ROI-MPACT Methodology for Digital Sobriety Measurement Launched
A survey of 23 companies reveals 87% have initiated digital sobriety actions, yet only 22% are aware of SROI. The ROI-MPACT methodology combines existing frameworks to assess whether digital sobriety consumes or liberates impact budgets, addressing a gap in financial management tools for sustainability.

The ROI-MPACT methodology addresses a critical gap in measuring the financial impact of digital sobriety initiatives, integrating frameworks like SROI and the multicapitals approach. A pilot case in a medium-sized data center, with an initial investment of €40,000, aims for a 20% energy reduction over three years, achieving a net SROI of 0.33 in that timeframe.
In contrast, a second case involving refurbished user workstations shows a negative net SROI under certain scenarios, highlighting the need for comprehensive impact assessments. The survey indicates only 10% of organizations are equipped with the necessary tools for effective management, despite advanced operational practices. The methodology is timely amidst increasing demands for carbon reporting and performance optimization in AI-driven data centers.
