Sustainable IT Reports & Consulting

The EUC Device Baseline Report calculates the carbon footprint, e-waste, electricity consumption and utility costs for your organisation's smartphones, tablets, notebooks, desktops, AIO, thin clients, workstations, monitors and displays.  The 10 page report includes a) an executive summary including summary environmental and cost results plus analogous comparisons such as equivalent car emissions and the number of trees required to sequester the annual IT carbon footprint, b) asset profile  showing what types and how many EUC devices your company owns including environmental impact categorisation, average carbon footprint by product type, plus percentage contribution to GHG emissions, c) highest and lowest impact by device type and low carbon alternative comparisons, d) carbon footprint contribution by type and by supply chain and use phase GHG emissions, e) energy consumption and cost by type and f) and e-waste by type. Caters for multiple locations of use spanning 150+ countries to ensure electricity carbon intensity is exact. Includes use phase representation by business business type. Scientifically validated and appropriate for GHG accounting and company annual reports. Perfect to act as a foundation for sustainability strategy planning.

The EUC Device Sustainable IT Strategy Report applies 6 sustainable IT strategies to the results of your EUC Device Baseline Report (see above). Scientifically validated, the report uses world leading calculation tools designed by Dr Justin to determine potential reductions in environmental impact (carbon footprint, electricity consumption and e-waste) plus economic impact (procurement and utility costs) achieved by each proposed strategy. This enables your stakeholders to understand which strategies are best for your organisation. Strategies include device lifespan extension, low carbon footprint device selection an 100% mobility options. Location specific for over 150 countries and regions to ensure accuracy. Perfect for sustainable IT strategy modelling.

Invented by sustainable IT expert Dr Justin, the EUC Device Carbon Footprint Comparison App enables businesses to compare computing devices such as notebooks, tablets, desktops and monitors by carbon footprint, energy efficiency and eco-label certification as part of sustainable IT design or procurement strategies. 

Comparing end user computing devices by carbon footprint before purchasing can reduce IT carbon footprint greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by as much as 82%. 

The application is unique because it deconstructs manufacturer product carbon footprint reports and re-calculates based upon bespoke contextual information input by the user. This includes where the device will most likely be used and how long they will be kept for. This enables accurate energy consumption emissions data to be generated and applied to the total carbon footprint. No other application is scientifically validated or capable of this function.

Perfect for organisations wanting to reduce ICT carbon footprint and utility costs or to create and respond to tenders that include sustainability criteria.

Why use this application? Manufacturer computer carbon footprint reports are not comparable as each brand uses different calculation methods to produce GHG emissions results.  The Compare application harmonises product carbon footprint data to enable you to confidently compare the carbon footprint of end user computing devices from leading brands such as Acer, Apple, ASUS, Circular Computing, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and more.

Outcome: Doing so will enable you to quickly and confidently select low carbon footprint devices that will reduce organisation’s IT carbon footprint and achieve compliance with new sustainable IT product procurement and use legislation and policies.

Functions:

• View thousands of new, refurbished and remanufactured computers ranked by carbon footprint, scope 2 (electricity) or scope 3 (supply chain) GHG emissions
• Filter by product type (e.g. notebook, desktop, monitor etc.)
• Filter by brand (e.g. Acer, ASUS, Circular Computing, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft etc.)
• Set your company / department / organisation location to ensure scope 2 electricity GHG emissions are relevant to your IT policies (e.g. by country, region or worldwide)
• Set the number of years your organisation will potentially keep the device to ensure scope 3 supply chain GHG emissions are relevant to your IT policies
• Search for key words (e.g. screen size, model name, model number etc.)
• Compare several devices side by side to narrow your search
• Generate and download/share a bespoke product carbon footprint reports based on where your company is located and for how many years you intend to keep the device

Credibility: The Compare application is the only scientifically validated tool in the world that can enable you to validly compare end user computing devices. Developed by Dr Justin Sutton-Parker during PhD research with one of the world’s leading computer science faculties at the University of Warwick, the application is already used by commercial and public sector organisations responsible for millions of devices.

What do you receive? After purchase you will be directed to register and login to the Compare application online. The subscription fee is for 12 months access for one user from date of purchase.  Subscription will automatically renew after 12 months unless otherwise notified. The license is not transferrable between organisations or users unless agreed in advance. 

Today, many cloud service providers such as AWS, Google and Microsoft offer dashboards that define the carbon footprint of the cloud services your organisation consumes. However, when deciding to migrate data centre operations to the cloud, organisations often wish to determine the carbon footprint of their existing on / off premises data centres. By doing so they can determine environmental and cost improvements delivered by moving to cloud services. 

The On / Off Data Centre Baseline Report calculates the carbon footprint, e-waste, electricity consumption and utility costs for your organisation's data centre (s). The 10 page report includes a) an executive summary including summary environmental and cost results plus analogous comparisons such as equivalent car emissions and the number of trees required to sequester the annual IT carbon footprint, b) asset profile  showing what types and how many data centre devices your company owns including environmental impact, average carbon footprint by product type (e.g. server, storage, networking, plus percentage contribution to GHG emissions, c) highest and lowest impact by device type and low carbon alternative comparisons, d) carbon footprint contribution by type and by supply chain and use phase GHG emissions, e) energy consumption and cost by type and f) and e-waste by type. Caters for multiple locations of data centre spanning 150+ countries to ensure electricity carbon intensity is exact. The report cost is for one data centre although multiple data centres can be catered for. Scientifically validated and appropriate for GHG accounting and company annual reports. Perfect to act as a foundation for sustainability strategy planning.

Research shows that enabling hybrid working strategies with IT solutions such as desktop as a service (DaaS) reduces employee commuting GHG emissions. This report is designed to show the potential carbon footprint reductions that can delivered by incremental levels of hybrid working. The Employee Commuting Baseline Report shows how different percentages of employee uptake and different amounts of days spent hybrid working will reduce commuting GHG emissions.

The report also indicates additional environmental and financial reductions that are delivered by secure hybrid working solutions such as DaaS or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). This includes EUC device extended lifespans enabled by desktop compute and storage operations shifting to the data centre. Plus bring your own device (BYOD) that are enhanced with improved desktop security.
