The green agenda – Achieving carbon peace of mind
The introduction of the Carbon Reduction Commitment has put ‘green’ back on the agenda. But Chris Gabriel, director of marketing and solutions at Logicalis says a low-carbon outlook can also bring efficiency and financial benefits.
As of April this year, the prospect of real financial penalties stemming from the introduction of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (recently renamed the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme) means the board will be paying closer attention to IT’s power consumption than ever before, placing carbon reduction strategies at the forefront of all IT manager’s minds.
While the initial phase of CRC is only compulsory for large ‘low energy-intensive’ private and public organisations, the cost and resource efficiency benefits of going green reveal a compelling case for change as we move toward economic recovery; green is firmly back on the agenda for businesses of all sizes as we enter this new decade.
