The initiative helps sustainability professionals decarbonize their organizations
June 1, 2023
Carbon accounting enables a business to calculate its entire carbon footprint. These calculations can then be used to report climate impact — often to meet ESG or legislative requirements — and to implement effective emissions reductions.
Collaboration will enable trust and transparency in tracking, reporting, and verifiying emissions data
April 3, 2023
With a focus on emissions quantification, operational analysis, and the certification of natural gas production, the companies will work to scale emissions mitigation across the full energy value chain.
Accurate carbon footprint assessment, target-setting, tracking and management are paramount, as climate disclosures become mandatory not only for building certification and environmental reporting, but also for financial regulation.
Normative and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative to measure businesses’ carbon performance
November 3, 2022
Complementing the work by Oxford Net Zero’s Net Zero Tracker and the UN’s Race to Zero, which assess the qualitative integrity of corporate targets, the Net Zero Score framework will be a tool for investors, customers, researchers, and businesses to evaluate emissions reduction progress in a comparable way.
AWS, Google, Microsoft, and Meta among the largest players in the ICA

The next step in the iMasons Climate Accord is to identify and establish an independent governing body to adopt or develop a standard methodology for measuring carbon in digital infrastructure and ensuring transparency.
ESG goals may favor a decade of brownfield data centers
April 14, 2022
Because new construction is fossil-fuel intensive, new build projects may suffer on an embodied carbon scorecard, even if the goals of the new build are to lower future emissions operationally.
The Carbon Glossary was created to lower the barrier to entry for companies to begin carbon accounting, and subsequently reduce their carbon footprints.
Accelerates supply chain decarbonization through circular asset management and embodied carbon tracking
April 11, 2022
By virtue of OriginMark’s material traceability and unique assembly relationship data structure, valuable embodied carbon data can be computed based on an aggregate total and origination of materials inside the individual components, whether that’s a single uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a data center, or a customer’s multi-location presence across Aligned campuses.
Including the whole-life carbon approach to the design process can identify which design selections achieve the lowest carbon emissions over the entire life cycle of the data center, where focusing solely on operational emissions may fall short.
