KA2 Insight: Building an Effective IT Carbon Baseline

A practical guide to understanding the environmental impact of your technology estate and using that information to make better decisions.

You cannot demonstrate improvement without understanding where you are starting from.

An effective IT carbon baseline gives your organisation a clearer picture of the environmental impact associated with its technology estate. But building a useful baseline is about more than calculating a carbon number.

You need to understand what technology you have, identify the carbon information available, recognise gaps and assumptions, and connect that insight with practical decisions around procurement, asset lifecycles, cost, risk and sustainability.

Our latest KA2 Insight Guide, Building an Effective IT Carbon Baseline, provides a practical framework to help SMEs establish a meaningful starting point and improve it over time

Inside the Guide, discover how to:

• Define the purpose and scope of your IT carbon baseline
• Understand the IT asset information you need
• Consider both operational energy and wider technology lifecycle emissions
• Work effectively with estimates, assumptions and data gaps
• Turn carbon information into better operational, financial and environmental decisions
• Establish governance and continually improve your baseline
• Assess your current position using our practical IT Carbon Baseline Checklist

You don’t need perfect data to start. You need enough understanding to establish where you are today and a process for improving over time.

Understand your IT. Manage it better.
