Boavizta Project - Environmental Footprint Data

This data repository is maintained by Boavizta and is complementary to Boavizta's environmental footprint evaluation methology. It aims to reference as much data as possible to help organizations to evaluate the environmental footprint of their information systems, applications and digital services. This data can be freely used for any purpose including without using Boavizta's methodology.

Data sets

At this time, we provide two CSV files grouping together data collected from manufacturers (mainly Product Carbon Footprint reports) publicly avaiblable :

  • boavizta-data-fr.csv: French version (; used as a delimiter, comma as a decimal separator)
  • boavizta-data-us.csv: English version (, used as a delimiter, dot as a decimal separator)

We encourage all manufacturers to provide us with similar data or to correct potential errors in these files.

Boavizta working group works actively to enrich these files with new data :

  • from manufacturers
  • resulting from its analyzes and intended to provide ratios or average values that would simplify the evaluation

Please refer to sources.md for a complete list of sources.

Contribute

People are encouraged to contribute to these files.

You can easily contribute by :

If any manufacturers wish to share data with us, we will be happy to discuss with them how we can efficiently synchronize this data.

Data format

  • Manufacturer: manufacturer name

  • Name: product name

  • Category:
