Our Carbon Reduction Plan.

We are currently agreeing the specific target for this fiscal year and the plan to achieve it.

Direct GHG Emissions.

Monitoring

  • UBDS Digital is a Digital Transformation services organisation with no direct GHG emissions except for company vehicles.
  • All UBDS Digital vehicles are electric vehicles and employees track the CO2 impact via Carbon Footprint Calculator and report back monthly.

Reduction

  • UBDS Digital vehicle holders are encouraged to use a renewable energy provider for charging vehicles at home. Vehicles are only provided by exception.

Indirect GHG Emissions.

Monitoring

  • UBDS Digital utilises the Carbon Footprint Calculator to calculate the volume of indirect emissions produced.

Reduction

  • UBDS Digital has implemented a Hybrid Workforce policy that reduces GHG emissions from the Workplace by 35% and reduces overall emissions by 2% (accounting for employee dwellings).
  • UBDS Digital encourages employees and suppliers to switch energy providers to renewable energy sources where available.

Value Chain GHG Emissions

Monitoring

  • UBDS Digital tracks its value chain where possible using the Carbon Footprint Calculator. However, we recognise this is a small proportion of the Public and Private Datacentre usage for the services we implement.
  • Where Datacentres remain in operations for our clients we recommend the use of the Microsoft Sustainability Calculator. You can read more about this initiative here.
  • We support our clients in assessing Public Cloud Providers carbon footprint and selecting an appropriate provider that will contribute to their GHG reduction targets.

Reduction

  • UBDS Digital's services primarily utilise Cloud technology and we support organisations in migrating from their datacentres to Cloud. This enables them to exit their Datacentres, which are responsible for 1% of global energy consumption. Migrating to Cloud can reduce the total IT GHG by 6% (which varies greatly depending on the IT estate).
  • Hyperscale Cloud Datacentres can achieve an 98% increase in energy efficiency compared to on-premise datacentres. However, this is also impacted by the architecture implemented in the target Cloud provider.
  • We support our clients with energy efficient cloud architectures, for example by right-sizing cloud resources and services which are utilised only on-demand through automated spin-up and spin-down.
