Listen to Emery Geosits, Executive Director of Global IT Alliance; Tom Willshaw, Sustainability Programs Lead, Compugen Systems, Inc.; and Brent Smiley, VP, ITAD Programs, Green4Good™, as they discuss the top 3 IT Sustainability Trends for 2022 and where to start your journey.
Companies are looking for eco-friendly solutions around purchasing, maintaining, and upgrading IT equipment. The circular economy reimagines IT asset management by incorporating sharing economy models, product-as-a-service, product use extension, resource recovery, and more.
Circularity should start at procurement. More manufacturers are incorporating post-consumer materials and other sustainability practices into their products, so it’s easier than ever to procure equipment with a lower environmental footprint. Your company stands to benefit greatly from environmentally-preferred purchasing.
Green Data Centers are the key to reducing IT's environmental impact and your company's operating costs. Greening up your data center, either through a cloud migration, colocation, or consolidation initiative, is more than a noble cause; it's a smart business move.
Sustainability is the new business success formula. It can help you strengthen your brand image while attracting more customers, talents, and investors. IT sustainability will play a critical role in reducing your environmental footprint in today’s digital business world.
The good news is that you can take impactful action right away, no matter where you are in your sustainability journey. Here are three business benefits you'll notice by going greener:
65% of consumers say they want to buy from purpose-driven brands that advocate sustainability, and 73% are willing to change their consumption habits to lessen their negative impact on the environment.
The TCO of PCs goes beyond the cost of hardware. It has to cover installation, software, networking, communications, applications, maintenance, technical support, etc., which increase as a piece of equipment ages. Refreshing PCs every 3 years reduces TCO by 24% compared with hanging onto them longer.
Recycling legacy technology and giving devices a second life can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% per laptop. A comprehensive tech refresh strategy ensures that e-wastes are properly treated while precious metals such as lead, lithium, nickel, cadmium, and copper are removed, recycled, and reused.
“We will have a positive, rippling impact on the world around us; each and every day.”
Committing your technology to a second life at the time of purchase can net your business up to 20% off initial IT hardware costs and allows you to refresh your technology sooner.
You'll also earn carbon credits which send a positive brand message to your customers, partners, and current and future employees.
Support your team in selecting the right technology and lifecycle strategy that meets your goals while helping your organization make a tangible push for sustainability.
More frequent device refreshes allow for:
an improved staff experience,
lower lifecycle costs, and
fewer security risks.
