GreenTech SW - Digital Carbon Footprints
By Green Tech South West
UnlistedWe're delighted to invite Liam Snelling, co-founder and MD at Digital Detox, to share his ideas on "How to talk to your clients about their digital carbon footprint".
Q. What is a digital carbon footprint?
A. The transmission of data via the internet can be very polluting, contributing to 4% of our global greenhouse gas emissions. So every time we use the internet or social media, a small amount of carbon is being emitted. Every single search query, every downloaded document, every streamed song or video and every email sent, billions of times over all around the world, all adds up to an ever-increasing global demand for electricity, and to rising CO2 emissions too. Our increasing reliance on digital tools has an environmental impact that's becoming increasingly harder to ignore.
Using experiences of working with Vodafone's Customer Products and Services team to explore their digital carbon footprint, Liam will talk through a 5 step process to create awareness, facilitate conversations and ultimately help your clients make inroads into understanding and reducing their digital carbon footprints.
Liam manages a humanity-led design and development agency focused on building core technology to deliver digital empowerment, specialising in web and apps. With over 15 years of experience helping organisations achieve their business goals in both the public and private sector, he is now leading on reducing the carbon footprint of digital through awareness, training and recommendations to the industry.
