    KPMG Sustainable IT Framework

    Sustainable IT solutions that help you reduce your digital carbon emissions

    Sustainable IT strategy: you won’t hit your net zero targets without one

    ICT accounts for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s doubled in the last decade – and it could reach 20% by 2030. It accounts for 35% of total emissions in communications, and 45% in insurance. And while it accounts for just 2% in retail, that’s still 25 megatonnes of CO2 emissions.

    There’s not just an environmental cost. There’s a monetary one too. A fifth (21%) of global electricity consumption will go into making and running IT by 2030. So, a green IT strategy can reduce your spend.

    But today, just 18% of large organisations have a comprehensive sustainable IT strategy. They’re often taking a piecemeal, scattergun approach.

    Do you have a plan? We do – our Sustainable IT Framework.


    5 reasons sustainable IT matters to you

    • Help achieve your net zero targets.
    • Reduce your electricity costs.
    • Improve your talent retention.
    • Mitigate reputational risks to your brand.
    • Comply with new ESG standards and regulations.
