Practitioner perspectives on Sustainable IT, Sustainable AI, BRSR, ESG, and the intersection of technology and environmental responsibility. Published across leading platforms.
In a two-part series, Dr. Niladri Choudhuri examines how AI-driven data centres are transforming the global energy landscape — consuming 200 TWh of electricity annually and drawing unprecedented quantities of water. The piece explores the root causes, the scale of the problem, and the green alternatives organisations can adopt today.
Every organisation adopting AI is creating a new, largely invisible emissions source. Boards, CIOs and sustainability officers urgently need a framework for measuring, disclosing and reducing the environmental cost of their AI investments — before regulators mandate it.
Deloitte's latest research highlights a fundamental gap: most boards lack the sustainability literacy to challenge management's ESG narratives. Dr. Choudhuri examines what board-level sustainability governance actually requires — and what it costs when it's absent.
Scope 3 emissions — including those embedded in software licences, cloud services, and hardware supply chains — are increasingly required under BRSR, CSRD, and investor disclosure frameworks. Here's a practical approach to getting started.
The follow-up to the viral ESGNews.earth series — moving from diagnosis to solution. What does a genuinely sustainable AI infrastructure look like? From renewable-powered data centres to model efficiency practices, here are the levers organisations can pull.
Environmental impact should not be an afterthought in product development — it must be embedded from the first line of code. This article makes the business and ethical case for sustainability-first design in software and digital services.
One computer running for a year generates enough carbon that 300 trees are needed to offset it. This article unpacks the maths, what it means for organisations at scale, and the urgency of building IT operations that acknowledge this reality.
Sustainability assurance is becoming as fundamental as financial audit. As auditors expand from financial to environmental risk, boards and management must be prepared. This piece examines what sustainability assurance requires and why it cannot wait.
Based on Dr. Choudhuri's keynote at the Sustainable Engineering Council — a comprehensive overview of the business value of Sustainable IT, the key practice dimensions, and a practical first-step framework for organisations at any stage of maturity.
LCA is moving from the domain of product manufacturers into the mainstream of digital business — driven by CSRD, the EU Green Deal, and procurement requirements. This primer explains what LCA means for software companies, cloud providers, and IT service firms.
