Executive Summary

At INSINTO, we recognise the significant environmental impact of the AI and tech industries and are committed to leading the way toward a sustainable future. Our Carbon Management Plan outlines a strategic approach to achieving net zero carbon emissions, focusing on innovation, efficiency, and collaboration. This plan details our goals, strategies, and actions to mitigate our direct and indirect carbon emissions, ultimately guiding INSINTO toward a responsible and sustainable operational model.

Goals

1. Achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2035:

   • Net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 (direct emissions from operations and energy consumption).

   • Net zero Scope 3 emissions by 2035 (indirect emissions, including supply chain and product use).

2. Implement a Transparent Reporting Mechanism:

   • Develop and deploy a transparent framework for measuring, reporting, and verifying our carbon footprint annually.

3. Foster Partnerships for Sustainable Innovation:

   • Engage with partners, industry groups, and regulators to share best practices and drive industry-wide changes.

Strategies

1. Energy Efficiency and Green Technology:

   • Upgrade to energy-efficient hardware for all operational and office equipment.

   • Transition to green data centers powered by renewable energy sources.

   • Implement server virtualization and other energy-saving technologies to minimize energy use in data processing and storage.

2. Sustainable AI Practices:

   • Invest in research to develop AI algorithms that are not only powerful but also energy-efficient.

   • Promote the use of lightweight models where feasible, reducing the computational resources required.

3. Green Procurement and Supply Chain Management:

   • Adopt a sustainable procurement policy prioritizing suppliers with verified green credentials.

   • Work closely with suppliers to reduce upstream carbon emissions through innovative logistics and production techniques.

4. Staff Engagement and Policy Advocacy:

   • Foster a company culture that values and rewards sustainable practices.

   • Advocate for policies that support renewable energy, carbon pricing, and sustainable development within the tech industry.

Action Plan

1. Short Term Actions (1-2 years):

   • Conduct a comprehensive carbon audit to establish baseline emissions.

   • Begin transitioning to energy-efficient office and tech equipment.

   • Launch an internal sustainability training program for all employees.

2. Medium Term Actions (3-5 years):

   • Achieve 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions through energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sourcing.

   • Develop partnerships with renewable energy providers and green tech innovators.

3. Long Term Actions (5-15 years):

   • Reach net zero in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.

   • Implement full-scale supply chain adjustments to ensure net zero Scope 3 emissions by 2035.

   • Continuously innovate and iterate on AI efficiencies and sustainable practices.

Monitoring and Evaluation

• Annual Sustainability Review: Conduct an annual review of environmental performance against set targets and objectives.

• Regular Impact Assessments: Perform regular impact assessments to understand the effectiveness of implemented strategies and make necessary adjustments.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Regularly engage stakeholders, including employees, customers, and partners, to gather feedback and enhance sustainability initiatives.

Conclusion

INSINTO is committed to leading by example in the tech industry by aggressively pursuing our net zero targets through comprehensive, actionable strategies.
