Examples of Carbon Footprints
on computer equipment
TechSolutions specializes in technology solutions for businesses. The company's IT infrastructure is essential to its operations, but it also has an impact on the environment and cybersecurity.
Scope 1
Direct greenhouse gas emissions
- TechSolutions' direct greenhouse gas emissions are mainly linked to energy consumption on its premises, notably to power servers, network equipment and workstations.
- The use of internal servers contributes significantly to these emissions, due to their high power consumption.
scope 2
Indirect greenhouse gas emissions
- TechSolutions' indirect greenhouse gas emissions are mainly linked to the electricity consumption required to run its IT equipment.
- The company may consider switching to renewable energy sources to reduce its carbon footprint in this area.
scope 3
Indirect non-energy emissions
- TechSolutions' indirect emissions in this area are mainly linked to the manufacture and end-of-life management of its IT equipment.
- The company could reduce its carbon footprint by adopting a circularity approach, promoting the recycling and reuse of obsolete equipment.
Bilan Carbone analysis
IT security is crucial for TechSolutions, but it can also affect its carbon footprint. It is therefore important to analyze the security impacts of GHG reduction measures. For example, cutting off access to certain servers to limit their environmental impact could also affect backups and threaten business continuity plans. Server virtualization or the use of low-power servers could reduce emissions without compromising security, impacting scope 1. To reduce scope 2, choosing low-energy devices limits the impact without compromising security. Finally, giving preference to reconditioned appliances reduces the carbon footprint of scope 3.
IT assets influence a company's carbon footprint across all three scopes. By optimizing energy efficiency, adopting sustainable practices and strengthening cybersecurity, a company can reduce its environmental impact while guaranteeing the security of its systems.
