Hello responsible technologist!

With Munich 2025, Green IO Season 3 comes to a close with a bang! With 20 new podcasts, and a series of 5 global conferences, there is much to celebrate and also much to digest. From sectoral insights and case studies, tools and models to track emissions, to best practice in greening software and latest developments in hardware and more, it is fantastic to be part of a flourishing digital sustainability community.

Hello responsible technologist!

This newsletter comes a bit late for a good reason which is the release of the much awaited update of the 2019 GreenIT.fr study on the global environmental footprint of IT (see below). A study in which Frédéric Bordage, our guest this month, played a significant part. Frédéric is widely ackowledged as one of the spearheads of Green IT in France and beyond for the last … 20 years! He was actually the founder of the GreenIT.fr initiative back in 2024. Today he advocates for a more radical approach than just greening high-tech: embracing Slow.tech.

Hello responsible technologist!

Green IO is all about collaboration and building bridges, so what better way to kick off Season 3 than by handing over the pen to a former guest. This month we are thrilled that leading ICT sustainability advocate Michael J. Oghia (episode 35), is our guest correspondent. Thank you so much, Michael, for taking the time to delve into the key connections between sustainability and cybersecurity, geopolitics and safeguarding critical infrastructure, whilst casting an eye over the regulatory landscape. Enjoy!

Hello responsible technologist!

For the last few months I have been so excited about hosting the first conference in Asia focusing 100% on Green IT. Yet as I sat down on my plane to Singapore for the Green IO conference on 18 April, I had my doubts about whether spending so much energy (carbon, physical, emotional) would actually benefit anyone. So was it worth testing my physical and mental limits, and using up precious planetary resources? The resounding answer is yes!
