  Fighting climate change

  Thoughtworks is committed to helping address all aspects of social responsibility, including our industry’s carbon footprint and contribution to climate change. We have developed a responsible tech playbook which considers sustainability and environmental impact of tech solutions alongside other aspects of corporate responsibility (see https://www.thoughtworks.com/en-gb/about-us/social-change/responsible-tech-playbook; our Building Responsible Cloud Services GCloud offering). We are working in partnership with multiple clients on solutions in the greener and cleaner energy space, and of course we monitor and take steps to reduce our own carbon footprint in line with our carbon reduction plan. ; Our cloud services can help fight climate change by reducing the carbon impact of legacy (non-cloud) services, by optimising cloud services to reduce carbon impact, and by using the cloud to develop solutions whose purpose is to reduce carbon impact. Our Social Impact Leads will help us to shape a relevant and impactful social value offer for you, aligned to your requirements and scaled appropriately to fit with the scope and size of any engagement. We will provide a clear plan, agree success metrics, and report our activities and benefits against the relevant MAC sub-criteria.
