Becoming carbon-neutral isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ It’s a strategic imperative and it is becoming increasingly important!

This article describes our journey and explains what you can do. It is easier, more cost-effective, and more beneficial than you think

For the last accounting year 2022-23 we contributed to two different United Nations sponsored projects in India.

However the total number of carbon equivalents was still three times our actual calculated footprint of 160 tons.

Green-IT

Green IT is a term which covers how IT can reduce its environmental impact. IT likely stands for more greenhouse gases than air travel and will likely increase its environmental footprint.

This article gives a background to how the IT sector affects the environment and it also suggests ways we all can reduce our environmental footprint.

For the last accounting year 2021-22 we contributed to three different United Nations sponsored projects in India.

However the total number of carbon equivalents was still three times our actual footprint of 76 tons. The carbon footprint was low due to the pandemic.

Offset carbon footprint

We have compensated three times our actual carbon footprint on three different projects. This is for the accounting year 1/4/2020-31/3/2021. Our carbon footprint for last year was only 96 tons. This was mainly due to the pandemic.

Here are the certificates!

Offsetting carbon footprint

We have compensated three times our actual carbon footprint to three projects. This is for the accounting year 1/4/2019-31/3/2020. Our carbon footprint was 125 tons.

Here are the certificates!

Offsetting carbon footprint

We are carbon-neutral! We use a combination of solar panels, energy efficiency and offsetting the rest via credits such as trees, wind and hydropower!

We invested in solar panels in 2013. Since then we extended the plant, replaced light tubes with LED, and changed our old ACs to more efficient ACs.

Everyone speaks about the environment! At Gislen Software, we are serious about reducing our business’s effect on the environment. We started reducing our footprint many years back. In the last six months, we have replaced all light tubes with LED. We have replaced our ineffective air conditioners and bought new effective ones with the lowest […]

Carbon-Neutral

We have just invested in solar panels on our roof! Power failures and power cuts are unusual in Western countries. Unfortunately, we have had more than our fair share in the last few years due to the electricity shortage. Keeping computers running is relatively easy with UPS and batteries, but running the air conditioning is […]
