It’s been 3 years since we collaborated with Wholegrain Digital to create the Digital Declutter Toolkit. Since then, the industry has been growing at over 6% pa and this growth is accelerating - doubling in size in under 10 years, driven by multiple factors including AI, Blockchain and Digital Transformation. The FT reports that data centres alone could drive a rise in the world's energy usage of up to 6%.

Bill Gates is telling us not to worry... Should we? Come and listen to, and engage with, Rafi Addlestone and Randy Adjei on two fascinating perspectives on the digital industry and the ramifications for organisational and personal use.

Rafi has worked at the intersection of technology and sustainability with both Deloitte and Amazon Web Services and will cover industry growth, the hyperscalers' record on emissions and disclosure, how this plays into the polycrisis and what you should be thinking about as a user-business.

Randy will draw on a new report which takes a hard look at one of the most significant environmental challenges of our time, e-Waste. Africa, the focus of the study, is challenged by the import of obsolete electronics and informal recycling practices. He will reflect on the feasibility of circularity and what we should do to reduce the harm we are responsible for.
