Technology Carbon Standard (Proposed)
-
+
A proposed Technology Carbon Standard that aims to provide a unified standard for understanding, quantifying, and reducing carbon emissions from an organisation's technology landscape. Outlining a standardised methodology for attributing emissions to different aspects of the tech estate enables organisations to identify priority areas and opportunities to mitigate emissions effectively.

The standard categorises emissions into three key areas:
- - Upstream Emissions: Emissions relating to the production of hardware and the installed software used by the organisation.
+ - Upstream Emissions: Emissions relating to the embodied carbon of hardware and the carbon emissions of the development and distribution of installed software used by the organisation.
- Operational Emissions: Emissions from the day-to-day running of the organisation's IT infrastructure and services. This encompasses emissions from powering devices, data centers, servers, and cloud services.
