Digital footprint.

Our approach to measuring and reducing the carbon and energy cost of our software, infrastructure and deployments.

Effective · 1 May 2026 Version · 3.2 Applies to · lenscorp.ai & all LENS products Languages · English (canonical)

01Summary

We measure the carbon and energy footprint of our offices, our cloud compute and our business travel using the methodology in section 02. We do not publish a quarterly figure on this page. The current numbers are compiled internally and are available on request from solutions@lenscorp.ai.

02Methodology

We follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1:2018. Operational control boundary. Cloud emissions calculated via AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool and Azure Emissions Impact Dashboard, cross-checked with the SCI specification (greensoftware.foundation). These figures are compiled internally and have not been externally assured.

03Scopes 1, 2, 3

  • Scope 1 (direct) — small. Our offices use district heating; we operate no fleet.
  • Scope 2 (purchased energy) — offices in 8 cities. 74% of office grid electricity is matched with renewables; HQ Gurugram is on a green-power tariff.
  • Scope 3 (value chain) — the largest share. Dominated by cloud compute (74% of Scope 3) and business travel (18%).

04Compute & data

Energy per inference is a design constraint for us: it is measured for each release and it is one of the inputs to whether a model ships. We do not publish per-product figures, because the number depends on the hardware, the input resolution and the workload of each deployment. Deployment-specific measurements are available to customers on request.

05How we reduce

  • Smaller models. We benchmark distilled / quantised variants for every release. Default to the smallest that hits accuracy targets.
  • Right-sized inference. Edge deployment where the workload allows; cloud only where centralisation actually saves energy.
  • Region-aware scheduling. Batch jobs are routed to regions with the cleanest grid mix that hour.
  • Hardware reuse. Min. 4-year refresh cycle on laptops; refurbished where possible.

06Offsets

We offset what we cannot reduce, but only with verified high-quality removals — currently biochar and enhanced rock weathering, sourced via Frontier and Puro.earth. We don’t buy avoidance credits. The retired-credits ledger is available on request from solutions@lenscorp.ai.

07Annual report

We prepare our disclosure with reference to ISSB IFRS S2. A copy is available on request from solutions@lenscorp.ai.
