We have developed the pioneering Data Carbon Ladder, a framework that enables the assessment of the carbon footprint of data throughout its lifecycle, from origin to end-user utilization. The accompanying heatmap works in conjunction with the Data Carbon Scorecard, enhancing our ability to measure and manage the environmental impact of data.
A heatmap presents all scores in a traffic light display showing data CO2 ranking per line and across lines for benchmarking CO2 performance and to direct action.
