Context
A communal administration wanted to measure the environmental impact of its IS to better understand digital materiality and integrate sustainability in its IT strategy and public policies.
Sector backdrop. Public organisations operate under heightened scrutiny on transparency, accountability and procurement: every decision sets a precedent for local actors, and reporting expectations on environmental performance keep tightening. That makes Sustainable IT both a compliance topic and a leadership signal.
Approach
- Full audit (ISO 14040/44 + GHG Protocol Scope 3) including local energy mix.
- Mapping IT impacts on five indicators (CO2e, energy, water, resources, waste).
- Roadmap with four priorities: fleet optimisation, indirect consumption reduction, governance, internal awareness.
Why this matters
A baseline measurement is rarely the end of the story, it is the input that makes every subsequent decision (procurement, lifespan, cloud regions, application portfolio) defensible with numbers rather than opinions.
A few patterns came out of the engagement that tend to repeat across organisations of similar scale: the largest share of the footprint almost always lives in end-user devices, not in the data centre.
How the MIKUJY platform supported the work
The MIKUJY platform was used end-to-end to structure the engagement, host the data and consolidate results in dashboards the teams could revisit at any time.
More specifically, the Measure module powered the IT footprint and Sustainable IT maturity assessment, turning scattered inventories into a single comparable baseline.
MIKUJY consultants brought hands-on professional support throughout the engagement, facilitating workshops, validating data and helping translate the platform outputs into a concrete action plan.
