ICT Carbon Footprint Experts
Calculate, Compare & Change
ICT generates 3% of global GHG emissions. Scientific research shows this can be reduced by 30% on average using the Px3 cloud-based sustainable ICT applications platform. Uniquely validated by science, organisation can now generate ICT carbon footprint and energy consumption baseline reports and model strategic sustainable ICT strategies using the Px3 suite of applications.

What people say about us
“
We’re already using the Px3 Compare app and it is golden. So far it seems they have included more or less exactly the filtering options that makes sense, which is great! The ability to select region of use – which I imagine is a major USP for the tool – is particularly useful. As far as I know there’s nothing like it out there and as the list of devices grows I can’t imagine why companies would go anywhere else to get CO2e information for their hardware inventory and purchasing decisions.
Kjetil Neergaard, Green Tech Manager, Strawberry Hotels, Norway
“Sustainability is at the heart of Google and Chrome OS. It is so important that we ensure we have a solid, science-based validation of the benefits our solutions can offer. That’s where Px3 come in. They are an independent, research-based company who provide analysis and benchmarking of the environmental impact of IT and workstyles. We have used their services to benchmark the sustainability benefits of Chrome OS, evaluate the impact from customer deployments, and create calculators to help our teams compute the sustainability impact of our product. Their research and contribution has helped to shape our approach to sustainability at a global level.
Michael Wheeler-Wyatt, Director Chrome Enterprise EMEA, Google
“
To manage towards a goal of Net Zero emissions we first needed to understand where we are today. This research work by Px3 provides a starting point for us to now aim to drive down the emissions from the DWP IT infrastructure to meet the Greening Government commitments.
Tony Sudworth, Sustainability Lead, DWP Digital
Px3‘s report gave us the actual figures and benchmarked a 32 percent reduction in energy with the move to Citrix and Acer Chromebooks – building on previous Px3 research about Chrome OS and energy savings. We received clear metrics from actual energy usage – that way, we have a level of assurance and confidence that we can validate our sustainability objectives.
David Grasty, Corporate Head of Digital Strategy & Portfolio, Royal Borough of Kingston and Sutton Councils
Acer’s goal is to be the leading sustainable device manufacturer in the industry and to support our customers to deliver meaningful change aligned to CO2 reduction. Achieving our sustainability goals requires partnerships industry wide and also importantly with independent experts like Px3
