I recently joined the Green Fix Podcast to examine the escalating environmental impact of data centres amid the global AI boom.

The conversation explores the hidden energy and water demands of digital infrastructure, Australia's looming grid reliability gap, and the economic consequences of unchecked data centre growth. I challenged the adequacy of carbon offsetting, makes the case for 24/7 clean energy matching, and unpacks how data centres can evolve from passive power consumers into active grid assets — while confronting the growing freshwater crisis driving urgent innovation in cooling technology.

In this episode of the Green Fix Podcast, I return to discuss the maturing landscape of Digital Sustainability. Hosts Loreto Gutierrez and Dan Leverington explore the hidden environmental costs of enterprise technology, warnings against relying on unverified vendor carbon data. The discussion highlights staggering emission reporting variances within the financial sector and the urgent need to transition from spreadsheets to auditable, high-provenance data. Introducing the "Sustainability Value Triangle"—aligning Finance, IT, and Sustainability teams—to ensure accurate climate disclosures and mitigate greenwashing risks in an increasingly regulated market.
