Compare Your Footprint has the ability to capture third party data centre hosting (i.e. where your servers are not hosted in-house), web and cloud hosting through the hosting company providing kWh. Hosts do provide this information in the best-case scenario but are often reluctant to do so. We are hoping this will improve as more organizations look to measure their digital impact and request this info. Failing that we can use the financial spend on these services where other data is not available – but this is not as accurate.
In Compare Your Footprint we can currently measure:
Website dwell time (amount of time in minutes that goes by from the moment a user clicks on a search result and enters your website, to the moment they return to the search engine results page (SERPS).
Digital: Web and Cloud Hosting meaning that third party company’s emissions to host reporting company’s websites, cloud and/or data centre, provided by the hosting company either as kWh of energy used, or supplier-specific tonnes CO2e calculated on your behalf. Measured in CO2e or Electricity: UK & Australia Grid (we are adding more countries in time)
