Level 2 - Aware

You know your organization’s scope 1 and 2 emissions. You have a few projects driving greenness within your organization and beyond it using this data (by putting pressure on suppliers, for example). Your engineers have had some training in green systems, operations and patterns.

Axis	State
Whole organization energy commitments	CZero for scope 1, 2 and 3 by 2040 (note you may already be so-called “Carbon neutral”)
Carbon footprint	you know what it is (scope 1 and 2)
CO2 equivalent metrics	annual, quarterly or monthly numbers from all suppliers (including outsourcers) and own systems for scope 1/2
Server resource management	occasional spring cleans where you manually turn off idle or low value systems and delete/archive unneeded data
Energy resource management	hosting in green regions/buying renewable energy
Minimize end user device embodied carbon waste (assume circular economy)	some adhoc targets in place
Minimize server hardware embodied carbon waste	some adhoc systems and some systems using multi-tenancy to improve utilization
Product management	carbon awareness part of product design
Education	basic training for all engineers & PMs. Champions are trained
