Green Brick Road a 15-Day Assessment

In recent years, there has been increasing pressure on corporate leaders to substantiate their sustainability commitments with practical action. It is no longer acceptable for just a few industries to take responsibility for environmental sustainability. Businesses and governments worldwide feel immense pressure to break down their broad commitments into tactical targets and action plans and start executing and reporting on them. By defining sustainable emission targets, organizations can translate their ambition into action and realize the environmental benefits demanded by them.

At Versent, we have a long-standing history of working with organizations to help them meet and maintain their sustainability targets. Our approach is to utilize our expertise in implementing efficient ICT solutions on Microsoft Azure to enable our customers to build more sustainable businesses. By migrating and transforming their ICT estates to Microsoft Cloud technologies, our customers are already saving up to 80% of their emissions due to hardware and facilities efficiency and renewables.

Our Green Brick Road (GBR) offer builds on this by further optimizing our customers' consumption and converting Carbon Footprint & Water Usage to auditable, reportable, and potentially monetizable data with the use of Microsoft's Sustainability Manager.

The GBR is a strategic 15-day assessment that helps our customers make the right decisions to build more sustainable businesses using Microsoft Azure. It identifies ICT savings in relation to technology, people, and processes that align with sustainability targets and supports our customers in making the right long-term sustainability decisions.
