JBI training course London UK

“Learning about the different environmental impacts of cloud services and how to assess digital carbon footprints was really useful — especially the practical tools for estimating emissions. The section on sustainable design principles was very good, and it was great to see clear examples of how to apply them in real-world digital projects.”

Course Details

The Business Case for Green Software
Explore the growing regulatory and market pressures shaping digital sustainability, alongside the commercial and operational benefits of green software.

Understand how sustainable practices can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and strengthen organisational reputation.
 

Carbon Lock-In
Examine how early design and architectural decisions can lock in long-term carbon emissions before development even begins.

Learn how to make informed choices around infrastructure, cloud services, and system design to avoid costly sustainability trade-offs later.
 

Sustainability KPIs & Budgets
Discover how to drive better engineering decisions through meaningful sustainability KPIs.

Learn how to define, measure, and implement carbon and energy budgets within projects, aligning technical performance with environmental goals. 

 

Q&A
An open session to ask questions, discuss practical challenges, and explore how to apply these concepts in real-world projects.

JBI training course London UK

This course is designed for software developers at any stage of their career and is relevant to both front-end and back-end development.

The morning session introduces key concepts in digital sustainability and demonstrates how they apply to software development making it suitable for nontechnical team members (project managers, product owners, and UI/UX designers, etc) who want to better understand and support sustainable practices within development teams

FAQs

JBI Training offers three Digital Sustainability courses, each one day in length. Digital Sustainability Introduction is a broad overview course suitable for any professional who wants to understand the environmental impact of digital technology. Digital Sustainability for Developers is tailored specifically to software engineers and covers practical techniques for writing and deploying more energy-efficient code and systems. Digital Sustainability for Business Analysts covers sustainability considerations from a requirements, process, and decision-making perspective. All three courses are available as scheduled classroom sessions in London, as live online instructor-led training, or as customised onsite programmes for teams.
Digital sustainability refers to the practice of designing, building, and operating digital products, services, and infrastructure in a way that minimises their environmental impact — particularly their energy consumption and associated carbon emissions. The digital sector is responsible for a significant and growing share of global electricity consumption and carbon emissions, driven by data centres, network infrastructure, and end-user devices. Technology teams — including developers, architects, data engineers, and business analysts — have a direct influence on how much energy their systems consume through the architectural decisions, coding practices, and infrastructure choices they make. Digital sustainability training helps technology professionals understand this impact and apply practical techniques to reduce it within their existing roles and workflows.
The Digital Sustainability Introduction course is a one-day programme providing a broad overview of digital sustainability for professionals across technical and non-technical roles. It covers the environmental impact of digital technology — including the carbon footprint of data centres, cloud computing, networks, and devices — how to measure and estimate the carbon impact of digital products and services, the principles of sustainable digital design, an overview of relevant standards and frameworks such as the Green Software Foundation's Software Carbon Intensity specification, and how organisations can begin developing a digital sustainability strategy. It is suited to anyone in a technology, product, or business role who wants to understand the environmental dimension of digital work.
The Digital Sustainability for Developers course is a one-day programme specifically designed for software engineers, DevOps engineers, and cloud architects. It covers the carbon cost of code and infrastructure decisions — including how algorithm efficiency, data transfer volumes, storage choices, and cloud region selection affect energy consumption. It addresses techniques for writing more energy-efficient code, designing carbon-aware applications that shift workloads to times or regions with lower carbon intensity, measuring software carbon intensity using established frameworks, optimising cloud infrastructure for sustainability, and integrating sustainability considerations into development and deployment workflows. Developers leave with practical, actionable techniques they can apply to their current projects.
The Digital Sustainability for Business Analysts course is a one-day programme covering how business analysts can embed sustainability considerations into requirements gathering, process design, and solution evaluation. It covers how to identify and document the environmental impact of proposed digital solutions, how to include sustainability criteria in requirements specifications and acceptance criteria, how to evaluate trade-offs between functionality, performance, and environmental impact, how to work with stakeholders to set digital sustainability objectives, and how sustainability considerations fit within broader ESG (environmental, social, and governance) reporting obligations. It is suited to business analysts, product owners, and requirements specialists who want to ensure sustainability is considered as a first-class concern in the solutions they specify.
The Green Software Foundation (GSF) is a non-profit organisation established by Microsoft, GitHub, Thoughtworks, Accenture, and other technology organisations to build a trusted ecosystem of people, standards, tooling, and best practices for green software. It has developed the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification — a methodology for calculating the carbon emissions of software systems — and the Green Software Practitioner certification. JBI's digital sustainability courses draw on the GSF's frameworks and principles, ensuring that delegates learn approaches that are grounded in emerging industry standards rather than informal guidance. As digital sustainability becomes a regulatory and reporting requirement for more organisations, familiarity with GSF frameworks is increasingly relevant for technology professionals.
Yes. All three digital sustainability courses can be delivered as customised onsite or online programmes for corporate technology teams. Content can be tailored to the organisation's technology stack, cloud provider, existing sustainability commitments, and ESG reporting requirements. For example, a development team using Azure can receive training focused on Azure sustainability tools and carbon-aware computing features, while a business analysis team working within a financial services organisation with specific ESG disclosure obligations can receive training that addresses those regulatory reporting requirements directly. JBI has delivered technology training for organisations including the BBC, NHS, RBS, Sky, EDF, and Capita, and can incorporate an organisation's own sustainability data and infrastructure context into the programme.
