A Convenient Truth
Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand released ‘Green IT: A Convenient Truth’, a Fujitsu Australia-commissioned research paper. It reveals that 95 per cent of Australian firms that have a Green IT policy save money. However, 60 percent of firms have no IT policy concerning the environment.
The research highlights the key drivers for Green IT policies where they exist and the barriers Australian companies are facing.
Though IT departments are slowly becoming more sustainable, but it may be more a positive side effect than a principal policy driver. The main motivator for many companies seeking to reduce their IT energy consumption is to reduce costs, and the company ends up reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
Sounds familiar?
