Full story: I am Green and IT'll do Fine (16-Oct-07)
A problem for many companies wanting to green their IT is that they simply do not know where to start. To gain the most value there is a need to incorporate the whole of the business strategy when planning green projects and work from the top down. The move to green comes as companies begin to understand the extent of the environmental impact of their IT; which is responsible for 2% of the world’s carbon emissions.
Fujitsu’s whitepaper has set out a 5 step plan to help companies successfully move to green:
- 1. Ensure the project covers the full business and has support at the highest executive level.
- 2. Understand the scope of the greening of the company
- 3. Measure IT assets
- 4. Develop strategies, e.g. recycling, reduce power consumption, optimising infrastructure.
- 5. Implementation and tracking benefits.
