Green IT

Setting up a sustainable IT infrastructure in companies

The United Nations predict a global environmental impact of around 74 million tons of electronic waste for 2030. Data centers alone are already responsible for 2% of global energy consumption. It is predicted that IT will cause more emissions in the coming years than aviation and shipping combined. One thing is certain: The IT-driven infrastructure and the use of resources in the IT departments of companies must be set up in a sustainable way.

One of the most important drivers of Green IT initiatives is social responsibility and customer demand for a more sustainable use of resources. However, government regulations are also increasing the pressure on companies. With the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Union is laying an important legal foundation for the sustainability reporting of an estimated 15,000 companies in Germany. And for up to 50,000 companies in the EU.

Sustainable IT measures

In addition to the urgency of Green IT measures, there are many key challenges that companies have to deal with.

Return on investment

The initial investment costs are high and have long amortization periods. It is difficult to reliably quantify the actual return on investment (ROI).

Organizational readiness

Companies must become aware of the issue of Green IT and make a general commitment to tackling climate change through their workforce and internal measures.

Furthermore, an individual company's Green IT efforts are most effective if the value chain tackles climate change together. Cooperation and raising awareness among partners is a central task of the Green IT strategy.

Institutional framework

It is important that government institutions create a clear political framework that promotes sustainability in the IT sector, but also creates the necessary incentives. Regulations must be complied with and incentives must be used in the best possible way.
