To further dive into the announcement of Stibo Systems Sustainability Data Cards yesterday: In this article for Forbes, our CEO Adrian Carr shares how data is key to calculating the true carbon footprint of every step of production, distribution, and sales.

McKinsey's latest report predicts that Europe's data centre power demand will triple by 2030, driven by AI and digitalisation. As energy consumption surges, the pressure is on for providers to optimise efficiency and reduce environmental impact. At ServerChoice, we've been ahead of the curve. Our high-efficiency data centres have always prioritised sustainable energy use, employing technologies like air containment and free-cooling to maintain ultra-low PUEs. We've also made significant strides in utilising 100% renewable energy in select facilities, lowering operational costs for our clients while shrinking our carbon footprint. As the demand for AI workloads increases, only those who invest in energy-efficient infrastructure will be able to meet the challenge sustainably. We’re committed to leading that charge.

I couldn't agree more with the insights shared in this article on the importance of sustainability in manufacturing. It's clear that sustainability is not just a trend but a necessity for all businesses aiming for longevity. Here are my key takeaways: Digitalisation is Essential: It optimises energy consumption, improves product yield, and reduces waste, even for facilities using renewable energy. Start Small: Small companies can begin by automating emissions audits to regularly monitor and manage sustainability efforts. Data is Key: Transparency in data helps identify improvement areas and track progress, leading to more informed and sustainable decisions. Empower Consumers: Sharing digitised information enables consumers to make sustainable choices. These practises set a standard for sustainable manufacturing. Together, we can make a significant difference. #Sustainability #FacilityManagement #DigitalTransformation #Manufacturing https://lnkd.in/gHxWxVaX

👑 The topic of energy conservation, management and life cycle is coming to the forefront of the technology industry specially since the current AI boom. ⚜️ Not because something or someone claims to be Green they actually are; as an example: A lot of people ignore the processes involved in the production and manufacturing of car batteries for electric vehicles ( they stop polluting one way and pollute another). ⚜️ In other words there is a lot of “Greenwashing” going on. ⚜️Of course, this does not mean any effort taken towards a more sustainable future is not important or necessary, we all play a part in the conservation of our planet 🌎. ⚜️ Are you greenwashing ⁉️ Very insightful article ⬇️ #sundaythoughts #greenwashing #sustainability #energycycle #vancouver
