Green digital skills
Digital skills for a low-carbon future
Every email, video call and AI prompt has a climate cost. We help people, schools, NGOs and small businesses measure and reduce the footprint of their digital activity, and we prepare learners for green careers.
What we work on
Five pillars
We follow one path: understand the footprint, design lighter services, build green careers, and turn learning into action.
1
Sustainable tech foundations
How climate change works, and where the carbon footprint of devices, networks, data centres, email and AI comes from.
2
Green digital design
Eco-design of websites and digital services: lighter pages, fewer requests, smarter images and video.
3
Green careers
Guidance and mentoring for green and greening jobs, with a focus on women and young people entering tech.
4
Infrastructure, marketing & carbon accounting
Greener hosting and cloud choices, sustainable campaigns, measuring CO2e and the energy cost of AI.
5
Greenprint action projects
We coach organisations to plan and deliver one measurable improvement to a website, product, service or process.
Programmes
Learn, act, share
Four programmes take people from first awareness to measured results.
A
Green Digital Academy
A 5-week blended course: three modules, one elective and a final Greenprint project. Free for learners.
B
Greenprint Clinics
Coaching sessions where a school, NGO or small business builds its own improvement plan with our trainers.
C
Green Talks
Monthly webinars with practitioners on green entrepreneurship, green jobs, design thinking and digital marketing.
D
Digital Footprint Toolkit
Free guides and calculators for email, websites, cloud storage and AI tools.
A Greenprint in practice
The email signature that weighed 780 kg
A company of 60 people adds an animated GIF to every email signature. At about 5 emails per person per day, that is 78,000 emails a year. Our estimate: around 10 g CO2e per email with the GIF, against 0.3 g without.

Figures are illustrative. Each Greenprint we coach measures its own baseline before claiming any savings.
