cegedim.cloud provides a dedicated section in ITCare for its carbon footprint.
This section allows users to identify the environmental impact of applications in detail, displaying both the CO2 emissions of Global Services and those of associated instances.
The carbon footprint calculation is an integral part of the Enercare project, based on the energy consumption distribution of services. It takes into account IT equipment (servers, storage bays, networks, etc.) as well as all components necessary for their proper operation (air conditioning, generators, uninterruptible power supplies, etc.). These components are associated with the data center energy performance indicator calculated using Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
The scope includes both Cegedim’s proprietary data centers and those in colocation.
cegedim.cloud has developed internal tools and a methodology to allocate service consumption for shared instances. As part of a continuous improvement approach, this methodology will evolve with the reliability and accuracy of data collected.
The calculation of the carbon footprint for our cloud services adheres to the rules of the . We include the following elements in the Enercare functionality:
Direct emissions under Scope 1 from data centers: fossil fuel combustion from generators, and fugitive emissions from refrigerants in cooling systems.
Indirect emissions under Scope 2: electricity consumption of equipment, including the PUE.
Indirect emissions under Scope 3: upstream emissions linked to fuels and electricity production, goods and services purchased for service operations (considering their production to end-of-life cycle), and employee travel.
The data presented in Enercare corresponds to cegedim.cloud’s activities, independent of those of other subsidiaries or the Cegedim group. As the carbon footprint is conducted and audited annually, we cannot correlate calculation coefficients to real-time service usage.
The Calculation Rules section below explains the collection of energy consumption data from physical equipment and the method used to calculate the carbon footprint for services and instances.
