Training
Who Are You?
The best approach to training depends on who you are and what you want to achieve. We provide:
a range of courses and sessions for individuals who want to learn how to be effective at cutting emissions from IT systems
workshops for teams that want to reduce emissions from their IT systems while still meeting other business needs
programs of education for organisations who want to reduce their IT emissions without impacting revenue or growth. In fact, whilst accelerating them
For ESG Professionals
Are you an ESG analyst, CSO (Chief Sustainability Officer) or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager? For digital companies, your IT systems might be your largest contributor to your company's carbon emissions.
Unfortunately, knowledge of this in IT teams and understanding of the ways to handle it are often poor. Therefore, ESG projects often stall at the IT department. This doesn't have to be the case.
We offer training to ESG professionals on how to work effectively with IT teams to unblock ESG initiatives. We also provide fun and inspiring workshops for those IT teams to better understand the changes that need to be made and get things moving.
For Consultants, Engineers, Managers & PMs who care about the climate
Are you a manager, engineer, product manager or consultant who wants to ramp up your skills in green technology and leverage the power you have as part of the tech sector? Maybe you want to accelerate the transition to zero carbon energy in your company?
We provide in-depth training with groups of like-minded individuals, both public and private.

Power Down!
In this seminar attendees will learn how to cut CO2 emissions and hosting costs by eliminating waste.
You'll learn how and when to safely use cost as a proxy for carbon emissions.
Code and operational efficiency are a key part of the energy transition, but they are dangerous.
You'll learn which will save money and help save the planet and which might put your company out of business.
Measure IT!
In this seminar attendees will learn how to measure a system's CO2 emissions and use the data in an effective way.
We will cover measuring CO2 directly and via different proxies and the pros and cons of each.
We'll also ask, should you measure? What are you trying to achieve? (hint - it's not as obvious as you think)
We'll talk about tools and services that can help and ones that might make your life more difficult if you haven't clearly defined your goals beforehand.
Power UP!
In this seminar attendees will learn about the positive characteristics of renewable power that will shape the future of systems, and how to benefit from them.
We'll cover how to design systems to take advantage of renewable power.
If you do it in a renewably friendly (aka green) way, hosting will get much cheaper and let you achieve far more.
Modernize!
In this session, attendees will learn how to leverage going green to accelerate internal modernization projects.
We cover why green software is so closely aligned with system modernization techniques like using microservices, building distributed systems, deploying smaller and faster, and using test methods like chaos engineering to drive greater resilience.
Don't let a (climate) crisis go to waste. Use it as the motivation to modernize your systems.
