One year on from the last “Time I.T. Changed” special issue, Justin Sutton-Parker of Px3 reviews both the progress and plans for the future to make IT more sustainable. From manufacturing and use to abatement strategies such as device longevity, remote working and offset programmes, the supplement draws on opinion and practical examples from some of the world’s largest and most innovative companies.
Featuring articles from Px3’s key technology customers and partners including Acer, Citrix, Consenna Ltd, Google, Hydro66 | Green Cloud Infrastructure (Northern Data), IGEL Technology, Prime Computer Ltd. and Thoughtify Ltd, this crucial COP 26 supplement also includes opinion pieces from Cristina Figueres, UNFCCC climate champions Nigel Topping and Gonzalo Muñoz Abogabir, UN patron of the oceans Lewis Pugh and climate activist Jonathan Porritt.
Justin notes in his editorial that from a brand perspective, many companies are working not just to offset the issue of greenhouse gas emissions but to actually prevent them. The special edition covers strategic initiatives such as centres powered by renewable energy, recycled plastic laptops, second-use cardboard packaging, low-energy devices and remote working. All of this is hugely positive, and gives all of us the opportunity to take advantage of these innovative approaches to deliver a more sustainable future.
“Computing generates 2.3% of global greenhouse gas emissions due to raw material mining, manufacturing, distribution, electricity consumption and recycling. If somebody said, ‘we only have 50 things to address to save the world’, computing would need to be given a place on that list.”
Justin Sutton-Parker, November 2021
