SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Digitalization\, Sustainability and Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:Alongside the social impacts of digitalization\, arguably a neglected aspect – yet a crucial piece of the puzzle – is the power and data capacities necessary to sustain growth and demand. As the World Bank states in a 2023 report\, a greening of this data infrastructure is crucial to wider sustainability efforts: “By reducing the environmental footprint of data centers\, countries can lower emissions and meet sustainability goals.” At the same time\, data centers have become indispensable to society and economic growth\, yet are themselves vulnerable to climate risks. \nAt this event held at Digital Realty – Switzerland’s largest and CO2-neutral data center – we will take a deep-dive into this critical topic which affects businesses\, individuals and society alike. With contributions from data centers\, infrastructure providers\, networks and academia\, we will look at what can be done to move us to a more sustainable IT infrastructure in terms of energy efficiency\, materials\, water usage and power.  \nAs well as this\, Digital Realty is also offering a unique behind-the-scenes look at their data center\, with an optional tour starting at 17:30 – registration required. \nInterested in joining us? \nWe kindly ask that you arrive on time if you would like to join the tour. There will be strict security on site\, so admission is only possible with government-issued ID (driving licence\, Ausweiss or passport only).  \nUpdate: the tour tickets have now sold out\, but if you are interested please add your name here so we can open up an extra tour. \nProgramme: \nTour participants:\n17:30 – 17:45 Registration and security open\n17:45 – 18:30 Tour of data center \nAll participants:\n18:00 – 18:45 Registration / Welcome Drinks\n18:45 – 20:15 Speakers input\, panel discussion and Q&A\n20:15 – 21:45 Apéro and Buzzing

SUMMARY:Networking Event Series: Tech for Scope 3
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \nJoin us to explore the intersection of technology and sustainability in the context of Scope 3 emissions. We will discuss some case studies for measuring\, managing\, and mitigating Scope 3 emissions\, with a particular focus on the role of technology in facilitating this process. \nScope 3 emissions are the largest and most challenging component of a company’s carbon footprint\, as they encompass a wide range of indirect emissions that occur along the entire value chain\, from suppliers to end users. However\, with the right tools and technologies\, companies can gain a deeper understanding of their Scope 3 emissions and identify opportunities to reduce them. \nPolestar is at the forefront of the Scope 3 and technology landscape. They will share their insights and experiences on topics such as: \n\nInnovation and collaboration: driving Scope 3 emission solutions\nMeasuring Scope 3 emissions: how can technology help\nEngaging suppliers and customers\nIntegrating Scope 3 emissions into sustainability goals\nThe Role of Carbon Capture Technology in Scope 3\n\nJoin us for a lively and informative evening of networking\, learning\, and discussion with sustainability professionals from the Zurich area. Whether you’re a sustainability leader\, a technology innovator\, or simply curious about sustainable business\, come and be part of the Buzz! \n– \nErkunde mit uns die Schnittstelle von Technologie und Nachhaltigkeit im Kontext der Scope-3-Emissionen. Wir werden über Fallstudien zur Messung\, Verwaltung und Minderung von Scope-3-Emissionen diskutieren\, wobei der Schwerpunkt besonders auf der Rolle der Technologie bei der Unterstützung dieses Prozesses liegt. \nScope-3-Emissionen stellen den größten und herausforderndsten Teil des CO2-Fußabdrucks eines Unternehmens dar\, da sie eine breite Palette von indirekten Emissionen umfassen\, die entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette von Lieferanten bis zu Endbenutzern auftreten. Allerdings können Unternehmen mit den richtigen Werkzeugen und Technologien ein tieferes Verständnis für ihre Scope-3-Emissionen erlangen und Möglichkeiten zur Reduzierung identifizieren. \nPolestar befindet sich an vorderster Front der Scope-3- und Technologielandschaft. Mit uns teilen sie ihre Einblicke und Erfahrungen zu folgenden Themen: \n\nInnovation und Zusammenarbeit: Vorantreiben von Lösungen für Scope-3-Emissionen\nMessen von Scope-3-Emissionen: Wie kann Technologie helfen?\nEinbindung von Lieferanten und Kunden\nIntegration von Scope-3-Emissionen in Nachhaltigkeitsziele\nDie Rolle der ‘carbon capture’-Technologie bei Scope-3-Emissionen\n\n–

SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Science-Based Targets Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2015\, the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) was one of the first frameworks for corporate emission reduction target setting in line with climate science\, an impactful tool to drive net zero ambitions. The SBTi was formed by the Carbon Disclosure Project\, the United Nations Global Compact\, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).\n\nThe Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi):\n\n“Defines and promotes best practice in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science.\nProvides technical assistance and expert resources to companies who set science-based targets in line with the latest climate science.\nBrings together a team of experts to provide companies with independent assessment and validation of targets.\nThe SBTi is the lead partner of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign – an urgent call to action from a global coalition of UN agencies\, business and industry leaders\, mobilizing companies to set net-zero science-based targets in line with a 1.5°C future.”\n\nA commitment to the SBTi can bear many opportunities for companies\, such as bottom line savings\, regulatory resilience\, investor confidence\, competitive advantage\, innovation and more. Nearly 3\,500 companies from across all sectors have signed up for the SBTi worldwide\, over 80 big companies in Switzerland. As the initiative’s influence has grown\, so have questions about the accuracy of its ratings and the ongoing reporting\, other questions include… \n\nWhat are the goals of the SBTi\, how was it founded?\nWhat tracking is in place to ensure committed goals are reached?\nWhat happens after a company’s climate action plan is approved by the SBTi?\nAre there control or reviewprocesses in place? How is data on their progress collected?\nCan middle-sized or small companies comply?\nWhat should a company consider when signing up to the SBTi?

SUMMARY:Informal Drinks - Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
DESCRIPTION:Carbon capture and storage (CCS) refers to a range of technologies that combat climate change by reducing the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2). The idea behind CCS is to capture the CO2 combustion of fossil fuels before it escapes into the atmosphere\, transporting it\, and eventually storing it. \nNew questions arise: What should/ will happen to the captured CO2? Can such technologies create a false sense of security in some people\, a deceptive way out of impending behavioral changes? Are CCS technologies facilitating greenwashing? \nJoin us for these Informal Drinks on November 4th to discuss these and more questions relating to carbon capture and storage technologies\, the opportunities connected to them but also their limitations. \nAt this event\, you will hear a short input by Liesbeth Deddens\, Product Marketing Manager at Climeworks to give you some food for thought. Afterwards\, you are invited to simply mingle and have a drink with us and the GreenBuzz community.

SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Digitalisation - Climate Killer or Climate Protector?
DESCRIPTION:Technology will continue to transform our lives\, and the growth of businesses will depend upon it. Digitalisation has seen a huge jump triggered by the Covid crisis. Millions of businesses around the world have transformed and digitized at a hyper pace. But where there’s light there’s usually dark\, too. So what are the good and the bad sides of this megatrend? \nAs digitalisation is developing rapidly\, so is the demand for energy and valuable resources. The power for our smartphones\, streaming services and social networks has so far mainly come from fossil fuels. Some estimate that in just a few years\, the digital industry will cause more carbon emissions worldwide than all motorised traffic. In fact\, it already accounts for 4% of global carbon emissions. \nBut technology doesn’t have to be a climate killer. It can also be used as a force for good\, and digitalisation can substantially help in promoting climate change mitigation. For example\, digital solutions enable the shared economy\, help curb emissions that would otherwise happen through business trips or make agricultural practices more efficient and sustainable. \nSo on the occasion of Digital Day Switzerland 2021\, we are asking how digitalisation can be a force for good\, a driver for innovation\, and go hand in hand with sustainability instead of harming the environment. \nWe will hear from industry leaders and sustainably-oriented entrepreneurs who are all working towards making Switzerland a notable digital innovation hub.
