The Blue Angel is an ecolabel developed by the German Ministry of Ecology since 1977, which guarantees that a good or service meets high standards in terms of health, climate, water and resources characteristics. The products are evaluated across their entire life cycle, and criteria are developed for each individual product group. In particular, the end of life of hardware is considered.

BT offers products and services that can vastly reduce your carbon emissions, from enabling your mobile workforce, to streamlining your IT infrastructure. The calculator proposed by British Telecom helps estimate the carbon emission savings associated with the products and services developed by the company. Various services are assessed, from reducing unnecessary travel through video conferencing to decreasing power consumption through virtual datacentres.
These calculators can help you estimate those savings:

CEEDA is an energy efficiency assessment framework for data centers, addressing best practices which directly impact OPEX, providing a globally applicable certification and guidance on optimizing deployment of labour and CAPEX to maximize performance. The assessment certification is based upon 70-80% of the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres (Energy Efficiency) best practices and covers management, IT equipment, cooling, power systems, data centre build design considerations and monitoring. There are 3 award levels: bronze, silver and gold.

The CLEER (Cloud Energy and Emissions Research) Model is a comprehensive user friendly open-access model for assessing the net energy and emissions implications of cloud services in different regions and at different levels of market adoption. The model aims to provide full transparency on calculations and input value assumptions so that its results can be replicated and its data and methods can be easily refined and improved by the research community.
