The Tech for Good Alliance, the UK-wide skilled tech volunteering framework programme created by the Scottish Tech Army, has announced a strategic partnership with carbon diagnosis and decisioning platform, GoCodeGreen.

By joining forces with GoCodeGreen, the Tech for Good Alliance seeks to take a leap towards optimising the ecological footprint of the technology and software solutions delivered to not-for-profit organisations.

GoCodeGreen has developed what it says is the ‘first and most complete’ carbon diagnosis and decisioning platform for software, enabling organisations to decarbonise their software and technology.

The unique carbon-neutral platform calculates the carbon footprint of any software, from legacy systems to websites and mobile apps, and offers actionable insights for businesses to improve efficiencies, reduce costs, and look to achieving net zero as part of Environmental Social & Governance (ESG) commitments.

As a result, GoCodeGreen’s solution can enable organisations to cut a third of their carbon emissions, on average.

Under the partnership, future projects undertaken within the Tech for Good Alliance will adopt the GoCodeGreen methodology and tools. This integration will empower Alliance member companies to evaluate and optimise the carbon impact of every solution delivered, ensuring the best possible environmental outcome for each initiative.

“We are excited to collaborate with GoCodeGreen, a pioneering force in the sustainability arena,” said Alistair Forbes, CEO of the Scottish Tech Army.

“With our mission of driving social impact through technology, partnering with GoCodeGreen aligns perfectly with our vision to create a more sustainable future. This collaboration will enable our member companies to make informed decisions and deliver tech solutions that benefit not only the communities they serve but also our planet.”

GoCodeGreen’s state-of-the-art carbon diagnosis and decisioning platform offers a comprehensive solution for calculating, reducing, and offsetting carbon emissions within software and technology projects.
