BASDA, the software industry body, has created a discussion group to draw together ideas to address the issue of measuring environmental impacts. The group aims to develop a green ‘code of conduct.’
The Green ‘Special Interest Group’, will meet for the first time after BASDA’s annual general meeting on 15 May. It is an open forum and all are welcome.
The group will consist of officials from BASDA, with John Doyle, sustainable development policy coordinator at the European Commission a keynote speaker. The agenda includes setting standards, targets, rules and measurements to tackle carbon emissions.
Although the SIG is still in the early stages, BASDA has been speaking to Defra about the issues.
‘We want to create the technology and software to measure, account for and to budget carbon emissions,’ said Jairo Rojas, director general at BASDA.
