Tune in to the next ICTFOOTPRINT.eu’s webinar on “Calculation Tools & ICT Insights on energy saving” to inject a green change to your ICT company – 23rd February at 15:00 CET

The urgency for European ICT companies to take a leading role in energy efficiency is now compelling more than ever. Despite the lack of misinformation, the ICT field is not a synonym of “green”: in fact, ICTs account for 8-10% of the European electricity consumption and up to 4% of its carbon emissions (for instance, it is estimated that a single email accounts for 4g of CO2e issued while an email with attachment accounts for 50g of CO2). Becoming more sustainable, reducing climate impact and achieving competitive advantages -such as costs reduction- is a compulsory turning point.
 
Nonetheless, it is reckoned that most of the 10,000,000 ICT-intensive SMEs across Europe simply lack the basic knowledge or awareness to address the problem. How can an ICT company become more sustainable you ask? Well, thanks to the ever-increasing awareness there is a wide range of options available & this is exactly where ICTFOOTPRINT.eu comes into play. 
By actively engaging with leading-edge researchers, Industries, SDOs (Standards Development Organisations), policy makers and innovators, ICTFOOTPRINT.eu has captured the market’s needs and filled the gap offering a simple on-line Self-Assessment Tool for Services, branded SAT-S, which helps you calculate the carbon footprint of ICT your products and services. 
 
ICTFOOTPRINT's webinar
The ICTFOOTPRINT.eu webinar on “Calculation Tools & ICT Insights on energy saving” can teach you more about relevant tools on this: 
3 prominent speakers will provide precious advice and crucial information to the attendants: 
  • Thomas Corvaisier (CEO of GREENSPECTOR) will introduce the concept of software eco-design, and tell us how it may help lowering the consumption of IT resources while preserving performance and user experience
  • Frédéric Croisson, from Deloitte Sustainability, will showcase the ICTFOOTPRINT.eu Self-Assessment Tool for Services (SAT-S), a useful, quick and easy-to-use tool that calculates the carbon footprint of your ICT services
  • Karen Robinson will share some sustainable ICT practices and introduce the save@work initiative, which encourages public sector employees to reduce the energy consumption of their building by making small changes to their everyday energy consuming behaviours. 
 
The webinar will be moderated by Silvana Muscella (Project Coordinator of ICTFOOTPRINT.eu and CEO of Trust-IT Services), who has over 20 years’ experience in stimulating topics in the ICT sector. In recent years, her drive has been in getting her team to turn its expertise into developing useful ICT tools and services for smaller companies, like Trust-IT, in the areas for ICT for energy efficiency, cloud procurement, cybersecurity and providing online tools for making cloud computing easier for novices especially.
