Are Green ICT practices now becoming a key business component for any organisation ?


According to Graeme Philipson Green IT “is the conscious implementation of technologies, techniques and policies designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the IT function within the organisation… and the use of IT to reduce the carbon footprint of the whole organisation.” So, there are now plenty of reasons for implementing green IT now, such as broader green issues are gaining prominence, power bills are rising, IT’s power consumption is rising, IT’s power consumption is more visible and carbon emissions reporting is becoming mandatory, he said.
