MediaPower's Commitment to Environmental Sustainability and Low Carbon Impact

MediaPower recognizes the growing importance of environmental sustainability and is committed to minimizing its carbon footprint. As a software company and system integrator, MediaPower’s core operations inherently result in a significantly lower environmental impact compared to organizations with substantial manufacturing or heavy industrial activities.

Our low carbon impact is primarily attributed to the following factors:

  • Focus on Software and Systems Integration: MediaPower’s primary activities involve the development and integration of software solutions. These operations rely on intellectual capital and digital processes, rather than resource-intensive manufacturing or production.
  • Utilization of Cloud Computing: MediaPower leverages third-party cloud platforms, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and others, for software development and deployment. We prioritize cloud providers with demonstrated commitments to renewable energy and energy efficiency, thereby indirectly supporting the transition to sustainable data center operations.
  • Limited Direct Emissions: MediaPower’s Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, are minimal. This is due to the nature of our business, which does not involve significant industrial processes or large fleets of vehicles.
  • Emphasis on Indirect Emission Management: MediaPower actively seeks to manage its Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions through various strategies:
    • Energy Efficiency: We promote energy-efficient practices within our offices and encourage the use of energy-saving devices.
    • Remote Work Policies: MediaPower supports remote work arrangements, which contribute to a reduction in emissions associated with employee commuting.
    • Sustainable Procurement: We are committed to considering environmental factors in our procurement decisions, favoring suppliers and partners who demonstrate a commitment to sustainability.
    • Reduction of Business Travel: MediaPower utilizes remote communication tools to minimize the need for business travel, thereby reducing associated emissions.

While MediaPower’s operations inherently result in a lower carbon footprint, we are dedicated to continuous improvement in our sustainability efforts. We are committed to:

  • Monitoring and evaluating our environmental impact.
  • Exploring further opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint.
  • Supporting and promoting sustainable practices within our industry.

MediaPower believes that responsible environmental stewardship is essential, and we are committed to operating in a manner that minimizes our impact on the planet.

Understanding the Emissions

To achieve carbon neutrality, the company needs to understand and address its carbon footprint. This typically involves categorizing emissions into three scopes:

  • Scope 1: Direct Emissions – Emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company. For a software company, these are often minimal and might include emissions from company-owned vehicles (if any) or on-site generators (if any).   
  • Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from Purchased Energy – Emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by the company. This is a significant area for a software company, encompassing the electricity used in offices.   
  • Scope 3: Other Indirect Emissions – Emissions that occur as a result of the company’s activities, but from sources not owned or controlled by the company. This is the most complex category and includes:
    • Emissions from cloud service providers (AWS, Google Cloud, etc.)
    • Emissions from employee commuting and business travel
    • Emissions from the lifecycle of purchased goods and services (e.g., office equipment)  
    • Emissions from waste disposal
