Is Dark Data Killing The Planet? EA as a Sustainability Strategy to Address Digital Decarbonisation

With an ever-growing digital carbon footprint, addressing “dark data”—unused data that consumes resources without adding value—is crucial for sustainability. Enterprise Architecture (EA) offers a powerful approach to managing dark data sustainably, helping organisations minimise waste and reduce environmental impact. 

Join us as Prof. Hanlie Smuts explores how EA practices can redefine data management, strengthen data governance, and promote energy-efficient operations. This session will highlight actionable strategies for leveraging EA to drive sustainable practices and digital decarbonisation within your organisation, building a greener, more responsible digital ecosystem.
