Technology Carbon Standard
Leverage our Technology Carbon Standard to map and measure your tech carbon footprint and tackle priority areas for impact reduction.
Scott Logic’s Technology Carbon Standard (TCS) provides an approach that enables consistent analysis and benchmarking of organisations’ technology carbon footprints. It is recommended by the UK Government in the GDS Service Manual.
Assess and mitigate your tech carbon footprint
Support your organisation’s strategic sustainability goals, drive cost savings, and achieve greater operational efficiency by reducing your carbon footprint.
We work with you to map and measure your organisation’s carbon impacts across the breadth of your technology estate. Based on this, we make recommendations for mitigations and can support the follow-up work to address priority areas.
Map
We rapidly and comprehensively identify the software, hardware and other technologies within your technology estate and map them into the TCS categories for upstream, operational and downstream emissions.
Measure
We use emissions data shared by manufacturers and suppliers in combination with trusted and transparent open-source methodologies to provide a robust measure of your tech carbon footprint.
Mitigate
We derive actionable insights from the data we gather to provide you with prioritised recommendations for mitigating actions, and we can support you in tackling the work required to reduce your carbon impacts.
How it works
Scott Logic’s Technology Carbon Standard provides a structured framework for measuring and managing an organisation’s carbon emissions in a way that provides both a holistic overview and granular insights. By mapping your technology estate into categories analogous to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol scopes, we help you identify the most carbon-intensive areas to prioritise for impact reduction.
