Low carbon ICT
Technology plays an integral part in our everyday lives. The scale of technology in some businesses can have a significant impact on the overall energy and carbon footprint of an organisation. Those who have developed business models to enable low carbon ICT solutions to be a pivotal part of their business strategy have benefited through cost savings, revenue upside opportunities and carbon footprint reduction. Technology plays a vital role in nearly every aspect of our domestic and working lives and will continue to grow into the future, placing more emphasis on the need to invest in sustainable strategies to keep pace with the growth and demand. How we live, play, work, do business, develop solutions and deliver products and services will shape our communities today and for generations to come.
Expectations are higher than ever. Investors and other stakeholders consider companies in terms of the “triple bottom line”, reflecting financial performance, environmental practices, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
At IRES, we are working with our clients to help them think and act differently to support their transition. Companies who succeed will gain competitive advantage in a number of different ways. When organisations make investment decisions, they must fully understand the opportunities and pressure points in order to obtain an economic, energy efficient and increased performance benefit.
Are you picking up the right signals and how robust is your current strategy?
The ICT sector has a critical role to play with other sectors to design and deploy solutions needed to create a low carbon society and increase bottom line profitability. Technology is fundamental to becoming more energy efficient and tackling climate change.
More and more companies are seeing that energy and carbon output from ICT as an ever increasing business and sustainability risk. Increases in energy and carbon ultimately translate to cost. With the right approach, organisations can make some impressive cost savings and commercial returns. The key is having the right data, a solid low carbon ICT strategy, internal buy-in and an investment plan that will give you the best commercial outcome. We can work with you to make sure your transitional journey not only satisfies your regulatory requirements, but also makes commercial sense and delivers lucrative business savings.
