Awards and Accolades
We worked with KA2 to explore management of digital assets across different healthcare providers. KA2’s platform, COzPro supported management of 24000 assets, allocating assets a carbon profile, helping providers to understand the carbon footprint of individual assets and support informed decision-making. Using KA2’s expertise and methodology we were also able to consider the potential impact of digitally enabled healthcare assets – something that has previously not been estimated! The team at KA2 demonstrated their expertise and passion for delivering sustainable IT at every meeting and we were so pleased to collaborate with them.

COzPro has given us an accurate view of the carbon footprint of our organisation's IT assets. Whether it’s a new laptop or an old phone, those which are supplied/leased by vendors, we can view and report on the key data across our IT estate. It allows us to strategically plan how long we keep assets, how we replace them, or whether they should be reused within the business. Whilst we are in the early stages of maturing our CMDB, COzPro ensures informed decisions are made when it comes to the lifecycle of our assets, purchasing and vendor selection.

As part of our recent laptop refresh we engaged with KA2 to review the sustainability of prospective devices. KA2 were able to provide valuable information based on the manufacturer’s own sustainability information as well as the sustainability of device components. This information helped our decision-making process and meant that device and manufacturer sustainability was taken into consideration for this purchase, and not just the usual metrics of cost, device performance and device aesthetics.

Understand Your Workplace IT Carbon Impact: The Simple Facts
The average annual carbon footprint of an individual in the UK is 15 tonnes of CO2e*. Surprisingly, an individual’s workspace, including a laptop, docking station, phone, mouse, keyboard, display, and printer, contributes 500 kg to their annual CO2e emissions. For an organisation with 5000 end users, this amounts to 2500 tonnes of CO2e per year. To put this in perspective, 2500 tonnes of CO2e is equivalent to the emissions from 961 return flights from London to Miami (2.6 tonnes per flight). By understanding your IT-related carbon impact, you can make sustainable technology choices and contribute to a greener planet.
