What Is

Techies Go Green?

Founded in 2021 to enable businesses cut their carbon footprint

As global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, at a time when they need to be rapidly falling, climate action is moving front and centre for businesses.

In 2021 Techies Go Green was co-founded as a not-for-profit organisation by Michael O’Hara and his dedicated team who are all passionate sustainability advocates. They set themselves the ambitious goal to:

Build greater awareness of the issue of climate change in the wider business community.

Identify the actions we, as members of the business community, can take to play our part in slowing down climate change.

Help businesses go carbon neutral by creating a community of signatory members to support the process of reducing their carbon emissions and becoming more sustainable.

Our Mission

We all share one world and one environment

We have a responsibility to protect it and build a sustainable future for everyone. At Techies Go Green, we have set ourselves the mission to:

Make it as easy as possible for members to measure and understand their carbon footprint.
