From PUE to workload carbon intensity: numbers that connect engineering choices to disclosure-ready narratives.
Sustainability reporting fails when IT hands facilities a spreadsheet of server counts and calls it done. Boards want to see how application architecture, region choice, and batching policy change the curve, not just whether the datacenter bought offsets.
Start with a small set of ratios: carbon per useful transaction, energy per training run, and percentage of workloads on schedulable batch where time-shifting cuts grid intensity. These tie engineering decisions to numbers investors recognize.
Avoid vanity dashboards that only turn green when someone changes the baseline. Tie targets to product roadmaps so platform teams feel ownership, not blame.
We facilitate small-group sessions for customers and prospects without requiring a slide deck, focused on your stack, constraints, and the decisions you need to make next.
