IT Sustainability Think Tank: How CIOs Can Navigate The Green IT Landscape
ComputerWeekly, Tuesday, May 14th, 2024
CIOs and IT leaders must take action now to ensure they have an accurate overview of the carbon emissions, energy use and sustainability of their organisation's overall activities. But how should they go about this?
Regulations in place or pending require that all companies report their Scope 1-to-3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and to achieve that organisations can adopt an approach based on the following broad avenues: data collection, measurement standards and data analytics.
Data collection
How data is collected will depend on what hosting options are employed. Typically, enterprises have applications hosted in both on-premise datacentres and in hyperscale cloud facilities - and these environments have very different reporting demands.
