The tech industry, particularly the SaaS sector, is pivotal in humanity’s quest for climate action. While SaaS solutions are often at the forefront of driving a low-carbon economy, the industry’s expanding digital footprint poses significant environmental challenges. From the surging demand for data storage to the global increase in electrification, it’s essential for tech companies to adopt a strategy of sustainable growth. Going beyond mere compliance, sustainable practices can offer tech firms numerous competitive advantages, from reduced operational costs to enhanced client and talent attraction through strong, eco-conscious branding.
Tech companies, especially in the SaaS realm, often grapple with substantial carbon footprints due to their intensive electricity use. This encompasses everything from office emissions to the energy demands of data centres. Transitioning to renewable energy sources, whether through external suppliers or on-site renewable capacity, is key in shifting towards a low-carbon business model.

Our carbon footprinting and reduction strategies are meticulously designed to comply with the UK Government’s carbon reporting technical standard and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
