ESG Management for Technology
Track data centre emissions, manage digital supply chains, and build responsible technology practices that stakeholders trust.
Technology companies face growing ESG scrutiny across their value chain: from the energy consumption of data centres and cloud infrastructure, to hardware supply chain ethics, e-waste, workforce diversity, and the societal impact of AI. ESG:ONE helps tech companies measure, manage, and report on the full spectrum of sustainability challenges.
Book a DemoThe Technology ESG Challenge
Technology companies face a unique mix of environmental, social, and governance issues that require specialised measurement approaches and cross-functional collaboration.
Data centre energy consumption is growing rapidly, with complex Scope 2 accounting across owned, co-located, and cloud infrastructure
Cloud emissions measurement is fragmented across providers, regions, and service types with inconsistent reporting methodologies
Hardware supply chains involve critical minerals, conflict-affected areas, and labour practices that require systematic due diligence
E-waste from hardware refresh cycles creates regulatory obligations and reputational risk as circular economy expectations increase
Diversity, equity, and inclusion metrics are under investor and public scrutiny, requiring transparent reporting and measurable progress
Responsible AI governance, algorithmic bias assessment, and ethical technology frameworks are emerging ESG expectations for the sector
Key Benefits
Data Centre Tracking
Monitor energy consumption, PUE, cooling efficiency, and carbon emissions across owned, co-located, and edge data centre facilities.
Cloud Emissions
