Revolutionizing the reduction of software carbon footprint

NTT DATA, in collaboration with the Green Software Foundation, guided the development of the international standard ISO/IEC 21031:2024: Information technology – Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification. This groundbreaking standard, spearheaded by NTT DATA's leadership in the foundation, revolutionizes how companies measure and reduce the carbon footprint of software. Embrace a sustainable future in software development with SCI – your tool for a greener planet.

Meaningful change through technology innovation

We're at the forefront of integrating technological innovations to help our clients achieve their sustainability goals. With a clear focus on creating environmentally friendly solutions, we’re paving the way for businesses to operate more sustainably and efficiently.

Green software engineering
We’re a pioneer in promoting green software-engineering practices. As a member of the Green Software Foundation, we advocate for and implement software solutions that are designed to be energy-efficient and have a minimal carbon footprint. This commitment is evident in our adoption of the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) standard. This provides a framework for measuring and reducing the carbon emissions associated with software development and operation. Learn more about our Sustainability Data and Software services.
Smart technologies
We place a big emphasis on the development and implementation of smart technologies. By leveraging IoT, AI and big data, we enable businesses to optimize their energy usage and reduce waste. Our Smart Building solutions, for example, monitor energy consumption in real time, allowing for adjustments that minimize energy waste without compromising operational efficiency. This not only helps organizations reduce their carbon footprint but also leads to significant cost savings.
Sustainable resource management
Our advanced analytics platforms help companies track and analyze their resource usage, from water to raw materials, ensuring resources are used more efficiently and sustainably. This data-driven approach enables better decision-making and can significantly reduce environmental impact.
Logistics solutions
Transportation and logistics are another critical area where we’re enabling sustainability. Through our innovative logistics solutions, we help organizations streamline their supply chains, reducing unnecessary shipments and optimizing delivery routes. This not only cuts down on fuel consumption and emissions but also improves operational efficiency.
Electric vehicle (EV) ecosystems
We’re actively involved in the development of EV ecosystems, supporting the infrastructure and services necessary for the widespread adoption of more sustainable transportation options.
Cloud computing
We’re committed to promoting sustainability through cloud computing. We help reduce the physical resources required for IT infrastructures, such as data centres, which traditionally consume large amounts of energy. Cloud solutions not only provide scalability and flexibility but also feature more energy-efficient data management, reducing the overall environmental impact.
Education and collaboration
We actively work with clients, partners and communities to raise awareness about sustainable practices and develop joint initiatives that promote environmental stewardship. Through workshops, seminars and collaborative projects, we help foster a culture of sustainability that extends beyond our immediate business operations.
