Our team has designed an award winning unique tool, called the “Data Carbon Ladder,” which can assist with new data projects. This tool helps you determine the appropriate size of the dataset(s) required, the optimal frequency for updates, the most suitable storage location, and the analytics necessary for your project.
Moreover, the Data Carbon Ladder can provide you with an estimated data CO2 footprint for your project, highlighting any areas where improvements can be made to minimize environmental impact. By identifying potential inefficiencies in the data project, we can work towards creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution.
This tool is especially crucial as businesses and organizations worldwide are increasingly concerned with reducing their CO2 footprint and becoming more environmentally conscious. The Data Carbon Ladder can help companies make data-driven decisions that not only enhance their bottom line but also align with their sustainability goals.

In conclusion, the Data Carbon Ladder is an innovative tool that can help businesses and organizations improve their data projects’ sustainability by reducing their environmental impact and creating a more efficient and sustainable solution.
The Data Carbon Ladder framework has now been published and can be accessed from the Journal of Knowledge Management Research and Practice. It contains a number of calculations for each step of the ladder which will required data from your own company / data provider (as these change over time). The published ladder provides an example of worst case data input for each calculation.
A list of the calculations can be found on our site via The Figures page.
