Go back to all blogs

Techies Go Green, together with DataSolutions, is delighted to be back again with another set of webinar in our Techies Go Green Autumn Webinar Series 2022.

We will be running these webinars over the coming months and have an exciting line-up of speakers planned to include several guest presentations from sector and climate experts, ‘peer-to-peer’ case studies as well as Q&A sessions.

The first webinar in our next series will be “Google, Emissions, and their Ecosystem of Sustainability Partners”, on 27th September at 10:30am.

In this episode, we will be joined by Google and Citrix who will be discussing why we should care about sustainability, the initiatives and projects they are working on to drive  the sustainability agenda as well as the importance of developing ecosystems and partnerships that foster sustainability because after all when it comes to sustainability it remains the case that no one can do it alone!

Hear from Google on what they are doing on their sustainability journey and learn about the many initiatives they have implemented around the world to support organisations wherever they are on their journey to becoming more sustainable.

In her talk Pinar Ugurlu Kirazci who is a Cloud Partner Engineer at Google Cloud will talk about the story behind Alphabet, Google and Google Cloud's Sustainability strategy and will share with us the innovative initiatives Google are implementing around the world, from efficient data centres to generating inexpensive renewable energy at scale, that are supporting businesses and people to make more sustainable choices.
