3. Talend Software can be used by organisations to manage their data relevant to fighting climate change - making trusted data available for decision making and policy setting.
4. Talend can be used to physically reduce the amount of data (duplication / un-used, etc) thereby reducing the amount of storage required / reducing the number of physical servers being operated by Cloud Storage providers.
