THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF DIGITALIZATION

Have you heard of the digital carbon footprint, but don't know what it is exactly, how large it is, and how it can be reduced? You are not alone. 84% of students want to learn more about climate change and sustainability at school.

Our digital carbon footprint experts have put together a hands-on, experience-based CarbonClass education program for you to learn about the role of digital assets in global warming, access the tools used by experts, and earn a certificate to prove what you've learned.

WHAT MAKES THIS TRAINING UNIQUE?

CarbonClass is a course based on the real-world experience of Carbon.Crane's experts in digital carbon footprint monitoring and reduction, feedback from our collaboration with universities on educational programs, and the continuously updated results of research published in the field.

Theory, Case Studies, Practice.

In this 180-minute workshop, you will learn about the concept of a digital carbon footprint, measurement and diagnostics solutions, and opportunities to reduce emissions. In addition to theoretical knowledge, practical examples will be used to demonstrate the solutions that can be applied to achieve reductions, and their impact on the most affected operational area of a business: marketing.

In the second half of the workshop, we will focus on practical application: you can also try out the measurement, monitoring, and modeling tools we use.

Finally, you will be able to assess your knowledge through a series of questions based on what you have learned, and those who successfully complete the test will receive a badge that can be placed on LinkedIn to prove they have completed CarbonClass.

Students who have taken CarbonClass so far have given a score of 4.5 out of 5 on how new the course content was to them. Still not convinced? 100% said they would recommend CarbonClass to their fellow students.

Who are we?

Carbon.Crane is an enthusiastic team of marketing experts and data scientists who believe that the carbon footprint of the nearly 200 million active websites and more than 350 billion daily emails could and should be measured and reduced. We monitor hundreds of thousands of URLs on a regular basis, from high-traffic news sites to heavily used banking sites and brand sites. Our experience across this broad spectrum helps our partners to reduce their carbon footprint and creates a unique opportunity to prepare the next generation to do so.

WHAT DOES CARBONCLASS OFFER YOU?

icon01

You'll know what a digital carbon footprint is and understand the options for reducing it.

icon01

You'll be able to measure the actual carbon footprint of a page, identify the components that cause its emissions, and model the reduction potential.

icon01

If you pass the test, you'll also get a badge from us to prove all this to others.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

The digital carbon footprint is expected to grow even when other areas' footprint is shrinking. Yet few people are aware of the carbon footprint and energy demand of the most important digital tools: websites and emails. Not to mention that carbon reduction also means energy savings, and it goes hand in hand with improved user experience and SEO results.

This is what our previous participants had to say:

“I don’t recall that we have ever touched on the subject of the digital carbon footprint in our classrooms. But CarbonClass gave me a great new perspective, which I was very happy about. After the workshop, I looked at websites differently, and I immediately had a sense of how sustainable a site could be when I was looking at one.”

Dorottya Vincze, Environmental Engineering BSc student at Budapest University of Technology and Economics

“It was really interesting to see how much carbon footprint we emit via the internet, from now on, I'm going to use it more consciously.”

Bálint Sz., Marketing MA student at Corvinus University of Budapest

“The class fitted very well into the curriculum of the Sustainability Management specialization, effectively and efficiently complementing the theoretical aspects with a well-thought-out practical tool. In addition to the content, the presentation style was very motivating, and the students (and the instructor) enjoyed the class very much (...) Some students said immediately after the class that they had enjoyed this guest program the most during the course.”

Dr. Gábor Harangozó, habil. associate professor, Corvinus University of Budapest Department of Sustainability Management and Environmental Economics

“The presentation is well-structured and provides a good understanding of the background and importance of the area. It was also great to see how the practical exercise of trying out the software, which is also used by the experts, activates the students.”

Dávid Harsányi, Associate Professor, PhD, Budapest Business University Department of Marketing

“I personally thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, and colleagues have all reported back that it was interesting, informative, and easy to follow, and they were very happy to attend.”

Zombor Berezvai, PhD, Head of Department, Hungarian Competition Authority Competition Economics and Market Research Department

„This workshop is a particularly valuable format for this age group, woven together with great dynamism — it kept them engaged throughout, which is a big feat! This is also reflected in the student evaluations, they had a very positive experience. And their test scores show that they not only enjoyed the event, but also gained valuable knowledge that they can apply to their future studies and professional lives as well.”

Dr. Fanny Bukta-Liska, Senior Lecturer, University of Pannonia Institute of Business Studies
