Improving and tracking the performance of ICT goods and services Sample Clauses

Improving and tracking the performance of ICT goods and services. Life cycle assessments (LCA) allow for the quantification and management of environmental aspects of products (including services) and activities, accounting for the different life cycle stages. This approach offers opportunities to improve the environmental aspects at various stages of the product life cycle by implementing eco-design practices to encourage increased efficiency, innovation and potentially cost savings. Hence, not only the energy consumption during the use stage but also the production and end-of-life stages can be optimised. Among the methodologies identified in the scope of XXXXXXXXXXXX.xx, several of them stipulate that they can be used to identify the main contributors to environmental impacts. The ETSI 203 199 and ETSI 103 199, as well as the GHG Protocol ICT Sectorial Guidance are among them. Furthermore, integrating environmental criteria into core business decision-making and actions enables to gain competitive advantage and to comply with stricter environmental regulations but also to prepare environmental action plans and to manage risks and potential liabilities. The following examples illustrate the benefits from implementing methodologies with the aim of tracking and improving the performance of ICT products: • In order to improve the environmental and social performance of its digital offering, Solocal (a French company providing local services) carried out a multicriteria LCA of the entire digital device used to operate one of its websites, XxxxxXxxxxx.xx. The company identified the main sources of impacts and consequently implemented eco-design practices to tackle the issues. As a result, the amount of HTTP requests was reduced by 43% and the average weight of the pages by one-third, leading to a reduction of the potential impact on climate change by around 15% and of water consumption by 21% [4]. • The European Service Network (ESN – a project led by the European Commission to raise awareness on environmental projects carried out by the European Union) conducted an analysis of its website environmental performance, which revealed that reducing the amount of articles displayed on the homepage allowed to divide the full display time by 4 and thus reduce operating costs. The changes resulted in 1.1 to 3 gCO2eq savings per loaded page [4]. • Apple uses LCA as criteria in internal decisions, in addition to supporting product eco-design or benchmarking the carbon footprint of similar products. Simplified results from LCA are als...
