Carbon Footprint
Data centers contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. A single large-scale facility can consume as much electricity annually as 350,000 to 400,000 electric vehicles.
Water Consumption
Data centers use vast quantities of water for cooling. In 2021, Google's global data centers consumed approximately 16.2 billion liters of water.
Fastest Growing Waste Stream
Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing solid waste streams in the world. A record 62 million tonnes of e-waste were produced in 2022, and this is projected to rise to 82 million tonnes by 2030.
Toxic Materials
E-waste contains hazardous substances like lead and mercury. When not properly disposed of, these toxins can leak into the environment, posing significant health risks, especially to workers and communities in developing countries.
The green technology and sustainability market is a rapidly growing industry, valued at over $17 billion in 2023 and projected to reach over $105 billion by 2032.
Why It’s the Need of the Hour?
The technology sector, long celebrated as innovation's pinnacle, conceals a staggering environmental cost — energy-intensive data centers and an ever-expanding mountain of e-waste. The relentless pursuit of the next breakthrough perpetuates a linear cycle of creation and disposal, depleting finite resources at an alarming pace. This transcends environmental concern; it's a defining challenge in corporate responsibility, demanding visionary leadership and precision at the highest level.
Because in technology, innovation without responsibility is no longer progress. Our 360° Environmental Footprint uncovers your true impact — from data center power to hardware waste — while our Green Strategy Roadmap turns insight into measurable action, positioning your brand as a pioneer in both performance and sustainability.
