the basic calculation provides an approximation of the IT carbon footprint and is suitable where IT Management requires an understanding of the overall profile of carbon emissions.
2. Complete IT Carbon Footprint Calculation. Including all of the details necessary to calculate an accurate IT-specific carbon footprint and using a consistent and widely accepted methodology, the footprint is calculated in a manner that can be independently verifiable and provided for inclusion in corporate footprint calculations.

Based on the de-facto GHG protocol standards, the calculation can be used to initiate a programme of change to manage the reduction of carbon emissions including:

1. Establishing and agreeing carbon emission reduction targets.
2. Identification of potential opportunities for achieving carbon emission reduction targets.
3. Realising of priorities for activities based on potential fiscal returns.
4. Measurement of progress over time against planned activities.

Establishing the carbon footprint calculation for IT is an important and necessary step in establishing a carbon management programme within IT that is complementary to the overall corporate response of a business.

Within just a few days our methods and processes can provide you with invaluable information that can help you identify cost and carbon emission reduction opportunities.
