UBM and Microsoft shift computational tasks in CO2-reduced times
This whitepaper discusses the first enterprise-scale implementation of carbon-aware computing, a collaboration between UBS and Microsoft under the Green Software Foundation (GSF) umbrella. Using the GSF Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification and carbon-aware-sdk tooling, the partners implemented a time-shifting strategy for UBS's risk platform, running workloads during periods of lower carbon intensity in the grid. This approach is projected to prevent multiple metric tons of CO2eq from entering the atmosphere annually.

Green software is software designed and implemented to have the lowest possible carbon emissions. The Green Software Foundation (GSF) is a cross-industry consortium that is building a trusted ecosystem of people, standards, tooling and best practices for Green Software. A foundational principle of Green Software is known as carbon-aware computing, which involves shifting compute to […]
Consider automating activities
Let workers perform as many steps as possible for single cases
Form cross-department teams for end-to-end case handling.
Consider to deepen or broaden the skills of resources
Consider the division of a general activity into two or more alternative activities
Collect similar work items and work in batches
Offer a green alternative with the same outcome, utilizing different steps, resources, or partners, while retaining the previous existing process
Let customers interact with the company wherever they want to
