Full article: More Companies Want Outsource Vendors to Green Operations (20-Aug-07)

A growing majority of corporate decision makers will consider green credentials when selecting outsourcing companies, a recent study suggests. Brown-Wilson Group, a Florida company that studies the outsourcing industry, concluded that more corporations are dumping environmentally-unfriendly outsourcers in a trend expected to continue.

  • Public companies are more likely to work green practices into future outsourcing contracts because of regulatory, shareholder and customer concerns, the survey found. More than 21% of public companies have already added green policies into existing contracts while more than 94% of respondents intend to add green clauses when they go to renegotiate.
  • By comparison, 36% of private companies are now contemplating green policies for 2008 outsourcing contracts.
  • Nearly 90% of outsourcing decision-makers indicated that environmental stewardship will influence the outsourcing choices they will make when contracts come up for bid during the next year.

Why WFH isn't always so green (4-Jul-07)

The electricity used by home PCs doubled between 2000 and 2005, according to the Energy Saving Trust. Consumption is forecast to grow a further 30% between 2006 and 2020 as users install higher-spec (and therefore more energy-intensive) machines. Home-working is often touted as a way of cutting CO2 emissions, but employees should take steps to reduce their power consumption. The difference between an energy-efficient PC with a ‘sleep’ mode and a PC left on 24x7 can be more than £100 per year in electricity. In 2005, 9% of the domestic electricity bill was due to PCs and their peripherals; by 2020, computers and other gadgets will account for 45% of electricity used in the home.
