Why are sustainable IT solutions so important for companies?
Sustainable IT solutions are important for companies for a host of reasons:
Environmental protection, climate protection and sustainability: Sustainable IT solutions help shrink a company’s carbon footprint by saving resources and energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and extending the lifespan of IT products. This supports the achievement of global climate targets with the aim of reducing the impacts of climate change – and helps companies to meet their own sustainability targets.
Future viability: Efficient use of resources and the introduction of renewable energy technologies for IT infrastructure prepare companies for future challenges and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
Cost savings: Energy-efficient hardware, virtualization, server consolidation and more efficient cooling solutions deliver significant reductions in energy costs.
Compliance and image: Many companies are subject to environmental requirements and regulations. Sustainable IT solutions support compliance with legal requirements. In addition, adopting a sustainable IT strategy can help companies to enhance their public image as an environmentally conscious company.
