Social Value
Fighting climate changeFighting climate change
OUR SOCIAL VALUE COMMITMENT
We support and deliver across all identified areas of Social Value. We have provided below an example for Fighting Climate Change.
Our Social Value typically has two components:
1-Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of clients’ in house software development/support teams.
2-Training technical teams in ways of working that reduce GHG emissions.
Below is dependent on the size/scope/length of the engagement:
ACTIONS WE WILL UNDERTAKE
• We typically start with a one-day workshop to 1) Define what sustainability is in terms of software development/support. 2) Agree what can be measured, monitored and improved. 3) Produce a comprehensive Social Value Plan outlining our actions.
• We use Cognizant's Carbon Footprint Calculator to measure and report on the IT team’s baseline emissions, using energy as a proxy. This data drives action planning and progress tracking.
• If appropriate, our specialists conduct in-depth assessments of existing services/ways of working and identify areas where environmental impacts can be reduced. This process aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard and ISO/IEC 21030 standards for software measurement. We will assess ideas such as 1) cloud migration (eg optimised scalability). 2) Cloud native design (eg microservices and containers). 3) Green software design (eg code that minimises resource usage)
• If appropriate, we host workshops to discuss findings and agree changes in ways-of-working.
SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES
We typically run sprints to test changes and measure improvements. We agree ways to integrate these techniques into business as usual.
EMBEDDING THE PRINCIPLES
We train client’s staff in the new ways of working by a blend of joint working, training sessions, and an on-line Sustainability Guide which will cover best practices for sustainable design, development, and operations. We periodically meet with the client to encourage continuous improvement through a blend of refresh training and challenge.
