10 Key Elements of a 'Green IT' Strategy 

By Simon Mingay

Every IT organization can substantially improve its environmental performance, while often reducing or avoiding costs. IT organizations must go beyond the data center and adopt a very broad approach to their environmental programs. 

Key Findings:

  • IT significantly impacts the environment throughout its life cycle. Most enterprises have  not paid enough attention to this until recently.
  • IT's environmental impact can be significantly reduced by behavioral changes, as well as technology changes. 
  • Given the relative energy and materials inefficiency of most IT infrastructures today, many green IT initiatives can be easily tackled at no incremental cost. 

Recommendations for IT Organizations:

  • Implement a broad-based environmental program tackling energy and material efficiency, as well as issues of waste and supplier management. 

  • Ideally, do this as part of a broader enterprise initiative to help drive behavioral changes.
