Best Of 2024: Sustainable IT And The Case For Carbon Accounting
Techstrong ITSM, Tuesday, December 31st, 2024
With the threats associated with climate change, IT sustainability is an initiative that is becoming imperative in today's IT organizations.
This initiative is often driven by corporate-level sustainability and responsibility efforts, rippling down to the CIO and their direct reports. In fact, across companies, IT leads the pack with the highest rate of sustainability adoption (75%), outpacing all other departments. For most companies, environmental sustainability and carbon accounting is a top priority in the IT domain. This emphasis stems from the rapid growth in spending on software and cloud services, accompanied by the consequential inefficient power consumption and computational resource requirements.
