CarbonNow
Your journey to net-zero
Our CarbonNow accelerator measures the carbon emissions from your technology estate, enabling your journey to net-zero. We work with you to set an annual reduction ambition in line with science-based targets and government policy. Using our CarbonNow application to produce all the calculations in a consistent manner, we then calculate your annual emissions, and we provide a trajectory to net-zero all within an easy to navigate dashboard. We identify the key initiatives that you require to implement a net-zero reduction plan. We then help you set up this plan and manage the portfolio to reach the emission reductions required.
The digital pollution problem
IT accounts for 2.5% of global emissions, and it is increasing as much as 15% per year. Organisations in the UK are now required to set a Net-zero Target of 68% by 2030, which translates to a reduction of 10% every year for the next 10 years. The regulatory pressure, increasing environmental awareness of customers and higher public expectations reflect an urgent need for organisations to transition into net-zero. Armed with the capabilities within CarbonNow, Deloitte can help organisations to decarbonise their IT estate, operations and supply chain.
CIOs continue to address three common challenges when trying to align to organisations’ net-zero goal:
- Lack of a plan and roadmap to start reducing carbon emissions from their IT Estate
- Poor, non-granular emissions data that impedes the ability to confidently make operational decisions
- Dispersed and disconnected data that is difficult to analyse, with gaps in operational level data that leads to an incomplete view of IT carbon emission
Deloitte provides a full Net Zero Service that removes these barriers and quickly gets your technology organisation on the right path to achieve net zero.
Our solution
The CarbonNow application can provide data visibility to CIOs in decarbonising their IT estate, operations and supply chain by:
- Integrating multiple data: Setting a baseline through a single view of carbon emissions and budget insights to help CIOs manage within their carbon budget
- Prioritising carbon improvement: Pinpointing the least efficient areas and top performers to gain clarity on what can be done
- Tracking reduction initiatives: Providing a benchmark to enable tracking of carbon reduction initiatives against science-based targets
Whilst CarbonNow enables organisations to solve their most urgent data barrier to achieving a net-zero target, Deloitte recognises that net-zero is also a massive organisational transformation. We can provide follow-on consulting services from strategy to implementation, led by deep sustainability expertise, to help organisations successfully transition to net-zero.
