Decarbonise your digital footprint

From cloud infrastructure and purchased hardware to remote work emissions, Noissime gives tech teams the data and automation they need to report faster and reduce smarter.

A sector scaling faster than its carbon tracking

Tech companies face unique emission challenges — from opaque cloud energy to hardware supply chains. Investors and customers expect transparency.

Why carbon accounting is hard for tech companies

Purchased goods dominate Scope 3

Hardware, servers, and electronics have massive embodied carbon. Tracking emissions across global procurement teams is complex and time-consuming.

Cloud and data centre energy opaque

Most cloud providers report aggregate renewable energy, but lack the granularity needed for accurate location-based Scope 2 calculations.

Employee commuting post-COVID

Hybrid work models create new reporting challenges. Capturing home-working energy use and variable commuting patterns requires continuous data collection.

Rapid growth outpaces tracking

Headcount and revenue can double in a year. Manual systems break under this growth, making year-on-year comparisons and intensity metrics unreliable.

How Noissime solves it

Spend-based Scope 3 calculations

Import procurement data and map spend categories to EEIO emission factors. Noissime applies the correct factor per category, covering hardware, SaaS, and professional services.

Cloud provider energy data integration

Connect AWS, Azure, and GCP via API to pull usage and energy data. Noissime applies location-based grid factors and renewable energy adjustments automatically.

Remote work emission tracking

Survey employees on commute and home-working patterns. Noissime calculates Scope 3 Cat 7 emissions using regional energy factors and transport modes.

Growth-normalised intensity metrics

Track tCO2e per employee, per user, or per dollar of ARR. See how efficiency improvements compare to absolute emissions as you scale.

Purpose-built for technology companies

Tech-specific emission factors

Access factors for servers, laptops, smartphones, and SaaS categories. Map each purchase category to its specific emission intensity.

API-first architecture

Integrate with your ERP, HRIS, and cloud providers. Automate data collection so reporting happens continuously, not quarterly.

CDP and GRI disclosure templates

Generate disclosure-ready reports mapped to CDP Climate Change and GRI 305. Full audit trails and data quality scoring built in from day one.

Mapping every tech company emission from cloud to commute

Carbon accounting for technology companies requires visibility across data centres, digital supply chains, and distributed workforces. Noissime gives tech teams the granularity they need to track tech company emissions across every category.

Data centre and cloud infrastructure emissions

For SaaS and cloud-native companies, data centre energy is the largest operational emission source. Carbon accounting for technology demands accurate measurement of both owned infrastructure and third-party cloud usage. Noissime connects directly to AWS, Azure, and GCP billing APIs to pull energy consumption data, then applies location-based grid emission factors for each availability zone. This level of tech company emissions tracking moves beyond aggregate provider claims to give you precise, auditable Scope 2 and Scope 3 figures.

Remote and hybrid working patterns create additional complexity for carbon accounting for technology firms. Employee home-office energy use falls under Scope 3 Category 7, while variable commuting patterns require continuous survey data. Noissime automates employee surveys, calculates per-capita emissions using regional energy mixes, and tracks tech company emissions from remote work alongside office and travel footprints in a single dashboard.

Automate Scope 3 data collection across your tech supply chain

Hardware vendors, software licensors, data centre operators, and professional services providers all contribute to tech company emissions. Collecting primary data from each supplier manually is impractical at scale. Noissime's automated supplier outreach funnel solves this.

Drop suppliers in, get Scope 3 data out

Carbon accounting for technology supply chains starts with supplier engagement. Upload your vendor list and Noissime sends each supplier an automated invitation via magic link. Every supplier receives a free account tailored to their industry, showing only the fields relevant to their products and services rather than a daunting fifty-page questionnaire. Hardware manufacturers see questions about embodied carbon and logistics. SaaS vendors see questions about hosting energy and data centre PUE.

As tech suppliers respond, their data flows directly into your Scope 3 calculations. AI validates each submission for completeness and consistency, flagging outliers for review. Over time, your carbon accounting for technology company shifts from spend-based EEIO estimates to supplier-specific primary data, dramatically improving data quality scores. Automated reminders and cooperation scoring ensure high response rates across your entire digital supply chain, making tech company emissions tracking scalable even as your vendor list grows.

Free supplier accounts

Each vendor receives a free Noissime account with fields tailored to their tech category.

Real-time Scope 3 updates

Validated responses flow straight into your tech company emissions calculations as they arrive.

Free carbon reduction plans designed for technology companies

Every paid Noissime account includes AI-generated carbon reduction plans that tell you exactly what to reduce, prioritised by impact and cost-effectiveness. For tech firms, these plans address the emission sources that matter most in your digital operations.

Cloud optimisation recommendations

Your free carbon reduction plan identifies opportunities to reduce tech company emissions from cloud infrastructure. Right-sizing instances, scheduling workloads to greener regions, and consolidating idle resources translate into both carbon savings and cost savings for your technology operations.

Travel and commuting policies

Carbon accounting for technology companies often reveals business travel as a top emission source. Your reduction plan recommends specific policy changes, such as rail-first mandates for short-haul routes and virtual-meeting defaults, prioritised by the tonnes they would save.

Supply chain engagement priorities

Not all tech suppliers are equal in emission impact. Your carbon reduction plan ranks vendors by their contribution to your Scope 3 footprint and suggests targeted engagement actions to reduce tech company emissions across your procurement portfolio.

Continuously updated plans

As your carbon accounting for technology matures, new reduction levers surface. Noissime updates your plan automatically when supplier data replaces estimates, when new emission factors are released, and when your tech company emissions profile changes quarter to quarter.
