    The levers to pull for sustainable data centres (on-premise and in the cloud)

    In today’s cloud and on-prem environments, AI solutions, sustainability and cost-efficiency are top priorities. AMD EPYC based servers are enabling seamless evolution of compute and AI leadership and continue to grow in all the market segments. In this session, we’ll explore how latest AMD’s 5th Gen “Turin” EPYC™ as well as prior generations of processors are reshaping the sustainability landscape across cloud and enterprise environments. With continued performance uplift over prior generations and significantly lower power-per-performance, EPYC-based instances are powering cloud VMs across the world as offer compelling price-performance for general-purpose workloads, databases, and even AI inference. Attendees will gain insights into sustainability as well as decision making tools for modernization, downsizing, and hourly cost optimization. Discover how to do more with less—sustainably.

    Dipping your toes into web sustainability

    The World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Sustainability Guidelines offer a comprehensive set of recommendations to make digital products and services better for people and the planet. However, with nearly 100 guidelines including hundreds of success criteria spanning a variety of roles—such as UX designer, web developer, product manager, and so on—they can be quite intimidating to the uninitiated. Knowing where to start is challenging. This workshop will help attendees understand how you can use the Web Sustainability Guidelines in day-to-day digital product work, including roles-based tasks vs. improving general sustainability awareness and education across teams and disciplines. Facilitators will provide suggestions to get started in each category alongside specific examples and case studies.

    Solving the cloud’s 3.5 billion tonne waste problem: A GreenOps guide for engineers

    How to reduce cloud cost and CO2e at scale by leveraging billions of usage records Greenpixie shares how they built a scalable system to calculate and enrich cloud emissions data from billions of usage records across AWS, Azure, and GCP. By embedding emissions directly into billing data (including Scope 3 and embodied emission metrics) the system helps companies like Mastercard cut over 800 tonnes of CO₂ per year. This talk covers the technical foundation, modelling approach, and how emissions data can be integrated seamlessly into existing FinOps and engineering workflows.

    Envisioning the Web’s green future

    The nascent web sustainability movement has grown slowly for over a decade, but climate change and ecological destruction are here now, today. Plus, web sustainability is complicated, requiring a variety of multidisciplinary skills, such as creativity, problem solving, innovation, political advocacy, and technical acumen, to name just a few. It’s easy to get hung up on reducing page size or optimizing images, but how often do we take stock in what success really looks like? What’s our collective vision? How will we get there? Can we create the urgency needed to make progress quickly? How might we align sustainability in tech with broader global goals to improve the world we live in? This interactive closing session will help us envision what's needed to make web sustainability a reality so we can walk away from GreenIO engaged and inspired to build the web’s green future.

    Open source AI for a sustainable future

    As AI systems increasingly shape the world we live in, questions around trust, transparency, and ethical impact become ever more crucial. At the heart of these concerns lies a fundamental truth: transparency and accessibility contribute towards sustainability. In this talk, together we will explore why open source isn't just an ideological preference—it's a technical necessity for a more sustainable future for AI. We’ll also break down how open source accelerates innovation, improves security and enables community-driven accountability. From real-world examples to accessible tools and demos, this talk makes the case that open source AI paves the way towards a more resilient and sustainable AI ecosystem.

    How to save $28m cloud spend and 800 MTCo2 at Mastercard

    Delivering business impact and IT Sustainability at Mastercard. Mastercard has long invested in IT sustainability across its departments and M&As, although public cloud remained a blind spot. By integrating high-quality sustainability data that could match the fidelity and granularity used across business units, programs and applications into engineering and FinOps workflows, Mastercard brought cloud into the fold, aligning cost, performance and sustainability for the first time. This talk shares how Mastercard used the data to identify high-impact use cases, embedded carbon and electricity data into engineering processes, and uncovered over $28 million and 800 metric tonnes of CO₂e in potential savings by making cloud sustainability actionable across a growing global organisation.

    Building green software: how cloud-native platforms can power sustainable app development

    Sustainability initiatives are more pressing than ever and cloud platforms can play a key role in reducing environmental impact. We’ll share our experience automating energy-efficient compute scaling, eco-routing workloads, and providing insights into environmental and financial impacts. You’ll discover how tools like electricity maps can provide a global carbon emissions API to help track and reduce the carbon footprint of cloud-native workloads. This session will provide actionable insights for developers, platform engineers, and sustainability advocates seeking to build greener apps.

    Using sustainability standards as guidelines to build websites and apps

    We have learned from experience with regulations and standards that it is more effective to create websites that conform with potential regulations before they are written than to remediate products after laws are in place. Understanding this, we can prepare for a regulatory future that includes web sustainability.

    Escape from the forbidden zone: smuggling green & inclusive tech past the gatekeepers

    Discussing responsible tech goals feels increasingly risky in today's political and business climate. As progress faces rollbacks, how can ethical designers and technologists respond? This talk offers practical, optimistic strategies to smuggle these values into production. Learn to reframe principles in business-friendly language, tweak processes for stealth impact, and adopt passive resistance tactics. Build better, more ethical products - even when 'they' don't want you to.

    Why I built a carbon measurement tool for LLMs (and what I learned along the way)

    As a sustainability consultant and instructor specializing in sustainable AI practices, I've noticed a critical gap in this space: the need for practical, reliable tools to measure LLM carbon emissions. I'll share what I discovered while testing existing measurement tools, the challenges my students encountered, and why these experiences drove me to develop a new inference measurement plugin. Through live demonstrations, we'll examine current tools' strengths and limitations, and I'll show you what I'm building to address the gaps I've found.
