Michael Scheffler’s Post

The very famous Peter Drucker quote; 'you can't manage what you can't measure' has been at the core of my day-to-day work for the last decade. Speaking of measurement; in the realm of carbon accounting for operational footprint, prioritizing data quality is not just beneficial—it's essential for business growth and reliability. However, achieving pristine accuracy in emissions reporting, particularly across Scope 1, 2, and 3 is fraught with challenges. * Scope 1 difficulties often lie in direct emissions measurement. Employing advanced measurement technologies and conducting regular equipment calibrations can enhance data precision. * Scope 2 reporting struggles with indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Adopting standardized emission factors and utilizing renewable energy certificates can provide more accurate reflections of energy use. * For Scope 3, the complexity of value chain emissions often leads to data disparities. Strengthening supplier relationships and implementing shared tracking systems can improve the accuracy and completeness of reported data. While we strive for the best possible data, we must acknowledge that 100% accuracy remains elusive due to external factors. Yes we are aiming for perfection, yet understanding the challenges and emphasizing robust data management strategies are key to enhancing the credibility of our emissions reporting. #CarbonAccounting #DataQuality #SustainableFuture #SustainabilityattheHeart

🌍 The Benefits and Challenges of Data-Driven Carbon Management in Infrastructure Projects 🌍 Integrating data-driven carbon management throughout a project’s lifecycle offers key benefits, but also presents challenges: Benefits: 1) Informed Decision-Making with real-time CO2e calculations across all phases. 2) Optimized Carbon Reduction by evaluating carbon-efficient options early. 3) Long-Term Impact through continuous carbon assessments from design to construction. 4) Improved Collaboration as stakeholders align on shared carbon data. Challenges: 1) Data Integration & Accessibility across diverse systems. 2) Lack of Standardization in carbon accounting methods. 3) Awareness & Training gaps on embodied carbon. 4) Provisional Data Accuracy requiring updates as projects evolve. 5) Design-to-Construction Transition and effective implementation. 6) Cost vs. Carbon Trade-offs requiring careful balance and insight. Data-driven #LCA and carbon management can drive #LowCarbonInfrastructure, but overcoming these challenges requires strategic action.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of our latest ESG Report. For enterprises grappling with data proliferation, the pressure to cut back on power and costs in the data center isn’t just an uphill battle - it can feel downright ineffective. That's where Pure Storage comes in. Our products require up to 10x less energy than mechanical spinning disk storage (HDD) and up to 5x less than solid state drives (SSDs). With storage consuming approximately one quarter of all data center energy, the five to ten times reduction our platform provides can translate into a 20% overall reduction in total data center energy use. This is a significant stride in our commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices.
