In this one-hour event, Pau&Company presented the IT Environmental Impact Audit service and held a lively and instructive conversation in which the following topics were mentioned:
- how to estimate how much energy an organisation should be using.
- what are the factors that we need to measure when assessing the Environmental Impact of IT infrastructure.
- how to measure Environmental Impact of using and developing AI.
- in Web environments, differences between measuring energy consumption of loading a page vs of completing a transaction online.
- emissions and waste in Cloud environments vs in on-premise infrastructure and why some organisations are going back to hosting locally.
- how Cloud hyperscalers (mainly Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)) report emissions and how Greenwashing damages the planet.
- role of Science-based Targets and reporting frameworks aligned with the Paris Agreement.
I really appreciate the input from attendees and I hope we can continue the conversation in the future. If you are interested in these topics, feel free to drop me a line.
