Sustainable Procurement Tools

On reflection

Skills Development Scotland moved to hybrid cloud hosting a few years ago. On reflection, it would have been beneficial to capture carbon usage prior to switching to a hybrid cloud model and then including carbon reporting in the first hybrid cloud contract. This would have demonstrated specific carbon benefit numbers at a time when the greatest level of carbon saving was being realised.
