IT chiefs urged to take lead on carbon
Communications Managers Association to show how IT can cut carbon emissions
Rosalie Marshall, IT Week 04 Aug 2008
Trade body the Communications Management Association (CMA) has urged IT leaders to make technology the cornerstone of organisational efforts to cut carbon emissions.
The CMA has joined forces with the Carbon Trust to develop best practice guidelines on how businesses can use information communication technology, such as tele-conferencing and home working, to realise carbon savings.
A joint project, called Carbon Intent, will include a thorough review of all existing research on energy saving strategies businesses have been employing and highlight companies that deploy green products, systems and business processes efficiently.
“Through the Carbon Intent initiative we propose to draw together and share examples of current best practice from video-conferencing to logistics and transport planning to home working,” said Glenn Powell, CMA chief executive, in a statement. "The aim is to create industry-wide guidelines and benchmarks that any ICT professional anywhere can tap into for assistance.”
