Measure your organisation’s I.T. related carbon footprint with Px3 and start your journey towards a more sustainable future

‘Together we can reduce IT related GHG emissions by as much as 70%’

Px3 – Great I.T. can be Green I.T.

An award-winning IT sustainability consultancy with an international customer base, Px3 works with information technology manufacturers, public sector organisations and businesses across the globe to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by IT manufacturing, business use and end of life treatment.

Designed to reduce the world’s digital carbon footprint, a human behaviour now responsible for over 2% of annual global GHG emissions, our empirical scientific research and unique  services enable organisations to realise and achieve IT sustainability strategies.

Contributing to net zero strategies, corporate and social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies, Px3 will enable your organisation to ensure that your great IT can also be green IT.

Significantly reducing scope 2 (electricity consumption) and scope 3 (supply chain & commuting to access IT) emissions, your organisation will, through the realisation and diffusion of sustainable IT, drive climate action that satisfies international legislation and most importantly, reduces the environmental impact caused by the way we work today.

Why not contact Px3 today to begin your climate action with sustainable IT?

 

Px3 – Our Services

Our unique and scientifically validated methodologies, frameworks and applications enable 5 key Px3 sustainable IT consulting services:

  1. IT Carbon Footprint profiling and quantification for commercial, public sector and not for profit organisations wishing to reduce the environmental impact of IT operations including end user computing, data centres and remote working to reduce commuting to access IT (CAIT)
  2. Sustainable IT Strategy Planning based upon the results of the IT carbon footprint profiling service to design and deliver IT related climate action backed by science based targets and compliant with international procurement, use and reporting legislation
  3. Sustainable IT Assessment Tool for IT and Procurement Teams enabling those responsible for IT device selection to assess and compare devices such as laptops and desktop computers for sustainability criteria before purchase
  4. Computer Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) designed for global technology manufacturers to scientifically validate computer product impact upon the environment and energy efficiency in the workplace
  5. IT Related GHG Emissions Smart App designed to enable you to visualise your IT related GHG emissions and track your progress against abatement, environmental goals and KPIs from anywhere on the planet

All sustainable IT consulting services are available directly from Px3, through our partners or via the HM Government Crown Commercial Services Spark DPS Framework (RM6094)

PX3 – See the Good for the Trees

Our customers include many of the world’s largest technology companies, including Acer, Alphabet (Google), Citrix, IGEL and Prime Computer. Examples of our work include Acer’s Green Rewards portal and Google’s Chrome OS sustainability resources site both delivered by Px3 empirical research and designed to promote low energy laptop and desktop adoption plus the extension of device useful life spans. The Citrix customer focused IT sustainability strategy designed to promote IT impact abatement via environmentally positive remote working strategies.  Plus IGEL and Prime Computer product life cycle assessment research and associated sustainability strategies highlighting GHG abatement delivered by low carbon footprint devices.

Px3 also provides IT sustainability services across a wide variety of organisations from central government and universities to local authorities, large national charities, international manufacturing, retail, pharmaceutical and financial sectors.

In fact, Px3 has quantified the digital carbon footprint of over 1,000,000 business computer users to date. The resulting sustainable IT strategies have already reduced IT related GHG emissions by 5,500,000 kgCO2e. In context, this is equivalent to avoiding emissions caused by 19.7 million car miles. This means that the capacity of 6,500 acres of mature forest otherwise required to remove this pollution from our atmosphere by photosynthesis has been relieved.

As such, our mission is to realise the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by responding to UNEP’s call to combine existing technology with innovation to drive behavioural changes capable of reducing societal emissions. Specifically, for every customer we engage with, our mission to remove the equivalent GHG impact of driving 100,000 cars every year from our atmosphere by 2050 via the diffusion of sustainable IT, is closer to becoming a reality.

A task that would otherwise require the sequestering capacity of almost 252,000 mature forest acres.

Climate Change & IT

Combined IT and commuting creates over 2.7bn tCO2e greenhouse gas emissions. To remove this level of pollution from our atmosphere requires a forest the size of Canada and Greenland combined. GHG emissions are driving global warming and accelerating climate change. Unless we collectively act to reduce our pollution at every opportunity, humankind will have exhausted global carbon budgets by 2056. Doing so will cause temperature increases of almost 3C by the end of the century. This will result in catastrophic climate impacts and sea level rises of 77cm. Why not be the change and start your journey to sustainability now?
