“We now have the data to put a carbon footprint figure against the devices we provide to our staff and students, as well as getting a better understanding of the impact of our refresh cycles. We’ve been able to use the data provided to enhance our understanding of the estate and its sustainability impact.
Strategic partnerships at Imperial are key to delivering change and the partnership with P2zero helps us to ensure that ICT is fully engaged with the sustainability strategy ”

Featured Customer Testimonial - NatWest
“We’ve benefitted from the knowledge of the team at P2zero® over the last few years when taking a deeper dive into the environmental and sustainability considerations of various end-user devices. Historically, looking at industry certifications such as EPEAT Gold and relying on the fact that every generation of device became more power efficient, we didn’t delve much deeper.
With the increased focus on sustainability and carbon reduction, the knowledge and information that P2zero has provided us has taken our understanding to a new level and allows us to make much more informed decisions around vendor and device choices that cover the entire lifecycle of the device from manufacture to recycling.
The team at P2zero are industry leaders in their field and a pleasure to work with.” NatWest

"P2zero gave us valuable insights into the outliers and practices of parts of our hardware estate, of which we were simply not aware.
They also did a careful deep dive with our cloud service providers and provided much-needed steers on industry good practice in the interpretation of usage data. Their analysis and attention to detail is both robust and fiercely objective, even informing the customer the Carbon expenditure of the team who worked with us on the project!
P2zero were a pleasure to work with, and this valuable analysis will enable us to inform and progress the sustainability and environmental agendas at Teesside."

Featured Customer Testimonial - Academia
" Having undertaken a detailed market review of several sustainability consultants Academia engaged the services of Ewen and the team at P2zero to support the Group’s Senior Management Team (SMT) with identifying, categorising and analysing our baseline CO2e emissions, to drive the creation of our inaugural carbon reduction plan.
Ewen’s considerable IT sector knowledge meant he immediately added value to the discussions and quickly completed a data analysis documenting the Group’s current emissions across scopes 1, 2 and 3, including our top-tier supply chain. Subsequently, Ewen worked with our SMT to draw up an action plan with priorities and measurable reduction targets.
As a business who actively strives to align with the sustainability goals of our customers, being able to call on Ewen and P2zero’s expertise has been incredibly beneficial as we continue to grow and diversify our service portfolio.
Academia continues to engage with P2zero regarding several medium and longer-term projects aligned to our sustainability and carbon reduction strategy, focussing on our stated journey to becoming Net Zero by 2030 for scopes 1 and 2 and scope 3 by 2035."
Caroline Ley, Head of Bids & Tenders, Academia.
“The project has empowered us to acquire a depth of understanding that transcends the information typically provided by manufacturers concerning sustainable products. Previously, we were heavily reliant on manufacturers' claims; now, our approach is more proactive and data-driven.” OVO Energy Project Sponsor, James Whitlock, Senior Technology Services Manager
“To manage towards a goal of Net Zero emissions we first needed to understand where we are today. The project provides a starting point for us to now aim to drive down the emissions from the DWP IT infrastructure to meet the Greening Government commitments”.
Tony Sudworth, Sustainability Lead, DWP Digital
“On our journey to zero carbon, we are continuously looking to reduce our emissions in all activity areas. Establishing where our largest impacts were, ahead of this work, has helped inform the digital strategy going forward. Our thanks for assisting us with this important piece of work.” Frank Horn, Sustainability Lead, British Film Institute
"We presented the findings at our last climate emergency meeting. It was the first time we’d had such detailed information about our carbon footprint and it was really good that IT had significantly more information about emissions than any other department and a clear roadmap for the future”. Jason Sam-Fat, ICT Commercial Lead, Kingston & Sutton Councils
"Thank you for the sustainability assessment you carried out with my team here at Lancashire who rated you highly and gave a good account of a very professional engagement. I have personally found it insightful and a great aid to help with some policy formation going forward.”
Glyn Peach, Chief Digital Officer (Director of Digital Services), Lancashire County Council
"In order to identify the company's actual emissions, you need to dig in to the details of your scope 3 contributions, and IT-equipment and electronics are a surprisingly large part of those. The report has really helped us get a more detailed understanding of that data and put it into context."
Kari Anna Fiskvik, Vice President Technology, Strawberry (previously Nordic Choice Hotels)
“The project undertook a carbon footprint assessment of the IT operations of the MoD for Defence Digital in an independent consultancy exercise which covered datacentres, end user computing devices and other ICT equipment such as phones, printers / imaging devices. The report produced identified the GHG emissions and also provided a benchmark against the MoD’s own reporting. “
Grant Morley, MSc MBA Defence Digital, Strategic Command, Directorate Strategy and Military Digitisation-Strategy and Planning-Sustainability Policy
“The project provided an analysis of the GHG emissions from our EUC estate. The information provided has been useful from an operational perspective and will also be helpful as we plan the next phase of our EUC strategy.”
