Sustainability

As public awareness and support for global environmentalism increases, technology organisations are beginning to implement green initiatives to not only mitigate their impact on the planet but also to reduce their costs.

The technology sector’s sustainability profile is a double-edged sword. On one hand, the sector holds great promise in terms of changing society’s patterns of travel and communication (and thus energy consumption), and bringing economic and social development to disadvantaged citizens. On the other hand, short product cycles lead to high disposability, electronics often consume considerable energy in the home even when not in use, and manufacturing processes are often resource intensive.
