The hidden carbon liability in your Council's digital infrastructure
Help your authority hit its Net Zero targets by eliminating digital waste—slashing cloud storage costs and Scope 3 emissions simultaneously.

Compliant with Crown Commercial Service (CCS) frameworks.
You can’t reach Net Zero if your data is burning energy
Most local authorities focus on electric vehicles and solar panels. But your fastest-growing carbon liability is invisible.
Every automated spam email, duplicated resident record, and years-old "dark data" file sitting on your servers actively draws power from the grid. With UK data center energy demand rapidly increasing, your digital footprint is quietly undermining your climate action plans.
The Carbon Blindspot:
Standard carbon accounting completely misses the Scope 3 emissions generated by your daily digital operations.
Compliance Risk:
Sifting through digital waste makes FOI (Freedom of Information) requests and GDPR compliance slower and more expensive.
The Budget Strain:
Storing redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data wastes thousands in taxpayer money on cloud storage fees.
Clean data. Lower emissions. Reduced costs.
Our platform plugs directly into your local authority’s existing infrastructure to identify, isolate, and safely delete digital waste without disrupting front-line resident services.
