Umbraco Cloud Sustainability Dashboard: A step towards a greener web
While audiences seek a seamless digital user experience, they also want to see your commitment to sustainable practices. Sustainability is a core consideration in our web development.
What's new?
The sustainability dashboard provides daily CO2 emission estimates, historical data tracking, and comparative analysis of your websites and projects.
Measuring these environmental metrics can help to guide your efforts in reducing your website’s carbon footprint. Here are some of the key features:
Daily CO2 Emission Calculations: Updated daily, providing current emission estimates.
Historical Data Tracking: View monthly and yearly CO2 emissions and trends.
Comparative Analysis: Compare emissions across time for projects and identify areas for improvement.
How it works
Web sustainability is vital for a greener future. New technology such as AI increases demand for infrastructure to facilitate growth and development, so it’s important to consider what we can all do to minimise the environmental impact of our digital footprint collectively.
This is where Umbraco Cloud's sustainability dashboard can make a big difference for your website.
Decreasing carbon emissions from your site
Using the Cloud Carbon Footprint (CCF) methodology, the dashboard breaks down emissions based on your site’s resource usage to provide a clear picture of where your digital operations stand by calculating the Sum of environmental CO2 emissions.
Umbraco have provided information on how to get started with the dashboard, and we’ve included a few useful tips below:
Monitoring: Regularly checking the sustainability dashboard to monitor website's carbon footprint.
Optimise Resource Usage: Analyse websites resource usage and identify high-consumption areas to optimise resource usage.
Implement Recommendations: Follow up to date sustainability best practices to guide your efforts in mitigating environmental impact.
Why it matters for your industry
Consumers expect sustainable practices that lead to improved public health, and your audiences want to know what you’re doing to manage and reduce emissions from your digital operations for a cleaner environment.
In managing your carbon footprint, your business can ensure alignment with ESG goals that in turn improves relations with audiences by enhancing sustainability credentials and using eco-friendly practices.
The sustainability dashboard provides your team with a tool to benchmark against consumer expectations and global standards - meaning a cleaner future for everyone.
