Infrastructure Masons Announces the Formation of the iMasons Climate Accord Uniting over 70 Companies on Carbon Reduction in Global Digital Infrastructure
iMasons Advisory Council members met on February 2, 2022 to decide on one thing they could do together as an industry to battle climate change. The ICA was born from that meeting.
Currently, there is no universal labeling system or mechanism to measure embodied carbon over the life of the materials used to build data center facilities or the products that fill them.
It is essential to have industry adoption of an open standard to report carbon in data center materials and products, carbon intensity in power consumption, and a maturity model to report participant progress.
said
The next step in the iMasons Climate Accord is to identify and establish an independent governing body to adopt or develop a standard methodology for measuring carbon in digital infrastructure and ensuring transparency. The work from this body will influence market-based buying decisions to drive the industry to carbon neutrality as the first step to achieving planetary net zero.
Collaboration is key to compounding the results from the commitments of each of the ICA companies and ensuring the sum is greater than the parts. Visit imasons.org/climateaccord to learn more or to join the iMasons Climate Accord.
