Fast track Carbon Awareness Pathway with Support from Offshore Development

Why Carbon-Aware IT Is More Than Just a Buzzword
As Dutch tech companies move swiftly to align with EU sustainability directives—like the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), NIS2, and the EU Green Deal—IT operations are under the spotlight.
But going green isn’t just about switching to LED lights and remote work. It’s about rethinking how we build, deploy, and run software. And that’s where an Offshore Development Center (ODC) in countries such as Vietnam can be a strategic sustainability partner.
How an ODC Helps Advance Your Carbon-Aware Goals
1. Smarter Workload Scheduling = Lower Emissions
Development teams based in Vietnam can build carbon-aware platforms that:
+ Shift compute-heavy jobs to cleaner times of day (based on grid carbon data)
+ Use APIs like ElectricityMap or WattTime to trigger low-emission deployments
+ Distribute workloads across cloud regions with a higher renewable energy mix
Result: Reduced emissions from cloud infrastructure—without sacrificing performance.
2. Green Software Engineering by Design
Carbon-aware development isn’t a feature—it’s a philosophy. Vietnamese teams can:
+ Optimize software to reduce energy use
+ Avoid overprovisioning in cloud deployments
+ Apply principles from the Green Software Foundation to make your apps leaner and cleaner
Result: Smaller, faster, greener apps—and lower operating costs.
3. Cloud Optimization & Sustainable Architecture
Cloud region selection and multi-cloud strategies can drastically affect your carbon footprint. An experienced ODC can:
+ Recommend low-carbon cloud regions
+ Automate deployment based on carbon intensity
+ Architect serverless and event-driven systems to cut idle compute time
Result: More sustainability-conscious, scalable infrastructure.
4. Build ESG Dashboards & Sustainability Reporting Tools
A Vietnamese team can design and implement:
+ Real-time carbon tracking dashboards
+ ESG reporting modules integrated into your systems
+ APIs to monitor and optimize energy and emissions data
Result: Meet EU regulatory standards faster and more transparently.
5. Access to Sustainability-Aligned Talent
Vietnam’s tech ecosystem is growing fast, with a strong focus on:
+ Cloud-native architecture
+ Sustainable software practices
+ AI-assisted optimization
Result: A highly capable, cost-effective workforce aligned with modern ESG priorities.
