The environmental impact of IT infrastructure, including data centers and workplace devices, has been largely overlooked despite the focus on eco-friendliness in recent years, according to Matt Warburton, sustainability lead at IT advisory firm ISG. While data centers are often targeted for their impact, devices also contribute significantly. However, IT's impact is becoming harder to ignore as CIOs recognize that sustainability measures can reduce costs without compromising quality. The carbon footprint of IT varies by sector, with higher IT intensity industries having a greater impact. Technology leaders can reduce the environmental impact of IT by creating an ESG data strategy, establishing a baseline of energy usage, educating and incentivizing staff, setting net zero IT goals, and collaborating with technology providers.
