IT Emission Reporting Document (ITERD)
Technology powers your business. The Information Technology Emission Reporting Document (ITERD) gives you a clear, auditable way to measure, manage, and reduce IT emissions. Take control and lead credible decarbonisation across hardware, data centres, networks, workplace and cloud.
Evaluate. Calculate. Reduce.
ITERD focuses action through one compact loop:
- Evaluate: Map the full IT estate: devices, facilities, connectivity, SaaS, and IaaS. Scope and document assets, owners, locations, and lifespans to create a rigorous, auditable inventory.
- Calculate: Using consistent methods, ITERD quantifies energy use and both operational and lifecycle emissions with clear boundaries, factors, and assumptions.
- Reduce: Turn insight into impact. Extend lifecycles, right-size capacity, retire idle services, optimise workloads, and steer procurement to lower-carbon options.
Operational vs. Lifecycle Emissions
Master impact by seeing both sides of IT carbon. ITERD separates your day-to-day emissions from the emissions embedded in your physical and virtual infrastructure.
- Operational Emissions: The energy that powers servers, cools facilities, and moves data. These respond quickly to efficiency moves: consolidation, power management, workload scheduling, free-air cooling, and clean-energy sourcing.
- Lifecycle Emissions: The embodied carbon across manufacture, transport, use, and disposal. These shift with longer refresh cycles, repairability, reuse, certified refurbishment, lower-carbon materials, and end-of-life recovery.
Complementing Global Standards
ITERD complements the frameworks you already use, adding IT-specific precision without duplicating effort.
- GHG Protocol: Supplies high-resolution data that maps cleanly to scopes and categories (including Scope 2 market- and location-based views), deepening inventories and making hotspots visible.
- CSRD and Corporate Reporting: Translates technical detail into material disclosures, metrics, and audit-ready evidence with traceability back to assets and suppliers, supporting quarterly and annual cycles.
Commitment to Action
ITERD is built for measurable reduction, not box-ticking. Concise, auditable, and action-oriented.
