Techies Go Green in Ireland - Lead the Charge

Techies Go Green was co-founded in 2021 by Michael O’Hara and his dedicated team of passionate sustainability advocates as a not-for-profit organisation with a clear mission: to drive meaningful climate action across the tech and business community.

In less than four years, the initiative has grown into an award-winning movement with over 800 member businesses—ranging from startups to large enterprises—all committed to verifiably reducing their carbon footprint.

As global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, even when urgent reductions are needed, sustainability is no longer optional—it’s a business imperative.

Techies Go Green aims to:

• Raise awareness of the need for urgent, sustainable climate action.

• Build a collaborative, proactive community where businesses can access support, learn new skills, and share best practices.

• Simplify the process of measuring and understanding carbon emissions.

• Enable businesses to take verifiable, impactful steps toward decarbonisation.

• Provide education, tools, and opportunities for collaboration.

• Meet the unique needs of businesses on their net zero journey.

  In this session, Michael O’Hara will share the story behind Techies Go Green, highlight key milestones and lessons learned, and offer practical advice on how you can kickstart or streamline your own sustainability journey.
