CO2 responsibility - how we learned to shrink our footprints
How to reduce CO2 by being a better developer?
At Tchibo we had the idea to reduce our server and energy consumption with our 13 eCommerce product development teams. But why would any developer care? We all like fast snappy development and test systems. And of course, our shop needs to survive Black Friday’s shopping traffic. Annual Google Cloud consumption forecasts do not trigger us to consume less. But when we started to show each team the related carbon dioxide footprint, we created a feedback loop that will help us to learn to become better CO2-developers. And to change the world, where we have an impact. This is our story of an idea, which sparked a change and first responsible steps towards a more sustainable future.
As developers, we have an impact - program CO2 reduction.

Things that inspire me are innovative technologies, tube radios and cycling. Change involves failure and learning, organizational change involves creating a learning environment. In 2016 we founded kommitment GmbH & Co. KG as an experiment in radical democratic management consultancy.
