Digital service climate impact audit
Let's find out together the energy efficiency of your digital service and identify the key areas for improvement.
What does the carbon footprint of a digital service consist of?
The carbon footprint of the ICT sector is made up of the combined usage of various internet services. By reducing the carbon footprint of individual digital services, we can impact the overall carbon footprint of the ICT sector. Through the auditing of the climate impact of digital services, you will discover the energy efficiency of your own digital service, as well as ideas on how to develop the service in a more sustainable direction.
Benefits of climate impact auditing

- It contains only the most essential information for users, and the user paths are efficient
"The workshop was an excellent kickstart for identifying the carbon footprint of our digital services. During the workshop, we created a preliminary list of actions we could take to better reduce our carbon footprint."
