Hands-on, outcome-focused consulting for organisations post-assessment — implementing specific Sustainable IT improvements across infrastructure, AI workloads, software, procurement, and governance. Delivered as structured sprints with measurable carbon reduction outcomes at each stage.
Organisations that have completed a sustainability assessment often have clear findings but lack the internal expertise, bandwidth, or methodology to implement the improvements they know are needed. The gap between assessment insight and measurable operational improvement is where most sustainability programmes stall.
GCF's SIT Improvement Consulting bridges this gap — providing hands-on implementation support across the specific areas where the organisation needs to improve, with verified outcomes at the end of each sprint and a carbon reduction metric for every initiative.
Define the improvement focus areas based on the organisation's SIT Assessment results or GCF SIT Rating improvement report. Design a series of 4–8 week sprints with clear scope, team involvement, and success metrics. Agree on carbon reduction targets for each sprint.
Device lifecycle audit across all locations. Refurbishment programme design. MoEFCC-certified e-waste routing plan. Hardware procurement policy update — embodied carbon criteria. Target: extend average device lifecycle by 2+ years.
Workload consolidation and right-sizing. Idle resource identification and elimination. PUE improvement initiatives for on-premise data centres. Carbon-aware scheduling implementation with Carbon Aware SDK. Target: 20–40% reduction in compute energy.
Frugal AI assessment: which workloads can move to CPU-native inference. Kompact AI deployment for eligible workloads. BirchLogic carbon tracking integration into ML pipelines. Carbon budget framework for AI projects. Target: 30–60% reduction in AI inference carbon.
