Who They Are
The iMasons Climate Accord (iCA) is a global coalition working to reduce carbon emissions across digital infrastructure. Their Maturity Model codifies industry-backed best practices for lowering embodied and operational carbon, giving organizations a structured pathway to improve sustainability performance.
What They Do
The iCA Maturity Model provides a clear benchmarking framework that helps data centers evaluate current practices, identify improvement areas, and adopt strategies that reduce carbon across materials, equipment, and power sourcing.
By aligning organizations around shared definitions and targets, the model accelerates progress toward measurable decarbonization.
Sustainability Impact
The model empowers teams to make data-driven decisions that reduce system-wide emissions, enhance transparency, and improve long-term planning.
By standardizing carbon accounting and reduction frameworks, it strengthens industry alignment and helps organizations track progress toward net-zero goals.
