Sustainability Meets Efficiency: Streamlining Operations with IT Decarbonization Services
The information and communications technologies sector (ICT) accounts for 5-9% of electricity use and more than 2% of greenhouse emissions – that’s as much as all global air traffic.
All organizations must decarbonize their operations to reduce their impact on the planet. We take a systematic approach to help you reduce your carbon footprint across your entire IT ecosystem.
To fully understand the carbon footprint of your IT infrastructure, you need to consider all the elements of its ecosystem

Our six pillars of decarbonization
Our data-driven approach can help you lower greenhouse emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 driven by your IT infrastructure. We have defined six pillars to help you decarbonize your operations across your whole IT ecosystem:
Power supply and equipment
We assess your energy needs, goals, and infrastructure to identify opportunities such as renewable sourcing and integration, battery energy storage, power management, transformers, sub-panels, power quality, and more.
IT Infrastructure
Through in-depth analysis of your facility and IT assets, we provide data driven insights to help reduce the emissions across your network, storage, and server assets, and overall facility.
Applications
Each application has a different carbon footprint. With our expert analysis and recommendations, you can reduce your CO2 footprint across production and usage, regardless of where your application is hosted.
Architecture and engineering
Through application suite rationalization and app architecture optimisation, we identify means to reduce carbon footprint, while maintaining or improving reliability and cost of the applications.
Cloud strategy
We can recommend a cloud strategy to improve your energy efficiency, and help you reduce your Scope 3 emissions generated by cloud providers.
Data stewardship
By examining your data practices and policies we can recommend sustainable options and give you the tools to lower your carbon footprint without compromising your operations.
